iMQT_020
Based on 1 Customer Validation
iMQT_020 is a selective allosteric SLC1A5_var inhibitor. iMQT_020 disrupts the trimeric assembly of SLC1A5_var, causing metabolic crisis in cancer cells and selectively suppressing their growth. iMQT_020 reduces glutamine anaplerosis and oxidative phosphorylation, resulting in a broad disruption of cancer metabolism. iMQT_020 reduces GSH levels and increases cellular ROS and mitochondrial ROS. iMQT_020 induces apoptosis and ferroptosis. iMQT_020 can epigenetically upregulate PD-L1 expression. iMQT_020 can be used for the study of pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, and colon cancer.

Biological Activity
iMQT_020 shows the strongest inhibitory effect on mitochondrial glutamine uptake (IC50 = 6.156 μM) at a concentration of 10 μM[1].
iMQT_020 (0-100 μM) directly binds to SLC1A5_var WT protein (Kd = 4.473 μM), but does not bind to FIL/AAA mutants[1].
iMQT_020 (4 μM) significantly reduces the CD signal of the SLC1A5_var WT protein, indicating a structural change[1].
iMQT_020 (10 μM) reduces glutamine-derived TCA cycle metabolites (such as glutamate, αKG, succinic acid, etc.) and downstream products (such as glutathione, proline) in MIA PaCa-2 cells[1].
iMQT_020 (10 μM, 24 h) reduces GSH levels in MIA PaCa-2 cells and increases cellular ROS and mitochondrial ROS[1].
iMQT_020 (10 μM, 24 h) reduces OCR and ECAR in SLC1A5_var WT-overexpressing MIA PaCa-2 cells, but did not affect FIL/AAA mutants[1].
iMQT_020 (10 μM, 24 h) alters mitochondrial morphology in MIA PaCa-2 cells (reducing fragmentation) and decreases mitochondrial membrane potential (reduced TMRE staining)[1].
iMQT_020 (48 h) selectively inhibits the viability of cancer cells (IC50 5-40 μM) without affecting normal cells[1].
iMQT_020 (10 μM, 24 h) upregulates PD-L1 mRNA and protein expression in human PDAC cell lines (such as SU.86.86, SW1990) and mouse carcinoma cell lines (KPC, LLC, MC-38)[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
iMQT_020 (75 mg/kg, i.p., once daily for 35 days) inhibits tumor growth in a mouse orthotopic transplantation model of MIA PaCa-2 cells[1].
iMQT_020 (75 mg/kg, i.p., once daily for 35 days) inhibits the growth of xenografted tumors of NCI-H1299 human lung cancer cells and COLO 205 human colon cancer cells in mice[1].
iMQT_020 (25 mg/kg, i.p., once daily for 21 days), when used in combination with an anti-PD-L1 antibody (aPD-L1), synergistically inhibits the growth of allogeneic tumors formed from KPC, LLC, or MC-38 cells in mice[1].

Administration:I.p., once daily for 35 days
-
Result:Tumor volume and weight were significantly reduced.
The number of cleaved caspase-3 (apoptosis marker) and 4-HNE (lipid peroxidation marker) positive cells increased, while the number of Cyclin D1 and Ki-67 (proliferation marker) positive cells decreased.
-
Animal Model:Athymic NCr-nu/nu nude mice were injected orally into the pancreas with 5.0 × 105 luciferase-labeled MIA PaCa-2 cells to form an in situ tumor model that simulates the pancreatic cancer microenvironment[1].
-
Dosage:75 mg/kg
-
Administration:I.p., once daily for 35 days
-
Result:Tumor growth is inhibited, and tumor weight is reduced.
-
Animal Model:Athymic NCr-nu/nu nude mice were subcutaneously injected with NCI-H1299 human lung cancer cells or COLO 205 human colon cancer cells to form a xenograft model[1].
-
Dosage:75 mg/kg
-
Administration:I.p., once daily for 35 days
-
Result:The tumor volume and weight were significantly reduced, and immunohistochemistry showed increased apoptosis and ferroptosis markers.
-
Animal Model:C57BL/6N mice were subcutaneously injected with KPC (mouse pancreatic cancer cells), LLC (Lewis lung cancer cells), or MC-38 (mouse colon cancer cells) to establish an allogeneic transplantation model[1].
-
Dosage:25 mg/kg
-
Administration:I.p., once daily for 21 days
-
Result:Combined with aPD-L1, it significantly reduced tumor volume and weight.
PD-L1 expression was increased in tumor tissue, along with increased CD8+ T cell infiltration, elevated IFN-γ and Granzyme B positive cells, while PD-1+ T cells, Treg cells, MDSCs, and TAMs were decreased.
Ki-67 (proliferation) was decreased, and cleaved caspase-3 (apoptosis) was increased.
