3BDO
Based on 21 publication(s) in Google Scholar
3BDO is a IFITM3 modulator and mTOR activator with antiviral and autophagy-inhibiting effects. 3BDO exhibits inhibitory activity against porcine coronaviruses. 3BDO increases the protein abundance of IFITM3, inhibits virus-cell membrane fusion, and blocks viral entry. 3BDO inhibits the entry of transmissible gastroenteritis virus, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, and porcine respiratory coronavirus into host cells. 3BDO can be used for research on porcine coronavirus infection.

Biological Activity

mTOR |
3BDO (20 μM; 19 h) potently inhibits TGEV infection in porcine intestinal organoid monolayers with an IC50 of 14.6 μM and a high selectivity index of 87.67, indicating an acceptable safety margin[1].
3BDO (15-60 μM; 18 h) inhibits TGEV infection in porcine intestinal organoid monolayers in vitro in a dose-dependent manner, reducing viral protein levels, viral titers, and viral fluorescence signal[1].
3BDO (60 μM) restricts TGEV infection in ST cells and porcine intestinal organoid monolayers by specifically targeting viral entry, with no effect on viral inactivation, attachment, replication, or release[1].
3BDO blocks TGEV entry in ST cells by specifically enhancing IFITM3 protein abundance, as knockdown of IFITM3 eliminates its antiviral activity[1].
3BDO blocks PRCV entry in ST cells and PEDV entry in PK-15 cells by enhancing IFITM3 protein abundance, as knockdown of IFITM3 eliminates its antiviral activity against both viruses[1].
In an autophagy induction model, 3BDO inhibits the Rapamycin (HY-10219)-induced increase in the number of MAP1LC3B puncta, the elevation of MAP1LC3B-II levels, and the reduction of SQSTM1 protein levels[2].

Protocol
Total protein is obtained from HUVECs by using of IP lysis buffer after treatment with rapamycin (10 μM), 3BDO (60 μM) or both for 6 h. After centrifuging at 4°C, the supernatant is collected and incubated with protein A/G agarose beads and TIA1 antibody or normal mouse IgG as a control at 4°C overnight. The beads are washed 3 times with IP lysis buffer and then eluted with 4×SDS loading buffer. Ser phosphorylation is detected by western blot assay with Ser phosphorylation antibody[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
HUVECs are isolated from umbilical cords and cultured in M199 medium with 20% (v/v) fetal bovine serum and 10 IU/mL fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) in a humidified incubator at 37°C with 5% CO2. Cells up to passage 10 are used for experiments. When HUVECs are grown to 80% confluency, HUVECs are treated with DMSO or 60 µM 3BDO for 24 h, then total RNA is extracted[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Male apoE-/- mice (8 weeks old) are used in this study. ApoE-/- mice are fed an atherogenic diet (containing 21% fat and 0.15% cholesterol). To avoid the potential confounding effects of variation among batches of diet, a single batch is reserved and used throughout the experiment. Mice at 20 weeks older are divided into 3 groups for treatment (n=8 mice/group) for 8 weeks: control (DMSO), low-dose 3BDO (50 mg/kg/d; 3BDO-L) and high-dose 3BDO (100 mg/kg/d; 3BDO-H). The body weight of mice is measured every week during 3BDO injection. Blood samples are taken from the inferior vena cava, and animals are killed by exsanguination[2].
