Description

Bt354 is an orally active STAT3 inhibitor with IC50 values of 4.6 μM (DU145), 6.5 μM (MDA-MB-435) and 7.2 μM (MDA-MB-231), respectively. Bt354 induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, and downregulates epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related genes. Bt354 exhibits anti-angiogenic and anti-inflammatory activities, attenuates the polarization of M1 microglia and A1 astrocytes, suppresses inflammasome-related signaling pathways, and alleviates mechanical hyperalgesia and thermal hyperalgesia. Bt354 can be used in research related to glioblastoma multiforme, triple-negative breast cancer, prostate cancer and neuropathic pain[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Bt354 (0.1-100 μM; 24-72 h) exhibits concentration- and time-dependent antiproliferative activity against U87 MG, GBM8401 and T98G glioblastoma cells, with IC50 values of 9.96 μM, 15.18 μM and 3.39 μM, respectively, after 24 h of incubation[1].
Bt354 (0.01-5 μM; 48 h) induces apoptosis in U87 MG glioblastoma cells in a concentration-dependent manner, and a significant increase in the proportion of apoptotic cells is observed at concentrations of 0.1 μM and above after 48 h of incubation[1].
Bt354 (0.1-5 μM; 24 h) induces apoptosis in U87 MG glioblastoma cells by upregulating the expression of cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved PARP, and reducing the activity of pro-caspase-3; a significant effect is observed at concentrations of 0.1 μM and above after 24 h of incubation[1].
Bt354 (0.1-5 μM; 24 h) inhibits epithelial-mesenchymal transition in U87 MG glioblastoma cells by upregulating E-cadherin expression and downregulating the expressions of vimentin, matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), ZEB1 and FOXM1; after 24 h of incubation, significant effects are observed at concentrations of 0.1 μM and above (the effective concentrations for E-cadherin and ZEB1 are 1 μM and above)[1].
Bt354 (0.01-5 μM; 6-18 h) inhibits the migration of U87 MG glioblastoma cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. A significant migration-inhibiting effect is observed at concentrations of 0.01 μM and above, and the inhibitory effect reaches the maximum level after 18 h of incubation[1].
Bt354 (0.1-5 μM; 24 h) alters the polymerization state of F-actin in U87 MG glioblastoma cells, converting filamentous F-actin into a globular form near the nucleus; it inhibits cell migration after 24 h of incubation at concentrations of 0.1 μM and above[1].
Bt354 (0.1-5 μM; 24 h) regulates epithelial-mesenchymal transition in U87 MG glioblastoma cells by upregulating E-cadherin expression and downregulating vimentin expression, and this effect occurs at concentrations of 0.1 μM or higher after 24 h of incubation[1].
Bt354 (0.1-5 μM; 24 h) reduces the production of MMP-2 in U87 MG glioblastoma cells in a concentration-dependent manner in vitro, and a significant reduction is observed at concentrations of 0.1 μM and above after 24 h of incubation[1].
Bt354 (24 h) potently inhibits STAT3-dependent luciferase activity in DU145, MDA-MB-435 and MDA-MB-231 cells, with IC50 values of 4.6 μM, 6.5 μM and 7.2 μM, respectively[3].
Bt354 (24-72 h) inhibits the proliferation of DU145, MDA-MB-435 and MDA-MB-231 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner, with its IC50 values ranging from 0.07 μM to 35 μM depending on the cell line and incubation time[3].
Bt354 specifically inhibits the phosphorylation of STAT3 at the Tyr705 site (without affecting phosphorylation at the Ser727 site or the upstream JAK2/Src signaling pathway), and downregulates the expression of STAT3-dependent pro-proliferative and anti-apoptotic proteins in MDA-MB-435 and MDA-MB-231 cells[3].
Bt354 (0.1-5 μM; 12 h) inhibits the nuclear translocation of STAT3 in MDA-MB-435 and MDA-MB-231 cells in a dose-dependent manner, which is evidenced by the reduced nuclear STAT3 levels after treatment with 1 μM or 5 μM Bt354 for 12 h[3].
Bt354 (0.5 μM; 24 h) induces G2/M cell cycle arrest in MDA-MB-435 and MDA-MB-231 cells[3].
Bt354 (48 h) induces late-stage apoptosis in MDA-MB-435 and MDA-MB-231 cells in a dose-dependent manner, increasing the proportion of late-stage apoptotic cells to 26.0% and 29.5%, respectively[3].
Bt354 (1 μM) inhibits the migration of MDA-MB-435 and MDA-MB-231 cells in a dose-dependent manner, with a significant inhibitory effect observed at the concentration of 1 μM in MDA-MB-435 cells[3].

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.
