GCN2 2.4 nM (IC50) |
GCN2iB (1 μmol/L) acetate potently inhibits recombinant GCN2 with an IC50 of 2.4 nmol/L, and exhibits high kinase selectivity, showing only extremely low off-target inhibitory activity in a screening panel containing 468 kinases[1].
GCN2iB (10-9-10-5 M; 72 h) acetate enhances the antiproliferative effect of ASNase in GCN2-WT MEF cells, but shows no such effect in GCN2-KO MEF cells, confirming its inhibitory activity targeting GCN2[1].
GCN2iB (1 μmol/L; 72 h) acetate sensitizes CCRF-CEM, MV-4-11 and SU.86.86 cells to the antiproliferative effect induced by ASNase[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

GCN2iB (10 mg/kg; twice daily; 3 days per week; for 28 consecutive days) acetate acts synergistically with 1,000 U/kg ASNase to improve the survival rate of mice with disseminated MOLT-3 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)[1].
GCN2iB (3 mg/kg; i.p.; once every other day; for 6 consecutive weeks) acetate improves cardiac systolic function in diabetic mice induced by high-fat diet combined with Streptozotocin (HY-13753), increases left ventricular ejection fraction by 34.7%, and simultaneously reduces fasting blood glucose, myocardial lipid accumulation, oxidative stress and fibrosis[2].
GCN2iB (3 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; once every 2 days; for 6 consecutive weeks) acetate improves cardiac systolic function in db/db mice, increases left ventricular ejection fraction by 14.5%, while reducing fasting blood glucose, decreasing myocardial lipid accumulation and alleviating oxidative stress[2].
