| Targets |
Sephin-1 targets the phosphatase regulatory subunit PPP1R15A (R15A). It selectively disrupts the PPP1R15A-PP1c complex, prolonging eIF2α phosphorylation after stress, delaying translation recovery, and attenuating the expression of stress genes such as the pro-apoptotic protein CHOP. It is devoid of PPP1R15B and α2-adrenergic activity.

| ln Vitro |
During the day, oligodendrocytes' eIF2α phosphorylation is prolonged by cerguastat (5 μM) [1]. Holophosphatase phosphatase Icerguastat (Sephin1) selectively binds to and inhibits downstream-induced PPP1R15A, but not associated PPP1R15B, to prolong phosphosignal coupling Supplement and prevent other proteins' misfolded middle section from undergoing apoptosis [2].
In vitro, Sephin-1 selectively disrupts the PPP1R15A-PP1c complex, prolonging eIF2α phosphorylation after stress. It attenuates the expression of stress genes such as CHOP and protects cells from cytotoxic ER stress. It stimulates ATF4 synthesis in the absence of stress. |
| ln Vivo |
Icerguastat (4–8 mg/kg; intraperitoneally; daily for 35 days) postpones the body's reaction to experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE). Infection is prolonged once with iceraguastat (100 μg; ip). Premon
In vivo, Sephin-1 safely and selectively inhibits a regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 1. It protects against protein misfolding, motor deficits, motor neuron loss, and the molecular defects in SOD1 mutant mice, a model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Its cytoprotective effects have been observed in various neurodegenerative disease models. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays are not applicable for Sephin-1, as its target is a protein-protein interaction (PPP1R15A-PP1c). Its activity is assessed in cell-based assays measuring the disruption of this complex and the downstream effects on eIF2α phosphorylation and CHOP expression.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for Sephin-1 are performed using cells subjected to ER stress. Cells are treated with the compound, and the phosphorylation of eIF2α and the expression of CHOP are measured by Western blot or qPCR. The compound's ability to protect cells from ER stress-induced cell death is assessed by measuring cell viability.

| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: C57BL/6J female mice were immunized with MOG35-55/CFA to induce chronic EAE[1]
Doses: 4 mg/kg, 8 mg/kg Route of Administration: Ip ;The lifetime of the virus in mice [3]. one time/day for 35 days Experimental Results: Both doses Dramatically delayed the onset of clinical disease, but the delay was greater with the 8 mg/kg treatment. Animal/Disease Models: Fiveweeks old female FVB mice (intracerebral injection of mouse-adapted RML prions) [3] Doses: 100 μg Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection; 3 times a week for 60 days, treatment after 60 days Reduce to twice weekly intraperitoneal (ip) injections for 20 days. Experimental Results: Dramatically prolonged survival of prion-infected mice. In vivo animal studies for Sephin-1 are conducted in mouse models of neurodegenerative diseases, such as the SOD1 mutant mouse model of ALS. The compound is administered orally or intraperitoneally, and its effects on motor function, motor neuron survival, and molecular markers of stress are assessed. |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
