KHS101 hydrochloride
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
KHS101 is a blood-brain barrier-penetrant anticancer agent that primarily functions by inhibiting HSPD1 (IC50 = 14.4 μM) and TACC3 across different cellular backgrounds. KHS101 promotes the aggregation of HSPD1 with client proteins, destabilizes TACC3, and reduces the levels of TACC3, Aurora A and PLK1. KHS101 induces autophagy, apoptosis, cell cycle exit and neuronal differentiation; it suppresses cancer cell growth, motility, EMT and stemness; it also impairs mitochondrial bioenergetics and glycolysis in glioblastoma cells. KHS101 can be used in research related to glioblastoma multiforme and breast cancer.

KHS101 (0-20 μM; 5 days) induces dose-dependent cytotoxicity in all 6 patient-derived GBM cell lines as well as U251/U87 cells, with IC50 values at 5 days of treatment as follows: 2.23 μM in GBM1 cells, 0.97 μM in GBM4 cells, 5.05 μM in GBM11 cells, 3.28 μM in GBM13 cells, 1.98 μM in GBM14 cells, and 1.87 μM in GBM20 cells[1].
Treatment with KHS101 (1-7.5 μM; 12 h) selectively induces concentration-dependent autophagy in patient-derived human glioblastoma (GBM) cell lines (GBM1, GBM4, GBM11, GBM13, GBM14, GBM20), whereas no observable effect is detected in non-cancerous NP1 neural progenitor cells[1].
KHS101 (7.5 μM; 48 h) selectively induces time-dependent apoptosis in patient-derived human GBM cell lines (GBM1, GBM11, GBM20), while exerting minimal effects on non-cancerous NP1 neural progenitor cells, and this apoptosis is independent of late-stage autophagy[1].
KHS101 (7.5 μM) selectively disrupts the metabolic phenotype of patient-derived human GBM cell lines and induces a significant hypoxic shift in metabolic activity, whereas acute treatment at 7.5 μM causes only minimal glycolytic changes in non-cancerous cell lines (NP1, NP2, NHAs)[1].
KHS101 (7.5 μM; 4-24 h) selectively impairs aerobic glycolysis and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle activity in patient-derived human GBM1 cells, reduces the incorporation of glucose-derived carbon into key metabolic intermediates, and decreases total cellular ATP levels by ≥ 50% after 24 hours; this agent exerts no such effects in non-cancerous NP1 neural progenitor cells[1].
KHS101 (7.5 μM; 1 h) selectively induces the aggregation of HSPD1 and key metabolic enzymes in patient-derived human GBM1 cells, whereas only minimal aggregation is observed in non-cancerous NP1 neural progenitor cells[1].
