ZLC491
Based on 1 Customer Validation
ZLC491 is an orally active PROTAC degrader that selectively targets CDK12/CDK13 and exhibits certain oral bioavailability. ZLC491 induces cereblon- and proteasome-dependent selective degradation of CDK12 and CDK13. ZLC491 inhibits the transcription and expression of long genes, and mainly acts on a subset of DNA damage response genes. ZLC491 inhibits the proliferation of various triple-negative breast cancer cells. ZLC491 can be used in research related to triple-negative breast cancer.

In Vitro
ZLC491 selectively inhibits the proliferation of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell lines MDA-MB-231, HCC38 and MDA-MB-436, with IC50 values of 0.62, 0.19 and 0.12 μM after 5 days of treatment, respectively. It exerts a synergistic effect when combined with Cisplatin (HY-17394) or Olaparib (HY-10162). Meanwhile, ZLC491 shows extremely low activity against non-cancer cell lines[1].
ZLC491 (0.01-3 μM; 4-15 h) degrades CDK12 and CDK13 in MDA-MB-231 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner, with a DC50 of 32 nM and 28 nM, respectively[1].
ZLC491 (0.1-0.5 μM; 48 h) dose-dependently reduces the protein levels of DDR-related proteins ATM, BRCA1 and RAD51 in MDA-MB-231 cells[1].
ZLC491 (60-300 nM; 12 h) potently and concentration-dependently inhibits the transcription of DDR genes in MDA-MB-231 cells, with no significant effect on the non-target gene ROR1[1].

Protocols
-
RNA extraction experimental
By lysing cells, releasing RNA, and removing impurities such as proteins and DNA, high-purity RNA products are finally obtained. The commonly used traditional method is the guanidine isothiocyanate/phenol/chloroform method (Trizol), which is suitable for a variety of animal materials including animal tissues, microorganisms, cultured cells, etc., and most plant materials.

Protocol for Pharmacokinetic Study
Pharmacokinetic studies quantify how an organism handles a drug over time through absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, and the core experimental readout is the concentration-time profile of parent drug and, when relevant, metabolites in biological matrices such as plasma, whole blood, urine, bile, or tissue. Pharmacokinetic analysis links dose, route, exposure, clearance, half-life, distribution, bioavailability, and systemic exposure to drug efficacy and toxicity hypotheses rather than measuring a signaling pathway directly. The literature links pharmacokinetics to drug-development phenotypes by showing that drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics influence compound progression, exposure-response interpretation, safety margins, dosing strategy, and failure risk during discovery and development. DMPK science contributes to compound optimization by integrating physicochemical properties, in vitro metabolism, transporter behavior, in vivo exposure, and pharmacodynamic contex

Breast Cancer Modeling
Breast cancer is a heterogeneous cancer, and it has been distinguished into four subtypes: luminal A, luminal B, HER2-positive and basal-like. Molecular mutations, epigenetic alterations, hormone exposure and immune microenvironment are related to the progression of breast cancer.
-
Genotoxicity/Mutagenicity Study
The bacterial reverse mutation assay detects point mutations that restore amino-acid prototrophy in auxotrophic Salmonella typhimurium or Escherichia coli tester strains; after exposure to a test article, mutagenic activity is read out as an increased number of revertant colonies on minimal agar compared with the vehicle control. The assay uses tester strains with different mutation targets so that base-substitution and frameshift mutagens can be detected, and testing is performed with and without exogenous mammalian metabolic activation because some chemicals require biotransformation to become mutagenic.
-
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.
