Product Description
PLK1/BRD4-IN-3 (Compound 21) is a selective dual inhibitor of bromodomain 4 (BRD4) and polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1). PLK1/BRD4-IN-3 inhibits BRD4-BD1, PLK1, and BRDT-BD1 with IC50 of 0.059, 0.127, and 0.245 μM, respectively.
PLK1/BRD4-IN-3 (Compound 21) is a selective dual inhibitor targeting both bromodomain 4 (BRD4) and polo‑like kinase 1 (PLK1). It is a small molecule designed for cancer research, based on a structure‑guided design strategy to simultaneously inhibit two independent oncogenic pathways: epigenetic regulation via BRD4 and cell cycle progression via PLK1.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
BRD4 BD1 0.059 μM (IC50) PLK1 0.127 μM (IC50) BRDT BD1 0.245 μM (IC50)
BRD4 (bromodomain 4, specifically the first bromodomain, BD1) and PLK1 (polo‑like kinase 1). The compound also inhibits BRDT-BD1 (the bromodomain of bromodomain testis‑specific protein).
ln Vitro
In cell‑free enzymatic assays, PLK1/BRD4-IN-3 inhibits BRD4-BD1 with an IC₅0 of 0.059 uM (59 nM), PLK1 with an IC₅0 of 0.127 uM (127 nM), and BRDT-BD1 with an IC₅0 of 0.245 uM (245 nM). This balanced dual inhibition profile demonstrates high potency against both targets.
ln Vivo
This entry is not available. As a dual inhibitor, PLK1/BRD4-IN-3 is expected to induce both G2/M cell cycle arrest (due to PLK1 inhibition) and downregulation of oncogenes such as MYC (due to BRD4 inhibition). The combination of these effects should lead to synergistic anti‑proliferative activity in cancer cells.
Enzyme Assay
A general cell‑free protocol for BRD4 inhibition: A TR‑FRET assay is used. Recombinant BRD4(BD1) protein (2 nM) is incubated with a biotinylated acetylated histone H4 peptide (50 nM) in assay buffer (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% Tween‑20, 0.1% BSA) with varying concentrations of PLK1/BRD4-IN-3 (0.001‑10 uM). Europium‑labeled anti‑GST antibody (1 nM) and streptavidin‑XL665 (20 nM) are added. After 1 hour, the FRET signal is measured at 665 nm. The IC₅0 is calculated. For PLK1 inhibition, a radiometric kinase assay is used. Recombinant PLK1 (5 nM) is incubated with a biotinylated peptide substrate (1 uM) and 10 uM ATP with varying concentrations of PLK1/BRD4-IN-3. The reaction is incubated at 30degC for 30 minutes, and the phosphorylated substrate is detected by TR‑FRET.
Cell Assay
A general cellular protocol for PLK1/BRD4 inhibitors: Cancer cells (e.g., HeLa, MV4‑11, or A549) are seeded in 96‑well plates and treated with serial dilutions of PLK1/BRD4-IN-3 (0.001‑10 uM) for 72 hours. Cell viability is measured using CellTiter‑Glo or MTT assay. For cell cycle analysis, cells are treated for 24 hours, fixed, stained with propidium iodide, and analyzed by flow cytometry. Mitotic index is assessed by staining with anti‑phospho‑histone H3 (Ser10) antibody. For BRD4 inhibition, cells are treated for 6‑24 hours, and MYC mRNA levels are measured by qRT‑PCR, and MYC protein levels are measured by Western blot. For PLK1 inhibition, cells are treated for 24 hours, and phospho‑PLK1 (Thr210) and phospho‑Cdc25C (Ser216) levels are measured by Western blot.
Animal Protocol
A general animal protocol for PLK1/BRD4-IN-3: Female NOD/SCID mice are subcutaneously implanted with 5×10⁶ MV4‑11 leukemia cells or HeLa cervical cancer cells. When tumors reach ~150 mm3, mice are randomized into treatment groups (n=8/group). PLK1/BRD4-IN-3 is formulated in a suitable vehicle (e.g., 10% DMSO, 40% PEG300, 5% Tween‑80, 45% saline) and administered via oral gavage at doses of 10, 30, and 100 mg/kg once daily for 21 days. Tumor volume is measured twice weekly. At study end, tumors are harvested for Western blot (MYC, phospho‑histone H3, cleaved PARP), IHC (Ki‑67, phospho‑histone H3), and qRT‑PCR (MYC). A PK/PD study is performed to correlate plasma exposure with target inhibition.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
General PK protocol for PLK1/BRD4-IN-3: Male Sprague‑Dawley rats are administered PLK1/BRD4-IN-3 via oral gavage (PO, 10 mg/kg) and intravenous (IV, 2 mg/kg). Blood samples are collected at 0.083, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours. Plasma concentrations are quantified by LC‑MS/MS. PK parameters (Cmax, Tmax, AUC, t½, clearance, Vd, and oral bioavailability) are calculated. The compound has a molecular weight of 561.72 and is soluble in DMSO at 16.67 mg/mL.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
General toxicity protocol for PLK1/BRD4-IN-3: A 14‑day repeat‑dose oral toxicity study is performed in ICR mice. PLK1/BRD4-IN-3 is administered via oral gavage at doses of 10, 30, and 100 mg/kg/day for 14 days. Parameters include clinical signs, body weight, food consumption, hematology (complete blood count with differential, platelet count), serum chemistry (ALT, AST, BUN, creatinine), and histopathology of bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract, liver, and kidney. Special attention is paid to the bone marrow (myelosuppression) and GI tract (gastrointestinal toxicity), which are on‑target effects of PLK1 and BRD4 inhibition.
