iGP-1
Based on 1 Customer Validation
iGP-1 is a cell-permeable, selective mixed inhibitor of mitochondrial sn-glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (mGPDH), with IC50s of 6.3 μM and 13.6 μM for rat mGPDH activity and H2O2 production, respectively. iGP-1 specifically blocks the mitochondrial component of the glycerophosphate shuttle without affecting cytosolic GPDH. iGP-1 not only inhibits cell proliferation and glutaminolysis, and enhances glycolysis, but also significantly alters key cellular physiological processes such as apoptosis, ROS production, HIF-1α stability and mitochondrial membrane potential. iGP-1 remains active in neutrophil cultures under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions, and serves as an ideal probe for glycerol-3-phosphate metabolic mechanisms. iGP-1 has been applied to studies on prostate cancer and related metabolic pathways.

Biological Activity
|
HIF-1α |
iGP-1 (0.1-80 μM) potently and selectively inhibits mGPDH-mediated H2O2 production in isolated rat skeletal muscle mitochondria, with an IC50 of 8 μM, and exhibits only weak off-target effects at concentrations above 10 μM[1].
iGP-1 (100 μM) can readily cross cell membranes and enter the cytoplasmic matrix and acidic compartments of STHdhQ7 cells[1].
iGP-1 (100-400 μM; 96 h) inhibits the proliferation of pyruvate-starved PC-3 cells by approximately 40% in low-pyruvate medium; in high-pyruvate medium, this inhibitory effect weakens to approximately 20% at a concentration of 300 μM, with increased glycolytic flux, reduced glutamate production, and no changes in the conversion rates of pyruvate, glutamine, alanine or serine[2].
iGP-1 (10-1000 μM) concentration-dependently reduces the mitochondrial membrane potential of human primary peripheral blood neutrophils under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions[3].
iGP-1 (1-1000 μM; 4 h) reduces HIF-1α protein expression in hypoxic human primary peripheral blood neutrophils in a concentration-dependent manner[3].
iGP-1 (10-1000 μM; 1 h) reduces mitochondrial ROS levels in primary human peripheral blood neutrophils after 1 hour of treatment in a concentration-dependent manner under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions[3].
iGP-1 (1-1000 μM; 20 h) induces apoptosis in human primary peripheral blood neutrophils in a concentration-dependent manner, and its pro-apoptotic effect is stronger after 20 h of treatment under hypoxic conditions[3].
iGP-1 (100-1000 μM; 4 h) concentration-dependently inhibits myeloperoxidase release (degranulation) in human primary peripheral blood neutrophils under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions, following 4 hours of pre-stimulation treatment[3].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.08 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
