    LYN-1604 purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: J Transl Med. 2025 Oct 21;23(1):1144.  [Abstract]

    C2C12 cells treated with or without HI-TOPK-032 (2 μM) and LYN-1604 (2 μM) were induced to differentiation for 3 days. After that, cells were harvested and subjected to western blot to detect and quantify the protein levels of MyHC and autophagy related genes.

    C2C12 cells treated with or without HI-TOPK-032 (2 μM) and LYN-1604 (2 μM) were induced to differentiation for 3 days. Then cells were fixed and stained for MyHC (green) and DAPI (blue) to detect and quantify the differentiation index and fusion index of differentiating C2C12 cells.

    In Vitro

    LYN-1604 is a potential ULK1 agonist (enzymatic activity=195.7% at 100 nM and IC50=1.66 μM against MDA-MB-231 cells) [1].
    LYN-1604 binds to wild-type ULK1 with a binding affinity in the nanomole range (KD=291.4 nM) [1].
    LYN-1604 (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 μM) induces cell death via the ULK complex in MDA-MB-231 cells[1].
    LYN-1604 (0.5-2 μM, 24 hours) induces remarkable up-regulation of Beclin-1 and degradation of p62, as well as transformation of LC3-I to LC3-II in MDA-MB-231 cells[1].
    LYN-1604 induces ATG5-dependent autophagy via the ULK complex[1].
    LYN-1604 can also increase cleavage of caspase3 and induce apoptosis[1].

    Cell Viability Assay[1]

    Cell Line: MDA-MB-231 cells
    Concentration: 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 μM
    Incubation Time:
    Result: Induced cell death. Autophagy ratio was increased in a dose-dependent manner.

    Western Blot Analysis[1]

    Cell Line: MDA-MB-231 cells
    Concentration: 0, 0.5, 1, and 2 μM
    Incubation Time: 24 hours
    Result: Induced remarkable up-regulation of Beclin-1 and degradation of p62, as well as transformation of LC3-I to LC3-II.
    In Vivo

    LYN-1604 (low dose, 25 mg/kg; median dose, 50 mg/kg; high dose, 100 mg/kg; intragastric administration once a day for 14 days) inhibits the growth of xenograft TNBC by targeting ULK1-modulated cell death[1].

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

    Animal Model: 24 female nude mice (BALB/c, 6-8 weeks, 20-22 g)[1]
    Dosage: Low dose, 25 mg/kg; median dose, 50 mg/kg; high dose, 100 mg/kg
    Administration: Intragastric administration; once a day for 14 days
    Result: Significantly inhibited the growth of xenograft MDA-MB-231 cells. The body weights of mice were stable. By the end of the experiment, the liver and spleen weight indexes of mice were slightly increased in parts of the groups, while the kidney weight index was not affected in all dose groups.

    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.
