DTHIB
Based on 7 publication(s) in Google Scholar
DTHIB is a direct and selective heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) inhibitor with a Kd of 160 nM for DTHIB binding to the HSF1 DNA binding domain (DBD). DTHIB inhibits HSF1 cancer gene signature (HSF1 CaSig) and selectively stimulates degradation of nuclear HSF1. DTHIB has potently anticancer activities and can be used for prostate cancer research.

Biological Activity
Kd: 160 nM (DTHIB binding to the HSF1 DNA binding domain)[1]
DTHIB (5 μM; 48 hours) treatment of C4-2 cells induces cell cycle arrest, with accumulation in the G1 phase. DTHIB stimulates C4-2 PCa cell entry into senescence[1].
DTHIB (0.5-5 μM; 48 hours; C4-2 prostate cancer) treatment reduces steady-state protein abundance of the molecular chaperones P23, HSP27, HSP70, and HSP90-all bona fide HSF1 targets in C4-2 cells[1].
DTHIB dose-dependently reduces the clonal expansion of both C4-2 and PC-3 PCa cells with EC50 values of 1.2 μM and 3.0 μM, respectively[1].
In mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), DTHIB (0.5-10 μM) attenuates the robust acute heat shock induction of the HSP70 and HSP25 molecular chaperones in a dose-dependent manner. DTHIB attenuates the heat shock response by reducing the steady-state transcript abundance of multiple molecular chaperones[1].

Cancer suppresses mitochondrial chaperone activity in macrophages to drive immune evasion. [Abstract]2025 Oct 29. PMID: 41162642

Representative histogram (left) and quantitative analysis (right) of TRAP1 in BMDMs treated with YUMM1.7 TCM for 24 h in the presence or absence of CC, anti-TIM4 or DTHIB (5 μM) (n = 3). The results showed that DTHIB (a selective HSF1 inhibitor) abrogated the restoration of TRAP1 expression mediated by AMPK inhibition or TIM4 pathway blockade.

Label-free assay (ATPlite) in OVCAR-3 cells treated for 72h with increasing amount of DTHIB (1.25-5 μM). ATP amount was expressed as percentage of viability.
DTHIB purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Cell Death Dis. 2023 Aug 19;14(8):535. [Abstract]
RT-qPCR was performed to evaluate the expression of miR-145-5p in OVCAR-3 cells pre-treated with DTHIB (an HSF-1 inhibitor) for 72 h and incubated with CDDP for the last 24 h. The experiment was conducted at 42 °C. The DTHIB pretreatment of OVCAR-3 cells prevented the rescue of miR-145-5p expression achieved by CDDP at 42 °C, as previously documented.
