USP7-IN-18
USP7-IN-18 is a naphthalene derivative. USP7-IN-18 is a selective USP7 inhibitor (IC50 : 130.9 nM), with no or very weak inhibition of the other 8 DUBs including USP47. USP7-IN-18 specifically binds to the catalytic domain of USP7, blocking its deubiquitinase activity. USP7-IN-18 causes degradation of the oncogenic proteins MDM2 and DNMT1, and also degrades the novel target PCLAF. USP7-IN-18 activates the p53-p21 pathway. USP7-IN-18 exerts anti-tumor effects in colon cancer animal models and reshapes the tumor immune microenvironment. USP7-IN-18 achieves both direct cytotoxic and immune-synergistic anti-tumor actions.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
USP7-IN-18 (Compound X21) (1.95-2000 nM, 3 min) binds to the catalytic domain of USP7 with a KD value of 4.9 μM, as determined by SPR analysis[1].
USP7-IN-18 (0.25-1 μM, 24 h) acts as a novel USP7 inhibitor by directly inhibiting enzymatic activity and regulating downstream pathways, including the first-reported target PCLAF[1].
USP7-IN-18 (0.01-100 μM, 72 h) significantly inhibits proliferation of leukemia (RS4;11) and colon cancer (MC38/CT26.WT) cells[1].
USP7-IN-18 (2.5 μM, 0.5 h) exhibits high selectivity for USP7 over eight other deubiquitinases, including USP47 (the most homologous to USP7)[1].

-
Animal Model:MC38 tumor-bearing C57BL/6J female mice (8 weeks)[1].
-
Dosage:5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg
-
Administration:Daily intraperitoneal injection (i.p.), at the corresponding doses for 16 days.
-
Result:Demonstrated significant tumor growth inhibition (TGI = 58.2%) at 10 mg/kg on day 16, while showing weaker efficacy at 5 mg/kg, indicating dose-dependent antitumor activity.
Significantly reduced tumor mass in immunocompetent mice, confirming effective tumor growth suppression.
Caused transient body weight loss due to initial stress response, with subsequent recovery observed in later stages.
-
Animal Model:MC38 tumor-bearing BALB/c female mice (8 weeks)[1].
-
Dosage:10 mg/kg
-
Administration:Daily intraperitoneal injection (i.p.), at the corresponding doses for 16 days.
-
Result:Demonstrated 19.24% tumor growth inhibition (TGI) without statistical significance and caused no body weight changes in mice.
Exhibited significantly attenuated antitumor efficacy in immunodeficient mice, suggesting immune microenvironment-dependent therapeutic activity.
Demonstrated significantly increased proportions of CD8+ T cells and elevated CD8+/CD4+ ratios, while exhibiting upward trends in NK cell proportions with unchanged Tregs/MDSCs ratios, collectively indicating tumor immune microenvironment remodeling.

Protocols
-
Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.
-
Cell Viability Determination by MTT Colorimetric Assay
The following protocol uses the MTT colorimetric assay as a classic literature-established method for assessing cell viability/metabolic activity in cultured mammalian cells. MTT[3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] is reduced by metabolically active cells to a colored formazan product; the amount of formazan is quantified spectrophotometrically and provides an indirect measure of metabolically active viable cells. Importantly, MTT reduction reflects cellular oxidoreductase/metabolic activity rather than an absolute direct count of living cells, so changes in cellular metabolism can alter the signal independently of cell number.
