2-Guanidinobezimidazole
Based on 1 Customer Validation
2-Guanidinobezimidazole (2GBI) is a NLRP3 agonist with a KD of 1.29 μM and a selective state-dependent HVCN1 blocker. 2-Guanidinobezimidazole directly binds NLRP3’s LRR domain, enhances NLRP3-ASC and NLRP3-NEK7 interactions, and drives NLRP3 inflammasome activation. 2-Guanidinobezimidazole can be used for the research of LLC lung carcinoma, B16F10 melanoma and ischemic stroke.

Biological Activity
|
NLRP3 |
2-Guanidinobezimidazole rapidly inhibits proton conduction in wild-type human Hv1 channels expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes via open-channel block, with fast binding and unbinding kinetics, and does not interact with closed channel states[2].
2-Guanidinobezimidazole interacts with human Hv1 mutant channels (D112E, F150A) expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes via a binding site comprising residues D112 and F150, with mutations at these sites altering the fast open-channel block kinetics[2].

Result:Increased tumor tissue IL-1β levels to ~2500 pg/mL/100 mg (n=7,8) and IL-18 levels to ~1500 pg/mL/100 mg (n=6).
Increased the proportion of caspase-1+ macrophages to 33.9% (n=6), caspase-1+ DCs to 32.8% (n=5), and caspase-1+ neutrophils to 20.7% (n=5) in tumors.
Reduced LLC tumor volume to ~300 mm3 at day 30 (n=6) and tumor weight to ~0.5 g (n=6).
Increased tumor-infiltrating CD4+ T cell counts to ~15 × 105 (n=7) and CD8+ T cell counts to ~8 × 105 (n=7).
Increased the percentage of IFN-γ+ CD8+ T cells to 17.5% (n=7).
Increased migratory DC counts to ~6 × 103 (n=5) and increased CD40 MFI to ~1400 and CD86 MFI to ~1600 on DCs in tumor-draining lymph nodes (n=5).\nReduced LLC tumor volume to ~400 mm3 at day 30 when administered alone.
Further reduced tumor volume to ~200 mm3 at day 30 (n=5,6) when combined with anti-PD-1, overcoming anti-PD-1 resistance.

Administration:i.p.; every other day
-
Result:Increased tumor IL-1β levels to ~4000 pg/mL/100 mg (n=5) and IL-18 levels to ~1800 pg/mL/100 mg (n=5), and increased caspase-1+ macrophage proportion to 26.9% (n=5) in WT mice; these effects were abolished in Nlrp3-/- mice.
Reduced WT mouse tumor volume to ~200 mm3 at day 26 (n=5) and tumor weight to ~0.5 g (n=5); no such effect was observed in Nlrp3-/- mice.
Increased tumor-infiltrating CD4+ T cell counts to ~25 × 105 (n=5) and CD8+ T cell counts to ~20 × 105 (n=5), and increased IFN-γ+ CD8+ T cell percentage to 22.9% (n=5) in WT mice; none of these effects were observed in Nlrp3-/- mice.

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (11.87 mM); Clear solution
