UCM05
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
UCM05 (G28UCM) is a fatty acid synthase (FASN) and filamentous temperature-sensitive protein Z (Ftsz) inhibitor. UCM05 inhibits fatty acid synthesis, viral replication, and Gram-positive bacterial growth. UCM05 binds to FtsZ GTP-binding sites, inhibits GTPase activity, and disrupts Z-ring localization. UCM05 can be used for the research of HSV-1/2 infection, HIV-1 infection, and Gram-positive bacterial infections[1][2][3].

UCM05 (5 μM; 24 h) reduces HSV-2 replication in D407 cells by targeting host fatty acid synthesis[1].
UCM05 binds to Bacillus subtilis FtsZ monomers with micromolar affinity, disrupts normal FtsZ assembly, and weakly inhibits FtsZ GTPase activity by 20%[3].
UCM05 inhibits cell division in Bacillus subtilis by inducing filamentation and disrupting normal FtsZ-GFP ring formation into punctuate foci and distorted structures[3].

Animal Model:BALB/c (4-5 week-old female, HSV-2 infected)[1]
-
Dosage:15 mg/kg/d; 30 mg/kg/d
-
Administration:i.p.; daily; 6 days
-
Result:Modestly extended survival but did not significantly improve survival rates at 15 mg/kg/d.
Provided full survival protection (100% survival by 12 dpi) at 30 mg/kg/d, compared to complete mortality in the untreated HSV-2-infected group by 8 dpi.
Significantly reduced clinical scores of acute vaginal injuries at both doses.
Notably alleviated vulvar erosion and hindlimb paralysis at 30 mg/kg/d compared to the infected control group.
Reduced necrotic areas, neutrophils, inflammatory debris, and viral inclusion bodies in vaginal tissues at 6 dpi at both doses.
Reduced viral titers in vaginal lavage at 4 dpi in a concentration-dependent manner.
Significantly reduced HSV-2 VP16 viral DNA copy numbers in vaginal tissues (P < 0.001) at 6 dpi at both doses compared to the infected control group.
Significantly reduced serum levels of Tnf-α and Il-6 at 6 dpi at both doses.

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.38 mM); Clear solution
