Synonyms: Coptisin
Coptisine is an orally active and brain-penetrant alkaloid found in Coptis chinensis. Coptisine is a reversible, uncompetitive IDO inhibitor with a Ki of 5.8 μM and an IC50 of 6.3 μM. Coptisine suppresses neuroinflammation, reduces Aβ plaque burden and shows neuroprotective activity. Coptisine shows anti-inflammation activity by blocking NF-κB, MAPK, and PI3K/Akt activation. Coptisine inhibits cancer cells proliferation, induces DNA damage, G2/M phase cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, ROS production and mitochondrial dysfunction. Coptisine inhibits Rho/ROCK pathway activation, reduces arrhythmia, limits cardiac injury marker release, reduces infarct size, and preserves cardiac function in rat myocardial ischemia/reperfusion models. Coptisine downregulates HMGCR and upregulates LDLR and CYP7A1 to modulate cholesterol metabolism, reduces abnormal serum lipid levels, and promotes fecal bile acid excretion. Coptisine can be used for the research of cancer, hypercholesterolemia, Alzheimer’s disease, inflammatory disorders and cardiovascular disease .

PROTAC EZH2 Degrader-44 (compound 60) is a highly efficient PROTAC degrader targeting the EZH2-PRC2 complex. By recruiting the CRBN E3 ligase and relying on the proteasome system, PROTAC EZH2 Degrader-44 simultaneously induces the degradation of core components EZH2, SUZ12 and EED, thereby significantly reducing the levels of H3K27me3 and CARM1. PROTAC EZH2 Degrader-44 exerts antiproliferative effects through a dual mechanism: on the one hand, it triggers mitochondrial dysfunction leading to decreased membrane potential; on the other hand, it strongly promotes apoptosis by regulating Bcl-2 family proteins (upregulating Bax, Caspase-3 and PARP, and downregulating Bcl-2). PROTAC EZH2 Degrader-44 exhibits only extremely low cytotoxicity in human normal mammary epithelial, liver and kidney cells, showing a favorable safety window. PROTAC EZH2 Degrader-44 is an ideal tool molecule for exploring the mechanisms of targeted therapy for triple-negative breast cancer .

Glutamine is an important metabolic fuel that helps rapidly proliferating cells meet the increased demand for ATP, biosynthetic precursors, and reducing agents. Glutamine Metabolism pathway involves the initial deamination of glutamine by glutaminase(GLS), yielding glutamate and ammonia. Glutamate is converted to the TCA cycle intermediate α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) by either glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) or by the alanine or aspartate transaminases (TAs), to produce both ATP and anabolic carbons for the synthesis of amino acids, nucleotides and lipids. During periods of hypoxia or mitochondrial dysfunction, α-KG can be converted to citrate in a reductive carboxylation reaction catalyzed by IDH2. The newly formed citrate exits the mitochondria where it is used to synthesize fatty acids and amino acids and produce the reducing agent, NADPH.

Cancer cells display an altered metabolic circuitry that is directly regulated by oncogenic mutations and loss of tumor suppressors. Mounting evidence indicates that altered glutamine metabolism in cancer cells has critical roles in supporting macromolecule biosynthesis, regulating signaling pathways, and maintaining redox homeostasis, all of which contribute to cancer cell proliferation and survival. Thus, intervention in glutamine metabolic processes could provide novel approaches to improve cancer treatment.

MCE owns a unique collection of 1,827 compounds targeting the mainly proteins and enzymes involved in glutamine metabolism pathway. Glutamine Metabolism compound library is a useful tool for intervention in glutamine metabolic processes.
