UM4118 is a potent copper-selective non-genotoxic copper ionophore that induces cuproptosis in acute myeloid leukemia cells. UM4118 exhibits stronger activity against SF3B1G12C mutant acute myeloid leukemia cells. UM4118 transports extracellular copper into cells, elevates intracellular and mitochondrial copper levels, and triggers lipoylated DLAT aggregation, proteotoxic stress, iron-sulfur cluster protein depletion, reduced lipoylated protein levels, and maximal mitochondrial respiratory damage. UM4118 cytotoxicity can be enhanced by supplementation with extracellular copper, abolished by copper chelation, and shows synthetic lethal effects in the absence of iron-sulfur cluster biosynthesis/transport genes. UM4118 can be used for the study of acute myeloid leukemia.

Description

UM4118 is a potent copper-selective non-genotoxic copper ionophore that induces cuproptosis in acute myeloid leukemia cells. UM4118 exhibits stronger activity against SF3B1G12C mutant acute myeloid leukemia cells. UM4118 transports extracellular copper into cells, elevates intracellular and mitochondrial copper levels, and triggers lipoylated DLAT aggregation, proteotoxic stress, iron-sulfur cluster protein depletion, reduced lipoylated protein levels, and maximal mitochondrial respiratory damage. UM4118 cytotoxicity can be enhanced by supplementation with extracellular copper, abolished by copper chelation, and shows synthetic lethal effects in the absence of iron-sulfur cluster biosynthesis/transport genes. UM4118 can be used for the study of acute myeloid leukemia[1].

In Vitro

UM4118 (40 μM) binds copper and zinc in a cell-free system[1].
UM4118 (2 μM; 3 h) specifically increases intracellular copper levels in OCI-AML5 cells by importing copper from the extracellular media[1].
UM4118 (40 nM) shows potent and selective antiproliferative activity against OCI‑AML5 cells (IC50 = 40 nM) and is further potentiated in ABCB7‑downregulated OCI‑AML5 cells[1].
UM4118 (150 nM; 24 h) impairs maximal mitochondrial respiration capacity in OCI-AML5 cells, indicating reliance on mitochondrial respiration for its activity[1].
UM4118 (300 nM; 16 h) induces DLAT aggregation in OCI-AML5 cells, a hallmark of cuproptosis, with enhanced aggregation observed upon copper supplementation[1].
UM4118 (2 μM; 3 h) increases intramitochondrial copper levels in human embryonic kidney 293 cells[1].
UM4118 (110 nM; 14 day) has synthetic lethal interactions with knockdown of glycolysis enzymes, ISC biosynthesis genes, or ABCB7 in EKO OCI-AML5 cells, while knockdown of TCA cycle or lipoylation enzymes rescues cells from UM4118-induced cytotoxicity[1].
UM4118 acts synergistically with Pladienolide B (HY-16399) in OCI-AML5 cells[1].
UM4118 (20 nM; 48 h) reduces clonogenic potential of K562 cells, with a significantly stronger effect in SF3B1K700E mutant cells than in SF3B1 WT cells[1].

Immunofluorescence[1]

Cell Line: OCI-AML5 acute myeloid leukemia cells
Concentration: 300 nM; 1 μM (copper supplement)
Incubation Time: 16 h
Result: Induced DLAT aggregation, with total DLAT fluorescence intensity increasing to ~1.2 (normalized to cell number) without copper and ~2.4 with copper, versus ~0.6 and ~0.8 in DMSO controls, respectively.
Had its induced DLAT aggregation further exacerbated by copper supplementation.

Cell Proliferation Assay[1]

Cell Line: isogenic K562 acute myeloid leukemia cells (SF3B1 WT vs. SF3B1 K700E mutant)
Concentration: 20 nM
Incubation Time: 48 h
Result: Reduced colony formation by a fold change of 28.1 in SF3B1 WT K562 cells and 98 in SF3B1 K700E mutant K562 cells.

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.
