NXPZ-2 is an orally active Keap1-Nrf2 protein–protein interaction (PPI) inhibitor with a Ki value of 95 nM, EC50 value of 120 and 170 nM. NXPZ-2 can dose-dependently ameliorate Aβ[1-42]-Induced cognitive dysfunction, improve brain tissue pathological changes in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) mouse by increasing neuron quantity and function. NXPZ-2 can inhibit oxidative stress by increasing Nrf2 expression levels and promoting its cytoplasm to nuclear translocation, which is helpful for Keap1-Nrf2 PPI inhibitors and AD associated disease research.

Description

NXPZ-2 is an orally active Keap1-Nrf2 protein–protein interaction (PPI) inhibitor with a Ki value of 95 nM, EC50 value of 120 and 170 nM. NXPZ-2 can dose-dependently ameliorate Aβ[1-42]-Induced cognitive dysfunction, improve brain tissue pathological changes in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) mouse by increasing neuron quantity and function. NXPZ-2 can inhibit oxidative stress by increasing Nrf2 expression levels and promoting its cytoplasm to nuclear translocation, which is helpful for Keap1-Nrf2 PPI inhibitors and AD associated disease research[1].

IC50 & Target

Ki: 95 nM (Keap 1); EC50: 120 and 170 nM (Keap 1) [1]

In Vitro

NXPZ-2 (0-200 μM, 7 days) has no obvious toxicity on primary cortical neuron[1].

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

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay[1]

Cell Line: primary cortical neuron
Concentration: 0, 1.6, 8, 40 and 200 μM
Incubation Time: 7 days
Result: Had no obvious toxicity on primary cortical neuron [1].
In Vivo

NXPZ-2 (Male ICR mice, 52.5/105/210 mg/kg, p.o., once daily for 7 days) improves AD mice learning and memorizing function including increased spontaneous alternation, increases number of active avoidance times, shortened escape latency, increased the time spent in the target quadrant and number of platform crossing[1].
NXPZ-2 (Male ICR mice, 52.5/105/210 mg/kg, p.o., once daily for 7 days) rescues the brain structure damage and lowers dead neuron numbers of AD mice with no obvious toxicity on mouse organs[1].
NXPZ-2 (Male ICR mice, 52.5/105/210 mg/kg, p.o., once daily for 7 days) alleviates oxidative stress by increasing Nrf2 expression levels, and promotes Nrf2’s cytoplasm to nuclear translocation, and improves cognitive dysfunction by elevating Nrf2 in both the central nervous system and peripheral blood[1].

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

Animal Model: Male ICR mice, AD model[1].
Dosage: 52.5 mg/kg, 105 mg/kg, 210 mg/kg.
Administration: P.o., once daily for 7 days.
Result: Showed statistically increased spontaneous alternation and no influence on basal motivation, displayed an increased number of active avoidance times, which improved the learning and memory ability of AD mice. Cell number and morphology in NPZX-2-treated groups were restored, dead neuron numbers of AD mice was lowered.
Increased serum Nrf2 level, displays more Nrf2 in the hippocampal and cortical nucleus and less expression level in the hippocampal and cortical cytoplasm. Increased Nrf2-ARE binding in both hippocampus and frontal cortex, dose-dependently restored SOD, GSH, and MDA levels, and decreased AD marker protein (p-Tau)[1].

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: 7.14 mg/mL (11.95 mM); Clear solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a clear solution of 7.14 mg/mL.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (71.4 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: 5 mg/mL (8.37 mM); Clear solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a clear solution of 5 mg/mL. 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 (50.0 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.
