Product Description
TEPC466 is a novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE) probe based on TEPP-46. TEPC466 displays high selectivity and sensitivity for detecting PKM2 protein via AIE effect. EPC466 can be used for the detection of PKM2. TEPC466 was successfully used for low-toxic imaging of PKM2 protein in colorectal cancer/tumor cells. TEPC466 is a useful tool in cancer diagnosis and research.
TEPC466 is a novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorescent probe designed for the specific detection and bioimaging of pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), a key glycolytic enzyme and tumor biomarker. It was synthesized by conjugating the selective PKM2 activator TEPP-46 with coumarin-3-carboxylic acid. TEPC466 exhibits high selectivity for PKM2 over other proteins and analytes, with a detection limit as low as 21.25 ng/mL. Upon binding to PKM2, the probe's intramolecular rotations are restricted, triggering a strong AIE signal. Furthermore, TEPC466 acts as an agonist that enhances PKM2 enzymatic activity in a dose-dependent manner (0–100 μM). It demonstrates low cytotoxicity and has been successfully used for fluorescence imaging of PKM2 in living colorectal cancer cells (e.g., HT-29 and HCT 116), making it a promising theranostic tool for cancer diagnosis and therapy.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
PKM2 (pyruvate kinase M2) – binds to PKM2 with a binding free energy of -8.9 kcal/mol (molecular docking); activates PKM2 and increases its pyruvate kinase activity in a dose-dependent manner (0-100 μM) [1]
ln Vitro
In Vitro: TEPC466 (10 μM) showed a high degree of selectivity for PKM2 protein over other analytes including free amino acids (His, Arg, Ala, Tyr, Cys, Gly), common ions (Na+, K+, Cl-), peptides (GSH), glucose, and proteins (COX-2, proteinase K, NQO1). When mixed with PKM1, TEPC466 emitted slight fluorescence, but the intensity induced by PKM2 was about 5.8-fold higher than that induced by PKM1. [1]
TEPC466 detected PKM2 with high sensitivity, showing a linear fluorescence intensity increase at 390 nm with PKM2 concentrations from 0 to 20 μg/mL (R² = 0.9884). The detection limit was determined to be 21.25 ng/mL. [1]
TEPC466 exhibited an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) property. In a THF/H₂O system, TEPC466 emitted weak fluorescence in water; upon addition of THF (up to 90%), fluorescence intensity increased and the emission peak blue-shifted from 420 to 390 nm. In pure THF, fluorescence intensity decreased significantly along with a blue shift. [1]
TEPC466 (0-100 μM) increased the PK activity of recombinant PKM2 in a dose-dependent manner, showing a stronger agonistic effect than TEPP-46 (100 μM). [1]
Molecular docking revealed that TEPC466 binds to similar sites on PKM2 as TEPP-46, with the coumarine fragment forming additional interactions with PRO517 in the PKM2 subunit. The binding free energies were -8.9 kcal/mol for TEPC466 and -5.6 kcal/mol for TEPP-46, indicating tighter binding of TEPC466 to PKM2. [1]
Enzyme Assay
Enzyme Assay: PK activity assay: Recombinant PKM2 was incubated with different concentrations of TEPC466 (0-100 μM) or TEPP-46 (100 μM). The pyruvate kinase activity was then measured. TEPC466 significantly increased the PK activity of PKM2 in a dose-dependent manner. [1]
Molecular docking: The crystal structure of PKM2 (PDB number: 4B2D1) was used. The position of the co-crystallized ligand was set as the binding site. Autodock Vina was employed as the docking engine. Gasteiger charge was used for electrostatic interaction calculations. The exhaustiveness parameter was set to 8. The docking space was set to 20 × 20 × 20 ų. All ligands (TEPC466 and TEPP-46) were docked 100 times for sufficient sampling. [1]
Selectivity assay: The probe TEPC466 (10 μM) was incubated with free amino acids (His, Arg, Ala, Tyr, Cys, Gly), common ions (Na+, K+, Cl-), peptides (GSH), glucose, and proteins (PKM2, COX-2, proteinase K, NQO1) at 37°C for 30 min. Fluorescence emission spectrum was recorded from 330 to 500 nm at an excitation wavelength of 310 nm with excitation and emission slit widths of 3 nm and 5 nm, respectively. [1]
Sensitivity assay: PKM2 protein was diluted in a series of concentrations and incubated with TEPC466 (10 μM) at 37°C for 20 min. Fluorescence emission spectrum was measured from 330 to 500 nm at an excitation wavelength of 310 nm. Detection limit was calculated as 3σb/k, where σb is the standard deviation of blank measurements and k is the slope of fluorescence intensities versus sample concentrations. [1]
Cell Assay
Cell Assay: Cytotoxicity evaluation: HT-29 and HCT 116 cells were incubated with different concentrations of TEPC466 (0-20 μM) for 24 h, then cell viability was detected using CCK-8 kit. When incubated with TEPC466 (0-20 μM), cell viability of both cell lines was above 90%, indicating low toxicity and good biocompatibility. [1]
Bioimaging in living cells: HT-29 and HCT 116 colorectal cancer cells were treated with TEPC466 (20 μM) and incubated for 2 h before fluorescence imaging on a laser confocal microscope (λex: 405 nm). TEPC466 successfully emitted blue fluorescence in both normal cancer cells. PKM2-downregulated cells (treated with si-PKM2) incubated with TEPC466 barely exhibited a fluorescence signal. [1]
Western blot: PKM2 protein was validated using PKM2 antibody. Endogenous PKM2 protein was significantly depleted by si-PKM2 compared with the control group. [1]
PKM2 concentration detection in cells: PKM2 levels in tumor cells (HT-29, Caco-2, HCT 116) ranged from 290-906 ng/mL, which was significantly higher than that in normal cells (293T and IEC-6, 136-195 ng/mL). [1]
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The probe showed good solubility in aqueous solutions at concentrations below 10 μM; at 50 μM, it showed proper solubility in water but began to precipitate in THF solution. [1]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
TEPC466 showed low toxicity in cell viability assays. When HT-29 and HCT 116 cells were incubated with TEPC466 at concentrations from 0 to 20 μM for 24 h, cell viability remained above 90% for both cell lines, indicating good biocompatibility. [1]
