HJ03 is a blood-brain barrier-permeable, orally active DNA damage and ferroptosis inducer. HJ03 triggers ferroptosis by increasing intracellular ROS, Fe2+ accumulation and lipid peroxidation. HJ03 induces DNA adducts and interstrand crosslinks, blocks DNA replication and transcription, arrests cells at the G2/M phase and induces apoptosis. HJ03 can be used in the research of glioblastoma multiforme and colorectal cancer.

Description

HJ03 is a blood-brain barrier-permeable, orally active DNA damage and ferroptosis inducer. HJ03 triggers ferroptosis by increasing intracellular ROS, Fe2+ accumulation and lipid peroxidation. HJ03 induces DNA adducts and interstrand crosslinks, blocks DNA replication and transcription, arrests cells at the G2/M phase and induces apoptosis. HJ03 can be used in the research of glioblastoma multiforme and colorectal cancer[1].

In Vitro

HJ03 (24-72 h) potently inhibits the viability of U251, U87, T98G, HCT116, MSH6-deficient U251 and MSH6-deficient T98G cells, with IC50 values ranging from 0.8914 μM to 61.65 μM after incubation for 24, 48, and 72 h. Its activity is independent of MGMT and MSH6 status[1].
HJ03 (0.25-8 μM; 14 days) inhibits colony formation of U251, U87 and T98G cells in a dose-dependent manner[1].
HJ03 (4-16 μM; 72 h) inhibits the viability of U87 spheroids and induces cell death, with 16 μM causing nearly complete spheroid death[1].
HJ03 (1-5 μM; 48-72 h) induces G2/M phase arrest in U251 and U87 cells, and regulates cell cycle-related proteins (p21, p-CDK1, CDK1, cyclin B1) in U251, U87 and T98G cells[1].
HJ03 (1-40 μM; 48-72 h) induces apoptosis in U251, U87 and T98G cells in a dose-dependent manner via cleavage of caspase-3/7/9 and PARP[1].
HJ03 (1-80 μM; 48-72 h) induces ferroptosis in U251, U87 and T98G cells through mechanisms involving upregulation of ROS, Fe2+ and MDA levels, downregulation of SLC7A11, as well as upregulation of p53 or ATF3[1].
HJ03 (0.4-50 μM; 15-72 h) induces DNA damage in U251, U87 and T98G cells through activating the ATM-Chk2 DNA damage response pathway; it also induces dose-dependent DNA cross-linking and alkylation in purified linearized pBR322 DNA[1].

In Vivo

HJ03 (2-20 mg/kg; p.o.; 5 consecutive days per week; 4 weeks) significantly prolongs survival in mice bearing orthotopic glioblastoma tumors[1].
HJ03 (2-132 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; 7 days) at doses up to 66 mg/kg is well-tolerated by healthy mice, with no significant weight loss or hematological toxicity, while the 132 mg/kg dose induces mild hematological toxicity[1].

Administration: p.o.; 5 consecutive days per week; 4 weeks
Result: Significantly prolonged mouse survival at 20 mg/kg compared to vehicle control and TMZ (HY-17364) groups.
Showed 20 mg/kg dose was significantly more effective than 2 mg/kg dose at prolonging survival.
Made treated mice regain lost body weight more quickly than TMZ-treated mice following treatment cessation.

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.
