Description

ZCL278 is a selective Cdc42 modulator that directly binds to Cdc42 and inhibits its functions with Kd of 11.4 μM for Cdc42-ZCL278 affinity in surface plasmon resonance (SPR) experiment.

IC50 & Target

Kd: 11.4 μM (Cdc42)[1]

In Vitro

ZCL278 as a potent, cell-permeable Cdc42-specific inhibitor that suppresses actin-based cellular functions, including Golgi organization and cell motility.In Swiss 3T3 fibroblast cultures, ZCL278 abolishes microspike formation and disrupted GM130-docked Golgi structures, two of the most prominent Cdc42-mediated subcellular events. ZCL278 reduces the perinuclear accumulation of active Cdc42 in contrast to NSC23766, a selective Rac inhibitor. ZCL278 suppresses Cdc42-mediated neuronal branching and growth cone dynamics as well as actin-based motility and migration in a metastatic prostate cancer cell line (i.e., PC-3) without disrupting cell viability[1]. ZCL278 inhibits Cdc42 function as an entry inhibitor for Junin virus (JUNV) and for vesicular stomatitis virus, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, and dengue virus but not for the nonenveloped poliovirus. In cells, ZCL278 is shown to efficiently inhibit chemically induced filopodium formation, a process dependent on Cdc42 activity. Dose-response experiments are first carried out in Vero cells, and while ZCL278 is not toxic at concentrations up to 200 μM, ZCL278 inhibits JUNV with IC50 of ~14 μM, as measured by flow cytometry[2].

In Vivo

ZCL278 reduces the JUNV RNA load in the spleen more than 33-fold, with JUNV RNA being undetectable in 5 out of 8 mice. These results are similar to those seen in Gabapentin-treated mice, demonstrating that ZCL278 can abrogate JUNV replication[2].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.27 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.27 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Kinase Assay
[1]

Lyophilized Cdc42 protein is reconstituted to 5 mg/mL in a buffer consisting of 50 mM Tris, 0.5 mM MgCl2, 50 mM NaCl, 3% (wt/vol) sucrose, and 0.6% dextran. The stock solution is then diluted to 1 μM in 5 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.4. Into a quartz cuvettete containing Cdc42 solution, aliquots of ZCL278 are added and incubated for 5 min before each fluorescent measurement. The excitation wavelength is 275 nm, and the fluorescence of tryptophan at 350 nm is measured after each addition. The titration curve is fitted using the equimolar specific binding model in GraphPad, and the Kd is calculated[1].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Assay
[1]

To determine cell viability, PC-3 cells are incubated for 24 h with or without the Cdc42 activator, ZCL278, or NSC23766. By using the trypan blue dye exclusion method, the numbers of live and dead cells are obtained with a Countess Automated Cell Counter. P values are assigned in each experiment, and any null hypothesis with probability level <95% is rejected[1].

Animal Administration
[2]

Mice[2]
Four-week-old C57BL/6 mice receive intravenous injections of Gabapentin or ZCL278 (100 μg/g, i.p.). At 1 h after treatment, the mice are inoculated intraperitoneally with JUNV Candid #1 (1×106 PFU) in no more than 1 mL with a 27 1/2-gauge needle. At the end of the experiment, the mice are sacrificed, their spleens are homogenized with a Dounce homogenizer and centrifuged to generate a cell pellet and supernatant, and RNA expression levels are determined.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
