GNE-140 racemate
Based on 9 publication(s) in Google Scholar
GNE-140 racemate is a racemic mixture of (R)-GNE-140 (HY-100742A) and (S)-GNE-140 (HY-100742B), and also a tautomer of GNE-140 (HY-118241). GNE-140 racemate is an orally active lactate dehydrogenase inhibitor, with an IC50 of 3 nM against human LDHA and an IC50 of 5 nM against LDHB. GNE-140 racemate reduces the phosphorylation level and total protein expression of p38 MAPK, and inhibits EGF-induced AKT phosphorylation. GNE-140 racemate decreases lactate production, regulates glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway and nucleotide biosynthesis, increases extracellular pH, inhibits cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and induces caspase-3 activation and ROS accumulation. GNE-140 racemate can be used in research related to breast cancer, cystic fibrosis and pancreatic cancer.

GNE-140 (200 μM; 30 min pre-incubation prior to 30 min EGF stimulation) racemate reduces EGF-induced phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and AKT, and lowers total p38 MAPK levels, in pII ER- breast cancer cells without altering EGF-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2, Src, or NF-κB[1].

GNE-140 (72 h) racemate inhibits proliferation of 13% (4/30) of tested human pancreatic cancer cell lines with IC50 values below 5 μM, with sensitive lines relying more on glycolysis (lower baseline OCR) than resistant lines that rely on oxidative phosphorylation[3].

GNE-140 (2 μM; 1-5 days) racemate induces caspase-3 activation starting at 1-2 days and cell death starting at 3 days in MIA PaCa-2 human pancreatic cancer cells treated with 2 μM, and sustained inhibition for more than 2 days is required to drive irreversible cell death[3].
