THX6 is an hClpP activator with an EC50 of 1.18 μM. THX6 improves off-target profile with no affinity for hD2R and only weak affinity for hD3R (Ki = 51.1 µM) in HEK293 cells. THX6 shows good cytotoxicity in ONC201-resistant cells with an IC50 of 0.13 μM. THX6 changes the levels of fatty acids (PUFAs, MUFAs, and SFAs) in DIPG cells. THX6 decreases the level of proteins involved in oxidative phosphorylation, biogenesis, and mitophagy proteins, thereby resulting in a global collapse of mitochondrial integrity and function. THX6 can be used for diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma research.

Description

THX6 is an hClpP activator with an EC50 of 1.18 μM. THX6 improves off-target profile with no affinity for hD2R and only weak affinity for hD3R (Ki = 51.1 µM) in HEK293 cells. THX6 shows good cytotoxicity in ONC201-resistant cells with an IC50 of 0.13 μM. THX6 changes the levels of fatty acids (PUFAs, MUFAs, and SFAs) in DIPG cells. THX6 decreases the level of proteins involved in oxidative phosphorylation, biogenesis, and mitophagy proteins, thereby resulting in a global collapse of mitochondrial integrity and function. THX6 can be used for diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma research[1].

IC50 & Target[1]

hClpP

1.18 μM (EC50)

In Vitro

THX6 (compound 36) stabilizes hClpP in Caco-2 cells, demonstrating potent and effective target engagement and stabilization[1].
THX6 increases the proteolytic activity of hClpP with an IC50 value of 1.18 μM[1].
THX6 shows superior selectivity by demonstrating negligible binding to hD2R (Ki > 100 μM) and hD3R (Ki = 26.7μM) in competitive binding assays using HEK293 cells[1].
THX6 (0.19-200 μM, 72 h) exhibits cytotoxicity in the micromolar range in SU-DIPG-36 (mutant H3.1K27M) SU-DIPG-50 (mutant H3.3K27M), HSJD-007 (mutant H3.3K27M) , SF8628 (mutant H3.3K27M) and SU-DIPG-VI (mutant H3.3K27M) with IC50 values of 47.7, > 100 0.46, 468 and 10.89 μM, respectively[1].
THX6 (1.18 μM, 24 h) acts as an hClpXP agonist by promoting hClpX dissociation and degradation, suppresses mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, biogenesis, and mitophagy in the SU DIPG-36CellLine in SU-DIPG-36 cells[1].
THX6 (24 h) selectively reduces the levels of highly unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs/MUFAs) in SH-SY5Y and SU-DIPG-50 cell lines, but not in SU-DIPG-36 cells[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: SU-DIPG-36 cells
Concentration: 1.18 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Strongly decreased the level of the hClpX chaperone subunit and did not appear to affect the amount of hClpP Observed a strong decline of SDHA and ATP5A (nuclear-encoded subunits of complexes II andV).
Observed a strong decline of COI (mitochondrial (mt)DNA encoded subunit of complex IV).
Significantly diminished the level of NRF1 and, more markedly TFAM (those protein involve in mitochondrial biogenesis).
Observed a decline of TOMM20 protein, which indicating a decrease mitochondrial mass.
Observed a reduction of the Parkin (an mitophagy markers).

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.66 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.66 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

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.
