Cat. No.: HY-103019 Purity: 99.89%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Enitociclib ((+)-BAY-1251152; (+)-VIP152) is a selective CDK9 inhibitor (IC50=3 nM) that inhibits transcriptional elongation by blocking Ser2/Ser5 phosphorylation of RNA polymerase II. Enitociclib specifically depletes key short-lived proteins such as c-MYC, MCL-1 and induces tumor cell apoptosis. Enitociclib also interferes with the production of enhancer RNAs (eRNA) and enhancer-promoter interactions, and downregulates oncogene expression at the epigenetic level. Enitociclib exerts synergistic effects with agents including Bortezomib (HY-10227), Lenalidomide (HY-A0003), Pomalidomide (HY-10984), Venetoclax (HY-15531) and Paclitaxel (HY-B0015), and even reverses paclitaxel resistance. Enitociclib serves as a vital research tool for various malignancies such as double-hit diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, multiple myeloma and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

In Vitro

Enitociclib effectively reduces the viability of a panel of human lymphoma cell lines, including the DLBCL cell lines SU-DHL-4 (IC50=43 nmol/L) and SU-DHL-10 (IC50=74 nmol/L)[1].
Enitociclib (0.25-1 μM; 4 h) induces transcriptomic changes dominated by significant downregulation in SU-DHL-4 and SU-DHL-10 DLBCL cell lines, including marked downregulation of novel targets PHF23 and TP53RK, as well as enrichment of the RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription pathway[1].
Enitociclib (0.6-800 nM; 6-48 h) potently inhibits the viability of primary mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) cells, MCL cell lines, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cell lines, and induces caspase-3-dependent apoptosis in these cells, with an IC50 of 11.5-172.3 nM[2].
Enitociclib (12.5-200 nM; 96 h) significantly reduces the cell viability of multiple myeloma cell lines MM1.S, NCI-H929, OPM-2 and U266B1, with an IC50 ranging from 36 to 78 nM after 96 hours of treatment[3].
Enitociclib (0.5-1 μM; 1-24 h) inhibits phosphorylation of RNA Pol II CTD at Ser2/Ser5 sites in a dose- and time-dependent manner, induces apoptosis, and suppresses oncoprotein expression in NCI-H929 and OPM-2 multiple myeloma cell lines[3].
Enitociclib (25-500 nM; combined with paclitaxel) synergistically inhibits the growth of paclitaxel-resistant L3.6pl pancreatic cancer cells[4].

In Vivo

Enitociclib (5-15 mg/kg; i.v.; single dose/once weekly; 3 weeks) exerts dose-dependent antitumor efficacy in SU-DHL-10 DLBCL xenografts, with 15 mg/kg once weekly dosing inducing complete tumor regression, and all tested doses driving pharmacodynamic effects including reduced p-Ser2, depleted MYC/MCL1 expression, and activated apoptosis[1].
Enitociclib (10 mg/kg; i.v.; twice a week) potently inhibits tumor growth and prolongs survival in JeKo-1 MCL cell line-derived xenografts in NSG mice (p < 0.0001 for both endpoints) without significant toxicity[2].
Enitociclib (15 mg/kg; i.v.; once per week) significantly reduces JJN-3 multiple myeloma tumor volumes in SCID/Beige mice, and a single dose (15 mg/kg; i.v.) transiently suppresses oncogene transcription and induces tumor apoptosis[3].

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.
