1. Heptamidine

Heptamidine (SBi4211) is a potent Pentamidine-related inhibitor of the calcium-binding protein S100B (Kd=6.9 μM), selectively kills melanoma cells with S100B over those without S100B. Heptamidine is a useful tool for the investigation of Myotonic dystrophy (DM).

Description

Heptamidine (SBi4211) is a potent Pentamidine-related inhibitor of the calcium-binding protein S100B (Kd=6.9 μM), selectively kills melanoma cells with S100B over those without S100B[1]. Heptamidine is a useful tool for the investigation of Myotonic dystrophy (DM)[2].

IC50 & Target

Kd: 6.9 μM (calcium-binding protein S100B)[1]

In Vitro

Heptamidine is a Pentamidine-S100B complex, two molecules of pentamidine bind per monomer of S100B, which performs to be an inhibitor for S100B[1].
Heptamidine (20 μM) does not decrease CUG levels significantly when compares to Propamidine and Pentamidine, and exhibits cytotoxic at concentrations above 17.5 μM in HeLa cells expressing 960 CUG repeats[2].
Heptamidine rescues mis-splicing of minigene reporters in a HeLa cell DM1 model with an EC50 value of 15 μM[2].

In Vivo

Heptamidine (intraperitoneal injection; 20 or 30 mg/kg; 7 days) causes a dose-dependent reduction of exon 7a inclusion in HSALR mice, returning to wild type levels (6±1%) when at 20 mg/kg dose, the myotonia is reduced from grade 3 to grade 1 (occasional myotonic discharge) or grade 0 at both 20 or 30 mg/kg[2].

Animal Model: Homozygous HSALR transgenic mice in line 20b (FVB inbred background) with a Myotonic dystrophy (DM) mouse model[2]
Dosage: 20 or 30 mg/kg
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; 7 days; once daily
Result: Reversed splicing defects and rescues myotonia in a DM mouse model.

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.
