| Targets |
Zotatifin targets eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A (eIF4A), an RNA helicase that unwinds secondary structures in the 5' untranslated regions (UTRs) of mRNAs to facilitate ribosome recruitment and translation initiation. By inhibiting eIF4A, Zotatifin selectively suppresses the translation of mRNAs with complex 5'-UTR structures, including many oncogenes.

| ln Vitro |
Zotatifin causes the stable ternary complex [eIF4A-RNA-eFT226] to form. In the presence or absence of eFT226, ozotifin lengthens the residence duration of eIF4A1 bound to the AGAGAG RNA surface, with Kd values of 0.021 μM and 8.0 μM [1]. has sequence-dependent inhibition of in vitro translation, with IC50 values in the MDA-MB-231 cell line of 1.5 nM, 13.8 nM, 92.5 nM, and 217.5 nM. temporarily transfected with 5'-UTRs for AGAGAG, GGCGGC, CCGCCG, and CAACAA. In a dose-dependent manner, zotatifin (0.0001 μM-1 μM; 72 hours) suppresses the development of tumor cells. It exhibits strong anti-apoptotic action in MDA-MB-231 tumor cells (GI50<15 nM). Zotatifin (0.0001 μM-1 μM; 72 hours) suppresses the proliferation of tumor cells against TMD8, SU-DHL-2, HBL1, Pfeiffer, and SU-DHL-; however, the anti-proliferative action of eFT226 is abruptly relieved by eIF4A1 F163L [1]. GI50 value 6, SU-DHL-10, VAL, Carnaval, U2973, Ramos, Jeko1, Mino, and Rec-1 cells have the following performance values: 4.1 nM, 3 nM, 5.6 nM, 3.7 nM, 5.3 nM, 7.3 nM, and 6.6 nM, in that order. The transformation regulatory protein of coconut genes is induced by zotatifin (30 μM-100 μM; 3 or 24 hours) in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Zotatifin's antiviral efficacy is evaluated using a number of certified tests, including the TCID50 assay, plaque assay, NP-staining assay, and others [2]. Less viral NP protein and less concentration were found in Vero E6 cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 isolates at concentrations of 100 nM, 200 nM, 500 nM, 2 μM, and 10 μM; 1 or 2 hours prior to virus isolation.
In vitro, Zotatifin is a highly effective and sequence-selective inhibitor of eIF4A, with an IC50 of 2 nM. It promotes eIF4A binding to specific mRNA sequences and disrupts the assembly of the eIF4F initiation complex. The compound induces cell apoptosis and inhibits Sox4 translation. |
| ln Vivo |
In TMD8 xenografts, HBL1-bearing xenografts, Pfeiffer-bearing xenografts, and SU-DHL-6-bearing xenografts, zogafitin (IV; 1 mg/kg; 14–22 days) decreases tumor size and inhibits plaques. The percentages of tumor growth in SU-DHL-10 xenograft- and Ramos-bearing animals were 97%, 87%, 70%, 83%, 37%, and 75%, respectively [1]. In B-cell-localized xenograft models, zogafitin (IV; 0.001 mg/kg-1 mg/kg; 15 days) is well tolerated and reduces the growth of B-cell-localized xenografts [1].
In vivo, Zotatifin has antitumor activity, blocking tumor growth driven by receptor tyrosine kinases. It has been reported to inhibit translation of driver oncogenes in models of lymphoma and exhibits antiviral activity by impacting viral protein translation and replication. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme inhibition assays for Zotatifin are performed using purified eIF4A protein. The helicase activity of eIF4A is measured in the presence of increasing concentrations of the compound, using RNA substrates and ATP. The inhibition of RNA unwinding is quantified, and the IC50 (2 nM) is calculated from the inhibition curve.

| Additional Infomation |
Zotatifin is being investigated in the clinical trial NCT04092673 (Eft226 in patients with specific advanced solid tumors). Zotatifin is a selective inhibitor of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A (eIF4A) with potential antitumor activity. After administration, Zotatifin targets and binds to eIF4A, promoting the binding of eIF4A to mRNAs containing specific polypurine motifs within the 5' untranslated region (5'-UTR), thereby forming a stable sequence-specific ternary complex (eIF4A-zotatifin-mRNA). This leads to the inhibition of translation of key oncogenes and anti-apoptotic proteins involved in tumor cell proliferation, survival, and metastasis, such as KRAS, Myc, myeloid leukemia-1 (Mcl-1), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) 4 and 6, cyclin D, fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) 1 and 2, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2; ERBB2), and β-catenin. The inhibition of these oncogene expression results in the suppression of multiple oncogenic signaling pathways, thereby inhibiting tumor cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis. eIF4A is an RNA helicase and a rate-limiting component of the eukaryotic translation initiation complex. It catalyzes ATP-dependent RNA double-strand unwinding and promotes the scanning of 43S ribosomes within the 5' untranslated region (5'-UTR). eIF4A can be activated by multiple oncogenic signaling pathways, including the RAS/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway, and regulates the translation of oncogenes and tumor survival factors with complex secondary structures in the 5'-UTR. These genes and factors are essential for the proliferation, survival and metastasis of tumor cells.
Zotatifin is also known as eFT226. It is a selective eIF4A inhibitor with antiviral and anticancer activities. It promotes eIF4A binding to specific mRNA sequences and interferes with the assembly of the eIF4F initiation complex. This product is for research use only. |
