SSI-4 is an orally active stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD1) inhibitor with an EC50 of 1.9 nM against mouse SCD1. SSI-4 blocks the conversion of saturated fatty acids to monounsaturated fatty acids, reducing the production of oleic acid and palmitoleic acid. SSI-4 induces lipid peroxidation, endoplasmic reticulum stress, DNA damage and activates apoptotic mechanisms. SSI-4 inhibits mTORC1 activity, suppresses B cell proliferation and antibody production, and induces autophagy. SSI-4 is applicable to research on cancers such as acute myeloid leukemia and renal cell carcinoma, as well as influenza infections.

In Vitro

SSI-4 (1 μM; 21 d) inhibits the proliferation of human acute myeloid leukemia (AmL) cell lines MOLM-13, MV-4-11 and OCI-AmL3, with differential activity observed across these cell lines[1].
SSI-4 (0.01-10 μM; 72 h) induces dose-dependent cell death in sensitive human acute myeloid leukemia cell lines K562, MOLM-13, and MV-4-11, but exerts no such effect in resistant human acute myeloid leukemia cell lines OCI-AmL3, THP-1, HL-60, Kasumi-1, and TF-1[1].
SSI-4 (1-10 μM; 4-7 d) induces cell death in primary samples from a subset of human AmL patients, and its sensitivity is independent of specific driver mutations[1].
SSI-4 (1 μM; 24 h) inhibits de novo monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) biosynthesis and increases the accumulation of saturated fatty acid (SFA) in the sensitive human acute myeloid leukemia cell lines MOLM-13 and MV-4-11, but exerts minimal effects on fatty acid biosynthesis in the drug-resistant OCI-AmL3 cells[1].
SSI-4 (1 μM; 24 h) significantly increases the SFA/MUFA ratio in sensitive human acute myeloid leukemia cell lines K562, MOLM-13 and MV-4-11, but exerts no such effect on drug-resistant human acute myeloid leukemia cell lines OCI-AmL3, THP-1 and HL-60[1].
SSI-4 (1 μM; 24 h) induces lipid peroxidation in sensitive human acute myeloid leukemia (AmL) cell lines K562, MOLM-13 and MV-4-11, but exerts no such effect in drug-resistant human AmL cell lines OCI-AmL3, THP-1, HL-60 and Kasumi-1[1].
SSI-4 (1 μM; 72 h) induces early apoptosis in the human AmL cell line MOLM-13[1].

SSI-4 (1 μM; 72 h) induces apoptosis in the sensitive human acute myeloid leukemia (AmL) cell lines MOLM-13 and MV-4-11, and this effect is partially reversed by pan-caspase inhibition[1].
SSI-4 (1 μM; 24 h) induces mild DNA damage in the human AmL cell line MV-4-11 and enhances palmitic acid- or doxorubicin-induced DNA damage[1].
SSI-4 (0-1000 nM; 72 h) acts synergistically with doxorubicin to reduce the viability of the human acute myeloid leukemia cell line MV-4-11[1].

SSI-4 (48 h) blocks de novo glucose synthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids in activated mouse B cells[2].
SSI-4 (1 μM; 3 d) dose-dependently inhibits the proliferation of mouse B cells activated by LPS/IL-4 and reduces cell viability at 72 h, while exogenous oleic acid reverses these effects[2].
SSI-4 (3 d) inhibits the proliferation of mouse B cells activated by anti-IgM/anti-CD40/IL-4 or CpG/IL-4/IL-5, and this effect is reversible by exogenous oleic acid[2].
SSI-4 (3 d) inhibits IgG1 class switching in mouse B cells activated by LPS/IL-4, and this effect is reversed by exogenous oleic acid[2].
SSI-4 inhibits the proliferation of activated human B cells, and this effect can be reversed by exogenous oleic acid[2].
SSI-4 reduces the expression of CD80 and CD86 on activated human B cells, and this effect can be reversed by exogenous oleic acid[2].
SSI-4 impairs the metabolic adaptability of activated mouse B cells by simultaneously reducing the levels of oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis[2].
SSI-4 induces excessive autophagosome formation in activated mouse B cells[2].
SSI-4 induces autophagy, inhibits mTORC1 activity (decreased p-S6 level), and downregulates AID expression in activated mouse B cells, while all these effects are reversed by exogenous oleic acid[2].
SSI-4 induces endoplasmic reticulum stress in activated mouse B cells, and this effect is reversed by exogenous oleic acid[2].
SSI-4 potently blocks the conversion of saturated fatty acids to monounsaturated fatty acids in mouse liver microsomes, with an EC50 of 1.9 nM[3].
SSI-4 (0.001-0.009 μM; 72 h) potently inhibits the proliferation of ccRCC cell lines A498, ACHN, Caki1 and Caki2, with IC50 values ranging from 0.001 to 0.009 μM[4].
SSI-4 (0.001-0.009 μM) upregulates BiP and CHOP, specific markers of the stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1)-dependent unfolded protein response, in A498 and ACHN cells, and this effect is reversed by oleic acid supplementation[4].
SSI-4 (10-100 nM) exhibits high kinome selectivity, with no off-target kinase binding at 10 nM, and only binds to CDKL2 at 100 nM[4].

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.
