生物活性 | AVN-944 (VX-944) is an orally active, potent, selective, noncompetitive and specific inhibitor ofIMPDH(inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase). AVN-944 is an essential rate-limiting enzyme in de novo guanine nucleotide synthesis. AVN-944 is also an inhibitor ofarenavirusRNA synthesis, and blocksarenavirusinfection. AVN-944 has broad anti-cancer activities, and can be used for multiple myeloma (MM) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) research[1][2][3]. |
体外研究 (In Vitro) | AVN-944 (0-1 μM, 48 h) inhibits growth of human multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines in a dose-dependent manner[1]. AVN-944 (800 nM, 0-72 h) inducesapoptosisin MM cell lines via a caspase-independent, Bax/AIF/Endo G pathway[1]. AVN-944 (0-200 nM) enhances the cytotoxicity ofDoxorubicin(HY-15142A) andMelphalan(HY-17575)[1]. AVN-944 inhibits the proliferation of the human MV-4-11 and murine Ba/F3-Flt3-ITD-dependent cell lines with IC50values of 26 and 30 nM, respectively[2]. AVN-944 (0-32 μM, 48 h) shows good activity against arenavirus infection at low doses (7.5 μM) with less cytotoxicity[3]. AVN-944 (0-6.4 μM, 48 h) does not reduce the viability of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs)[1].
Cell Proliferation Assay[1] Cell Line: | RPMI8226, MM.1S, and U266 cells | Concentration: | 0, 100, 200, 300, 400, 600, 1000 nM | Incubation Time: | 48 h | Result: | Significantly inhibited the growth of RPMI8226, MM.1S, and U266 cells in a dose-dependent fashion, with 50% inhibition (IC50) values at 48 h of 450, 450, and 600 nM, respectively. Inhibited growth of drug-resistant cell lines, including Doxorubicin (Dox)-resistant RPMI8226-Dox40, Melphalan (Mel) resistant RPMI8226-LR5, and Dex (Dexamethasone) resistant MM.1R cells, with IC50values similar to the parental drug-sensitive cell lines. |
Apoptosis Analysis[1] Cell Line: | MM.1S and RPMI8226 cells | Concentration: | 800 nM | Incubation Time: | 48 and 72 h | Result: | Induced apoptosis in MM cell lines. |
Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Line: | MM.1S and RPMI8226 cells | Concentration: | 800 nM | Incubation Time: | 12, 24, 48 h | Result: | Induced modest cleavage of caspase 3, 8 and 9 in MM.1S cells and RPMI8226 cells. Markedly upregulated Bax and Bak, without significant changes in Bcl-2, Mcl-1, XIAP, and Bad. Observed translocation of mitochondrial proapoptotic proteins, apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) and endonuclease G (Endo G) to cytosolic fractions. |
Cell Cytotoxicity Assay[1] Cell Line: | MM.1S cells, MM.1S cells cultured with BMSCs | Concentration: | 0, 50, 200 nM | Incubation Time: | 24 h | Result: | Enhanced the cytotoxicity of of Doxorubicin and Melphalan in MM.1S cells. Additive effects were also observed in MM.1S cells cultured with BMSCs derived from MM patient. |
