TF-PPAO
TF-PPAO is a blood-brain barrier-penetrant mitochondrial calcium uptake inducer (human Kd = 2.82 μM). TF-PPAO binds the MCUB transmembrane pocket and disrupts MCUB-MCU binding, thereby relieving MCUB-mediated restriction, activating pyruvate dehydrogenase activity, and inducing mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative DNA damage. TF-PPAO acts as a radiosensitizer, inhibits tumor growth, and exhibits intracranial tumor accumulation ability, with no detectable systemic toxicity. TF-PPAO can be used for research on glioblastoma.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
TF-PPAO (serial concentrations; 24 h) inhibits GBM cell viability and has higher IC50 values in HA1800 astrocytes and HUVECs[1].
TF-PPAO (0-8 Gy IR; 14 days) radiosensitizes HG11 and HG23 GBM cells in clonogenic assays, with SER values of 1.30 and 1.35, respectively[1].
TF-PPAO (20 μM; 7 days) restricts the growth of GBO-4 and GBO-6 and enhances IR-mediated growth inhibition[1].
TF-PPAO (40 μM; 24 h) reduces the FRET efficiency of MCUB-eGFP/MCU-mCherry in HG11 cells[1].
TF-PPAO (10-30 μM) dose-dependently disrupts MCUB-MCU co-immunoprecipitation in HG11 and HG23 cells[1].

Cell Line:GBM cells, HA1800 astrocytes, and HUVECs
-
Concentration:1, 10, 100, 1000 μM
-
Incubation Time:24 h
-
Result:Inhibited GBM cell viability.
HA1800 astrocytes and HUVECs showed higher IC50 values than GBM cells.
In Vivo
TF-PPAO (60 mg/kg; i.p.; 5 days per week) suppresses intracranial PDX tumor growth and prolongs survival and enhances radiosensitivity when combined with IR[1].

Animal Model:BALB/c nude (female, 4 weeks old)[1]
-
Dosage:60 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.p.; 5 days per week
-
Result:Suppressed intracranial HG11 tumor growth by bioluminescence imaging and prolonged overall survival.
Combination with IR produced the greatest tumor reduction and longest survival.
In intracranial tumors, PDH activity increased and lactate concentration was reduced.
Reduced p-PDHA1 by immunohistochemistry and increased 8-OHdG.
IR combination produced the greatest reduction in Ki-67 and the greatest increase in cleaved caspase-3.
