SMU-3k
SMU-3k is a STING activator and PD-L1 inhibitor, with a PD-L1 IC50 of 106 nM, a KD of 386 nM for human PD-L1, and a KD of 352 nM for murine PD-L1. SMU-3k activates the STING pathway, induces phosphorylation of TBK1 and IRF3, and promotes the expression of IFN-β, IL-6 and CXCL10. SMU-3k blocks the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction, reduces PD-L1 levels and induces PD-L1 internalization. Through dual immunomodulation, SMU-3k exerts synergistic tumor growth inhibitory effects in a mouse colon cancer model. SMU-3k can be used for the research of colon cancer.

SMU-3k (20 μM; 24 h) potently activates STING signaling in THP1-Blue-ISG cells with an EC50 of 9.35 μM, achieving a 23-fold activation at 20 μM[1].
SMU-3k (1 μM; 1 h) potently inhibits the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction with an IC50 of 106 nM, achieving 82% inhibition at 1 μM[1].
SMU-3k (10-50 μM) induces concentration-dependent upregulation of IFN-β, IL-6, and CXCL10 mRNA levels in THP1-Blue-ISG cells, with the strongest induction observed at 50 μM[1].
SMU-3k (11-33 μM; 24 h) induces concentration-dependent secretion of IFN-β in THP-1 cells[1].
SMU-3k (10-50 μM; 4 h) induces concentration-dependent phosphorylation of TBK1 and IRF3 in THP1-Blue-ISG cells, confirming activation of the STING signaling pathway[1].
SMU-3k (0.19-50 μM; 48 h) alleviates PD-L1-mediated immunosuppression and restores T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity toward HepG2 cells with an IC50 of 10.6 μM[1].
SMU-3k (1-10 μM) reduces PD-L1 protein levels in MB231 cells in a concentration-dependent manner[1].
SMU-3k (10 μM; 3-24 h) induces time-dependent internalization of PD-L1 from the plasma membrane to intracellular compartments in PD-L1-GFP-transfected 293T cells, with nearly complete internalization after 24 h at 10 μM[1].
