Nrf2 activator-23
Nrf2 activator-23 is an orally active Keap1 binder and Nrf2 activator, with KD values of 28.68 nM and 54.55 nM for Keap1 and its Kelch domain, respectively. Nrf2 activator-23 disrupts the Keap1-Nrf2 interaction, reduces ubiquitination and degradation of Nrf2, and activates the Nrf2 signaling pathway. Nrf2 activator-23 inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclast formation, bone resorptive activity, ROS production, and activation of the MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways, while downregulating the expression of osteoclast-specific genes and proteins. Nrf2 activator-23 attenuates bone loss and reduces osteoclast formation in vivo without affecting osteoblast differentiation and mineralization. Nrf2 activator-23 can be used for the research of osteoporosis.

Biological Activity
Nrf2 activator-23 (compound 5c) (1 μM; 4-7 d) inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation in RAW264.7 cells, with an IC50 of 0.499 μM after 7 days of treatment[1].
Nrf2 activator-23 (0.5-2 μM; 7 d) dose-dependently disrupts the formation of F-actin rings, reduces osteoclast volume, and decreases the number of nuclei per osteoclast in RANKL-stimulated bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) after 7 days of treatment[1].
Nrf2 activator-23 (0.5-2 μM; 7 d) inhibits RANKL-stimulated bone resorption by BMMs in a dose-dependent manner, and achieves nearly complete inhibition at the concentration of 2 μM after 7 days of treatment[1].
Nrf2 activator-23 (0.5-2 μM; 7 d) dose-dependently downregulates the mRNA expression levels of key genes (C-Fos, MMP-9, TRAP, NFATc1, CTSK, DC-STAMP) associated with osteoclast differentiation and function in RANKL-stimulated BMMs[1].
Nrf2 activator-23 (0.5-2 μM; 4 d) dose-dependently downregulates the protein expression of key markers for osteoclast differentiation and function (NFATc1, MMP-9, C-Fos, CTSK) in RANKL-stimulated bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs)[1].
Nrf2 activator-23 (0.5-2 μM; 48 h) inhibits RANKL-induced intracellular and mitochondrial ROS production in bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) in a dose-dependent manner, with a treatment duration of 48 h[1].
Nrf2 activator-23 (1 μM; 48 h) reduces the ubiquitination level of Nrf2 in BMMs and inhibits its proteasomal degradation[1].
Nrf2 activator-23 (1 μM; 6 h) inhibits the activation of MAPK (p38, ERK, JNK) and NF-κB (p65, IκBα) signaling pathways in RANKL-induced BMMs after 6 h of pretreatment[1].

Animal Model:C57BL/6J (7-week-old female, ovariectomized)[1]
-
Dosage:10 mg/kg
-
Administration:p.o.; every other day; 8 weeks
-
Result:Increased bone volume/total bone volume (BV/TV), trabecular number (Tb.N), and trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), while decreasing trabecular spacing (Tb.Sp) compared to OVX controls.
Prevented the decrease in bone surface (BS) caused by ovariectomy.
Markedly reduced the increase in osteoclast surface/bone surface (Oc.S/BS) ratio induced by OVX.
Promoted gene expression of Nfe2l2 and Cat.
Showed no obvious toxicity, with no differences in body weight or organ histology (heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney).
