Description

INI-43 is an inhibitor of Kpnβ1, interfering with the nuclear localization of Kpnβ1 and known Kpnβ1 cargo proteins, NFAT, NFκB, AP-1, and NFY. INI-43 can inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells, cause G2-M cell cycle arrest in cancer cells, and induce the intrinsic apoptosis pathway[1][2][3].

In Vitro

INI-43 (5 μM, 2h) pretreatment n HeLa and SiHa cell lines of cervical cancer can effectively reduce the nuclear accumulation and activity of NFκB, resulting in decreased expression of cyclin D1, c-Myc and XIAP, and impaired DNA repair ability. Make cells more sensitive to Cisplatin[2].
INI-43 (10, 15 μmol/L, 1.5, 3h) interferes with the entry of Kpnβ1, NFAT, p65 and NFY into the nucleus and induces apoptosis in HeLa cells. The IC50 value of INI-43 against HeLa cells is 9.3 μmol/L[3].
INI-43 (5, 10 μmol/L, 5 days) has different sensitivity to cancer cell lines (cervical and esophageal cancer) and non-cancer lines (DMB and FG0), and INI-43 can kill cancer cells and has no effect on non-cancer cells[3].

Western Blot Analysis[3]

Cell Line: HeLa cells
Concentration: 10, 15 μmol/L
Incubation Time: 1.5, 3h
Result: Prevented NFY from entering the nucleus.
Cytochrome C levels in mitochondria decreased, activating endogenous apoptotic pathways, and caspase-3/7 activity significantly increased.

Western Blot Analysis[2]

Cell Line: HeLa and SiHa cells
Concentration: 5 μM
Incubation Time: 2h
Result: Has a synergistic effect with Cisplatin, can inhibit Kpnβ1, increase the stability of p53, reduce the nuclear localization of NFκB and its target expression in SiHa cells after Cisplatin treatment, and enhance the DNA damage after Cisplatin treatment.

Immunofluorescence[3]

Cell Line: HeLa cells
Concentration: 10 μmol/L
Incubation Time: 1.5, 3h
Result: Prevented p65 from entering the nucleus.
In Vivo

INI-43 (50 mg/kg, intrabitoneal injection, once every 2-3 days, for 3 to 4 weeks) can inhibit tumor growth in mouse tumor xenotransplantation model [3].

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

In Vivo:

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.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.49 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.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.49 mM); Suspended solution

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

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.
