Azoramide is a potent, orally active small-molecule modulator of the unfolded protein response (UPR). Azoramide improves ER protein folding and elevates ER chaperone capacity, which together protects cells against ER stress. Azoramide alleviates PLA2G6 mutant-induced ER stress through modulating unfolded protein response, and enhances the CERB signaling to rescue mitochondrial function, thereby preventing apoptosis of DA neurons. Azoramide has antidiabetic activity.

    Description

    Azoramide is a potent, orally active small-molecule modulator of the unfolded protein response (UPR). Azoramide improves ER protein folding and elevates ER chaperone capacity, which together protects cells against ER stress. Azoramide alleviates PLA2G6 mutant-induced ER stress through modulating unfolded protein response, and enhances the CERB signaling to rescue mitochondrial function, thereby preventing apoptosis of DA neurons. Azoramide has antidiabetic activity[1][2].

    In Vitro

    Azoramide (0.01-100 µM; 0-24 h; Huh7 cells) regulates ER folding and secretion capacity without inducing ER stress[1].
    Azoramide (15 µM; 2-16 h; Huh7 cells) protects cells from induced ER stress. Azoramide counteracts Tunicamycin (Tm, HY-A0098)-induced ATF6LD-Cluc secretion and Tm-induced decrease of ASGR-Cluc secretion. Azoramide suppresses Tm-induced GRP78 and CHOP protein expression[1].
    Azoramide (15 µM; 2-16 h; Hepa 1-6 cells) alters ER calcium homeostasis and retains a greater fraction of Ca2+ in the ER[1].
    Azoramide (0-10 µM; 5 d) attenuates loss of PLA2G6D331Y/D331Y iPSC-derived midbrain DA neurons[2].
    Azoramide (10 µM; 5 d) reduces the increase in ROS and ameliorates the decline in mitochondrial membrane potential in PLA2G6D331Y/D331Y midbrain DA neurons[2].
    Azoramide (10 µM; 0-30 d) suppresses mitochondrial fragmentation in PLA2G6D331Y/D331Y midbrain DA neurons[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

    • 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.
