GCN2iB acetate is an ATP-competitive, selective GCN2 inhibitor with an IC50 of 2.4 nM. GCN2iB acetate inhibits the activation of the GCN2 pathway and upregulates GPX4. GCN2iB acetate enhances the anticancer effect of ASNase against acute lymphoblastic leukemia. GCN2iB acetate increases left ventricular ejection fraction, while reducing fasting blood glucose and myocardial fibrosis. GCN2iB acetate can be used in research related to acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia and diabetic cardiomyopathy.

    In Vitro

    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.

    Cell Proliferation Assay[1]

    In Vivo

    GCN2iB (10 mg/kg; twice daily; for 7 consecutive days) acetate acts synergistically with 1,000 U/kg ASNase to potently inhibit the growth of CCRF-CEM acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) xenografts in mice, with a statistically significant interaction (P = 0.0007)[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].

    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.
