LIBX-A402 is a selective, ATP-dependent inhibitor of ACSL4 (hACSL4, IC50=0.33 μM, Kd=3.3 μM) and an inhibitor of ferroptosis. LIBX-A402 targets the fatty acid-binding pocket of ACSL4 and prevents cells from undergoing ferroptosis. LIBX-A402 can be used in the research of cancer and Parkinson's disease.

Description

LIBX-A402 is a selective, ATP-dependent inhibitor of ACSL4 (hACSL4, IC50=0.33 μM, Kd=3.3 μM) and an inhibitor of ferroptosis. LIBX-A402 targets the fatty acid-binding pocket of ACSL4 and prevents cells from undergoing ferroptosis. LIBX-A402 can be used in the research of cancer and Parkinson's disease[1].

In Vitro

LIBX-A402 potently protects MDA-MB-231 cells from RSL3-induced ferroptosis with an EC50 of 460 nM, and shows no cytotoxicity at concentrations up to 25 μM[1].
LIBX-A402 (2.5 μM; 4 h; co-incubated with Arachidonic acid (HY-109590) + iron for 48 h) significantly protects differentiated LUHMES cells against ferroptosis induced by Arachidonic acid + iron[1].
LIBX-A402 (2.5 μM; 4 h; co-incubated with Arachidonic acid+iron for 24 h) significantly reduces lipid peroxidation induced by Arachidonic acid+iron in differentiated LUHMES cells[1].

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

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: Differentiated LUHMES cells
Concentration: 2.5 μM (LIBX-A402); 20 μM (arachidonic acid); 20 μM (FeCl3-NTA)
Incubation Time: 4 h (pretreatment); 48 h (incubation with arachidonic acid + iron)
Result: Significantly protected LUHMES cells from arachidonic acid + iron-induced ferroptosis, with cell viability comparable to ACSL4 siRNA-treated cells.

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    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (17.05 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

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.
