CXCR4
USL311 targets CXCR4 (C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4), a G protein-coupled receptor that binds its natural ligand, stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1, also known as CXCL12). The SDF-1/CXCR4 axis plays a critical role in tumor progression, angiogenesis, metastasis, and immune cell trafficking. CXCR4 is overexpressed in many cancers and is associated with poor prognosis and resistance to therapy. By antagonizing CXCR4, USL311 prevents SDF-1 from binding to the receptor, thereby inhibiting downstream signaling pathways that promote tumor cell migration, invasion, and survival. USL311 is a selective CXCR4 antagonist. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, USL311 is a potent and selective CXCR4 antagonist. The compound prevents the binding of SDF-1/CXCL12 to CXCR4. Its antagonistic activity has been characterized in cell-based assays measuring CXCR4-mediated signaling, including calcium mobilization, cell migration, and chemotaxis. The compound's selectivity for CXCR4 over other chemokine receptors has been confirmed.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, USL311 has anti-tumor activity. By blocking the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis, the compound inhibits tumor progression, angiogenesis, and metastasis. USL311 has been evaluated in preclinical models of cancer. Its ability to inhibit tumor growth and metastasis has been demonstrated in xenograft models. The compound has also been studied in clinical trials for various cancers.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding (non-cell) assays for USL311 involve measuring its binding affinity to CXCR4. Radioligand binding assays using membrane preparations from cells expressing CXCR4 are performed with a radiolabeled CXCR4 ligand (e.g., [¹²⁵I]-SDF-1 or a small molecule CXCR4 antagonist) and varying concentrations of USL311. Binding affinity (IC50 or Ki) is determined by competitive displacement.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based experiments for USL311 are conducted using cancer cell lines that express CXCR4. Cells are treated with USL311 at varying concentrations, and cell migration and invasion are assessed using Boyden chamber or transwell assays. Calcium mobilization is measured using fluorescent calcium indicators to assess CXCR4 signaling inhibition. Cell proliferation and survival are assessed using standard viability assays.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments for USL311 are performed in xenograft mouse models of cancer. USL311 is administered, and tumor growth, metastasis, and angiogenesis are assessed. The compound's ability to inhibit tumor progression and improve survival is evaluated. Clinical trials in humans have also been conducted for various cancers.

| Additional Infomation |
USL-311 is currently undergoing clinical trial NCT02765165 (a phase I/II study of USL-311 as monotherapy and in combination with lomustine in patients with advanced solid tumors and recurrent/recurrent glioblastoma (GBM)). The CXCR4 antagonist USL-311 is an orally bioavailable CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) inhibitor with potential antitumor activity. After administration, USL-311 binds to CXCR4, thereby preventing the binding of stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1 or CXCL12) to CXCR4 and inhibiting CXCR4 activation, which may lead to reduced proliferation and migration of CXCR4-expressing tumor cells. CXCR4 is a chemokine receptor belonging to the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family, playing an important role in chemotaxis and angiogenesis, and is upregulated in various tumor cell types.
USL311 is also known as USL-311. It is a potent and selective CXCR4 antagonist with anti-tumor activity. The compound has been investigated in preclinical and clinical studies for the treatment of various cancers. Its ability to block the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis and inhibit tumor progression makes it a promising therapeutic agent. The compound is not approved for clinical use. |
