Description

LV-320 is a potent and uncompetitive ATG4B inhibitor with an IC50 of 24.5 µM and a Kd of 16 µM. LV-320 inhibits ATG4B enzymatic activity, blocks autophagic flux in cells, and is stable, non-toxic and active in vivo[1].

IC50 & Target

IC50: 24.5 µM (ATG4B); Kd: 16 μM (ATG4B)[1]

In Vitro

LV-320 (0-120 µM; SKBR3, MCF7, JIMT1, and MDA-MB-231 cells) treatment results in a dose-dependent increase in endogenous LC3B-II and protein p62 levels in all four cell lines[1].
LV-320 (120 µM; 48 hours; MDA-MB-231 cells) treatment results in an increase in LC3B-II, indicating that LV-320 blocks autophagic flux[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: SKBR3, MCF7, JIMT1, and MDA-MB-231 cells
Concentration: 0 µM, 25 µM, 50 µM, 75 µM, 100 µM, or 120 µM
Incubation Time:
Result: Resulted in a dose-dependent increase in endogenous LC3B-II and protein p62 levels in all four cell lines.

Cell Autophagy Assay[1]

Cell Line: MDA-MB-231 cells
Concentration: 120 µM
Incubation Time: 48 hours
Result: Blocked autophagic flux.
In Vivo

LV-320 (100-200 mg/kg; oral gavage; three times over two days; GFP-LC3 mice) treatment results in a terminal blood level of 169 µM and a liver level of 104 µM. The expression of GFP-LC3 puncta is significantly greater accumulation in LV-320 treated animals compared to controls. LC3B-II protein is also increased in LV-320-treated animals. The treatment do not cause significant toxicity in mice at either dose[1].

Animal Model: GFP-LC3 mice (females, 9-14 weeks)[1]
Dosage: 100 mg/kg or 200 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage; three times over two days (Pharmacokinetic study)
Result: Terminal blood levels were 169 µM and liver levels were 104 µM. LC3B-II protein level was also increased.

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

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.25 mg/mL (4.33 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (22.5 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.25 mg/mL (4.33 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (22.5 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Help & FAQs
  • 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.
