IBT21
IBT21 is an endoplasmic reticulum stress inhibitor that binds to unfolded or misfolded proteins and prevents their aggregation. IBT21 inhibits UPR activation of the ATF6, IRE1 and PERK branches under ER stress, with IC50 values of 0.24 μM, 0.33 μM, and 0.46 μM, respectively. IBT21 protects cells from ER stress-induced death and mutant prion protein (protein toxin)-induced growth inhibition. IBT21 exhibits chemical chaperone activity distinct from UPR modulators, does not affect protein translation, moderately reduces DTT (HY-15917)-induced ER stress, and fails to inhibit the heat shock response. IBT21 is useful for research related to prion diseases.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
IBT21 (0.5-5 μM; overnight) inhibits UPR activation in HEK293A cells with an IC50 of 0.61 μM[1].
IBT21 is a more potent inhibitor of Tm-induced UPR activation in HEK293A and Hap1 cells, with an IC50 of 0.95 μM[1].
IBT21 inhibits the three branches of the UPR in HEK293A cells in a dose-dependent manner, with IC50 values of 0.24 μM for ATF6, 0.33 μM for IRE1, and 0.46 μM for PERK[1].
IBT21 (10 μM; overnight) inhibits the induction of downstream target genes of all three branches of the UPR in HEK293A cells, supporting its role as a chemical chaperone[1].
IBT21 (10 μM; overnight) reduces the levels of Tm-induced SDS-resistant HMW BiP-containing complexes in HEK293A cells and prevents the aggregation of 125 proteins induced by Tm, including ER client proteins and protein homeostasis-related proteins[1].
IBT21 (10 μM; overnight) directly inhibits intracellular protein aggregation and acts as a chemical chaperone in in vitro assays using human insulin at a concentration 100-fold lower than that of 4PBA[1].
IBT21 (1-10 μM; 3 h) directly binds a large number of unfolded or misfolded proteins in HEK293A cells under ER stress, and significantly overlaps with the proteins whose aggregation it prevents, supporting its direct chemical chaperone mechanism[1].
IBT21 (1-10 μM; 48 h) protects HEK293A cells against ER stress-induced cell death by restoring cell proliferation and viability in a dose-dependent manner[1].
IBT21 (5 μM; 0-72 h) protects HEK293T cells against cytotoxicity induced by mutant prion protein overexpression and restores cell growth and viability[1].
