Product Data
Biological target:
MKC3946 is a potent IRE1α inhibitor, used for cancer research.
In vitro activity:
Cells were incubated with EtOH (50 mmol/L), CSE (20-40 μg/mL), or both (CSE+EtOH), and analyzed by immunoblotting, quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction, and cell death assays. Some cells were incubated with MKC-3946, an inhibitor of endoplasmic reticulum to nucleus signaling 1 (ERN1, also called IRE1) that blocks XBP1s formation. Incubation of AR42J or primary mouse or human acinar cells with MKC-3946 reduced expression of XBP1s, increased levels of CHOP, and induced cell death. Reference: Gastroenterology. 2017 Dec;153(6):1674-1686. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28847752/
In vivo activity:
The efficacy of MKC-3946 was tested in a mouse AD (aortic dissection) model. As shown in vitro, MKC-3946 could reduce the expression of XBP1s and protect against AD by suppressing XBP1s associated ROS production and apoptosis in VSMCs in vivo.
