Description:

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

NCT-501 is a potent ALDH1A1 inhibitor. Aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) metabolize reactive aldehydes and possess important physiological and toxicological functions in areas such as CNS, metabolic disorders, and cancers. Increased ALDH (e.g., ALDH1A1) gene expression and catalytic activity are vital biomarkers in a number of malignancies and cancer stem cells, highlighting the need for the identification and development of small molecule ALDH inhibitors.

Product Data
Biological target:
NCT-501 is a potent and selective theophylline-based inhibitor of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1).
In vitro activity:
The results indicated 64 (NCT-501) is a clean inhibitor with no significant hits (i.e., inhibition of ≥55% at 10 µM) observed against more than 450 human kinases (Supporting Information Figure S1). To further investigate the mechanism of action, a rapid dilution experiment using 64 was conducted to determine the reversibility of the inhibition. The reaction time courses were collected after incubation with 64 at an IC90 concentration (red triangle, Figure 2) and rapid dilution of enzymatic reaction. The diluted sample rapidly recovered enzymatic activity (orange box), similar to the low-compound incubated control (blue triangle) or in the absence (green circle) of inhibitor, indicating that compound 64 demonstrates reversible inhibition of ALDH1A1.

In vivo activity:
This study generated ovarian xenografts by injecting PEO1-Luc cells into nude mice intraperitoneally, and injecting PEO1-R cells into nude mice subcutaneously, treated xenograft-bearing mice with either olaparib or/and NCT-501 for 10 or 8 days, respectively. Combination treatment with both olaparib and NCT-501 exhibits a synergistic effect on the inhibition of tumor growth (Fig. 6A, B).
