Description

AP-4-139B is a blood-brain barrier-permeable HSP70 inhibitor with a IC50 of 180 nM against hHSP70. AP-4-139B binds directly to HSP70 and inhibits its ATPase activity. AP-4-139B promotes Autophagy by increasing the phosphorylation of Beclin-1. AP-4-139B exerts antitumor effects in preclinical models of colorectal cancer and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma[1][2].

IC50 & Target[1]

HSP70

180 nM (IC50)

In Vitro

AP-4-139B potently inhibits the ATPase activity of purified hHSP70, with an IC50 of 180 nM[1].
AP-4-139B (500 nM; 24 h) impairs mitochondrial function (reduced basal OCR and ATP production) in 1205Lu melanoma cells and HT-29 colorectal cancer cells, but exerts no significant effects on IMR90 human fibroblasts or CCD 841 CoN normal colonic epithelial cells[1].
AP-4-139B (48 h) exhibits potent cytotoxicity against colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines, with an IC50 of 1.5-3 μM[1].
AP-4-139B (1-5 μM; 24 h) induces autophagy in TCC-Pan2, PK-8, MIA PaCa-2 and PANC-1 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells, which is evidenced by increased phosphorylation level of Beclin-1 and lipidation of LC3B[2].
AP-4-139B (0.19-15 μM; 72 h) acts synergistically with chloroquine, an autophagy inhibitor, to reduce the viability of TCC-Pan2, PK-8, MIA PaCa-2 and PANC-1 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells[2].

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.99 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.99 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, 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.
