LMP2-IN-1
LMP2-IN-1 is an orally bioavailable, brain-permeable macrocyclic peptide epoxyketone, acts as a selective and irreversible inhibitor of LMP2 (IC50 = 87 nM). LMP2-IN-1 rapidly distributes to the brain and forms an irreversible LMP2:AR-01 adduct. LMP2-IN-1 improves memory function and rescues reactive astrocytes in 5xFAD mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

In Vitro
LMP2-IN-1 (compound AR-01) (0-500 nM; 24 h) dose-dependently inhibits LMP2 activity and forms LMP2:AR-01 adduct in murine microglial BV2 cells[1].
LMP2-IN-1 (compound 5) inhibits human 20S immunoproteasome LMP2 activity with an IC50 of 87 nM[2].
LMP2-IN-1 (10 μM; 120 min) shows high Caco2 cell permeability with an apparent permeability of 23.4 × 10^-6 cm/s and a low efflux ratio (ER) of 0.4[2].
LMP2-IN-1 (0.01-100 μM; 96 h) shows no cytotoxicity in normal human HMC3 microglia cells and ARPE19 retinal pigment epithelial cells up to 30 μM and 100 μM, respectively[2].
LMP2-IN-1 (1 mg/mL, 4-fold serial dilution) is negative in the AMES test using S. typhimurium TA98 and TA100 strains with or without S9 fraction[2].
LMP2-IN-1 (2 μM; 4 h) exhibits a human plasma protein unbound fraction (fu) of 0.45 ± 0.07 as determined by equilibrium dialysis[2].

Alzheimer’s Disease Modeling
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a progressive decline in cognitive functions and loss of specific types of neurons and synapses. Alzheimer's symptoms can be simulated in mice by injecting drugs (such as Aβ) or genetically modified.
