NERx 329
Based on 1 Customer Validation
NERx 329 is a replication protein A (RPA) inhibitor with an IC50 of 4.9 μM. NERx 329 blocks the interaction between RPA and single-stranded DNA, and induces functional RPA depletion, loss of single-stranded DNA gap protection, chromosome fragmentation and cell death. NERx 329 inhibits the DNA damage response signaling pathway, exhibits broad single-agent anticancer activity, and enhances the activity of DNA-damaging agents. NERx 329 can be used in research related to brca1-deficient breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and brca1-deficient ovarian cancer.

Biological Activity
NERx 329 (Compound 43) exhibits significantly enhanced relative cellular uptake in H460 non-small cell lung cancer cells[1].
NERx-329 (4.3-7.2 μM; 5 d) inhibits the proliferation of A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner, and its antiproliferative effect is enhanced when combined with Cisplatin (HY-17394)[2].
NERx-329 (30 μM; 2 h) slows the replication fork speed in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells, but does not alter the replication fork speed in BRCA1-deficient triple-negative breast cancer cells MDA-MB-436[2].
NERx-329 (30 μM; 1 h) impairs replication fork restart in A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells and MDA-MB-436 BRCA1-deficient triple-negative breast cancer cells[2].
NERx-329 (2-5 μM; 7-10 d) inhibits the proliferation of BRCA1-deficient triple-negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-436. Combined use with Olaparib (HY-10162) induces cell death, and repeated administration maintains its antiproliferative activity[2].
NERx-329 (30 μM; 3 h) combined with Olaparib depletes RPA protection in MDA-MB-436 BRCA1-deficient triple-negative breast cancer cells, thereby triggering MRE11-dependent degradation of PARPi-induced single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) gaps[2].
NERx-329 (30 μM; 2 h) combined with Olaparib increases the formation of double-stranded DNA breaks in MDA-MB-436 BRCA1-deficient triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells[2].
NERx-329 (5-10 μM; 3 d) combined with Olaparib induces extensive chromosome shattering in MDA-MB-436 BRCA1-deficient triple-negative breast cancer cells, increasing the proportion of shattered chromosomes to approximately 19%[2].
NERx-329 (2-3 μM; 5 days) combined with the PARP1-specific inhibitor Saruparib (HY-132167) induces cell death in MDA-MB-436 BRCA1-deficient triple-negative breast cancer cells, suppresses proliferation recovery of UWB1.289 BRCA1-deficient ovarian cancer cells, and enhances antiproliferative efficacy in BRCA1-complemented UWB1.289 ovarian cancer cells[2].
NERx-329 (3-6 μM; 48-120 h) induces dose-dependent G1-phase and S-G2-M-phase arrest as well as mitotic escape in MDA-MB-436 BRCA1-deficient triple-negative breast cancer cells and A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells, and no additional cell cycle effects occur when combined with PARP inhibitors[2].

Cell Line:A549 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells
-
Concentration:4.3 μM; 7.2 μM; 4.3 μM combined with 10 μM Cisplatin
-
Incubation Time:5 days
-
Result:Caused a dose-dependent decrease in cellular proliferation.
Reduced proliferation to a level comparable to treatment with 7.2 μM NERx-329 alone when combined with 10 μM cisplatin.
-
Cell Line:MDA-MB-436 BRCA1-deficient TNBC cells
-
Concentration:2 μM; 2 μM combined with 1 μM Olaparib; 2.5 μM initial dose with 5 μM second dose; 5 μM initial dose with 5 μM second dose
-
Incubation Time:7 days; 10 days
-
Result:Inhibited proliferation within 24 h as a single agent, with confluence stabilizing for 4 days before increasing; blocked this recovery and reduced confluence when administered as a second dose.
Resulted in no measurable growth and a reduction in confluence over 7 days when combined with olaparib, indicative of cell death.

-
Concentration:3 μM; 3 μM combined with 3 nM Saruparib (MDA-MB-436); 2 μM; 2 μM combined with 50 nM Saruparib (UWB1.289); 2 μM; 2 μM combined with 25 μM Saruparib (BRCA1-complemented UWB1.289)
-
Incubation Time:5 days
-
Result:Resulted in no measurable growth and increased Cytotox Red uptake indicative of cell death when combined with saruparib in MDA-MB-436 cells.
Prevented proliferation recovery seen with single-agent NERx-329 when combined with saruparib in UWB1.289 cells.
Produced greater antiproliferative efficacy than either single agent when combined with saruparib in BRCA1-complemented UWB1.289 cells.

Cell Line:MDA-MB-436 BRCA1-deficient TNBC cells, A549 NSCLC cells
-
Concentration:3 μM; 3 μM combined with 1 μM Olaparib (flow cytometry); 3 μM; 6 μM; 3 μM combined with 3 nM Saruparib; 6 μM combined with 3 nM Saruparib (FUCCI assays)
-
Incubation Time:48 h (flow cytometry); up to 120 h (FUCCI assays)
-
Result:Showed minimal cell cycle changes as a single agent in flow cytometry; left changes driven by olaparib alone unaltered when combined with olaparib.
Induced a biphasic cell cycle effect in FUCCI assays: initial modest increase in S-G2-M phase, followed by large accumulation in G1 phase, with dose-dependent delays in G1, G1/S, and S-G2-M phases, and increased mitotic bypass; triggered similar G1 accumulation in A549 FUCCI cells.
