Description

INCA-6 (Triptycene-1,4-quinone) is a cell-permeable NFAT inhibitor. INCA-6 specifically blocks targeting of NFAT(P) substrate to the  calcineurin (CN) phosphatase site and is an effective inhibitor of CN-NFAT signaling[1][2][3].

In Vitro

INCA-6 (5 μM; for 24-hour) prevents transient outward K+ current (Ito) downregulation in 3-Hz cells[1].
Pre-treatment of BV-2 cells with INCA-6 (10 μM) significantly inhibits ATP-induced CXCL2 expression in BV-2 cells. INCA-6 also inhibits ATP-induced CXCL2 expression in rat primary microglia[2]
INCA-6 (5 μM) reduces SERCA2 transcript levels as well as protein expression, in the absence or in the presence of  thapsigargin (TG)[3].
INCA-6 (1.0 and 2.5 μM; 24 hours ) treatment significantly decreases both VEGF and serum-induced human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRMEC) proliferation, but does not affect baseline proliferation[4].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Proliferation Assay[4]

Cell Line: Human retinal microvascular endothelial cells
Concentration: 0.5, 1.0, or 2.5 μM
Incubation Time: 24 hours
Result: Significantly inhibited VEGF-induced proliferation at 1.0 and 2.5 μM concentrations.
In Vivo

INCA-6 (5.0, or 25.0 μM) treatment significantly reduces pathologic neovascularization in oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR)[4].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Rats bearing OIR model[4]
Dosage: 2.5, 5.0, or 25.0 μM
Administration: Intravitreal injection on days 14(0) and 14(3)
Result: Decreased the severity of OIR in a dose dependent manner. Significant inhibition was seen at 5.0 and 25.0 μM concentrations.

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.
