Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

PACMA 31 is an orally bioavailable, selective inhibitor (IC50 = 10 μM) of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), an endoplasmic reticulum protein that regulates oxidative protein folding by catalyzing the breakage and reformation of disulfide bonds. PDI is upregulated in ovarian, and several other cancers. PACMA 31 dose dependently inhibits proliferation of OVCAR-8 in culture and in a tumor xenograft model.

Product Data
Biological target:
PACMA 31 is an irreversible, orally active protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) inhibitor with an IC50 of 10 μM.
In vitro activity:
Results reveal that PACMA 31 selectively inhibits TrxR over the related glutathione reductase (GR) and in the presence of reduced glutathione (GSH). Further studies with mutant enzyme and molecular docking suggest that the propynamide fragment of PACMA 31 interacts covalently with the selenocysteine residue of TrxR. Moreover, PACMA 31 effectively and selectively curbs TrxR activity in cells and further stimulates the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) at low micromolar concentrations, which in turn triggers the accumulation of oxidized thioredoxin (Trx) and GSSG in cells. Follow-up studies demonstrate that PACMA 31 targets TrxR in cells to induce oxidative stress-mediated cancer cell apoptosis.

In vivo activity:
The effects of PDI blockade in vivo were examined by treating mice with the irreversible PDI inhibitor, PACMA-31, in an ovalbumin-induced model of food allergy. Insulin turbidimetric assays demonstrated that curcumin is a potent PDI inhibitor and pre-treatment of mast cells with curcumin or established PDI inhibitors such as bacitracin, rutin or PACMA-31, resulted in the suppression of IgE-mediated activation and the secretion of various cytokines. This was accompanied by decreased mast cell proliferation, FcεRI expression, and mast cell degranulation. Similarly, treatment of allergic BALB/c mice with PACMA-31 attenuated the development of food allergy resulting in decreased allergic diarrhea, mast cell activation, and fewer intestinal mast cell.
