Catalog No.: GC35271Purity:>99.00%Synonyms: AHR antagonist 1
BAY-218 (AHR antagonist 1) is a novel, selective, and potent AhR small molecule inhibitor. BAY-218 inhibits AhR nuclear translocation, dioxin response element (DRE)-luciferase reporter expression, and AhR-regulated target gene expression induced by both exogenous and endogenous AhR ligands.

Description

BAY-218 (AHR antagonist 1) is a novel, selective, and potent AhR small molecule inhibitor. BAY-218 inhibits AhR nuclear translocation, dioxin response element (DRE)-luciferase reporter expression, and AhR-regulated target gene expression induced by both exogenous and endogenous AhR ligands[1].

In vitro, BAY-218 (0.1, 0.3 and 1μM; 18h) is able to reverse the inhibitory effect of kynurenic acid (KA) on the production of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated human primary monocytes[2].

In vivo, BAY-218 (30mg/kg; twice daily; p.o.) enhanced the therapeutic effect of anti-PD-L1 antibody in the CT26 mouse tumor model[2].

Protocol

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Human monocytes

Preparation Method

Human monocytes were purified by negative selection using magnetic beads from donor PBMCs and seeded at a concentration of 2×10⁵ cells/well in complete growth medium (RPMI 1640, 10% fetal calf serum). Monocytes were incubated with 10ng/mL LPS and 200mM KA, and BAY-218 was added at concentrations of 1μM, 0.3μM, and 0.1μM, followed by culturing for 18h. LPS alone served as the positive control. TNFα production in the supernatant was measured using the Meso Scale Discovery immunoassay, and the ability of BAY-218 to rescue TNFα production was calculated based on LPS stimulation and KA-induced inhibition.

Reaction Conditions

0.1, 0.3 and 1μM; 18h

Applications

BAY-218 is able to reverse the inhibitory effect of kynurenic acid (KA) on the production of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated human primary monocytes.
Animal experiment [1]:

Animal models

Female Balb/c mice

Preparation Method

Female Balb/c mice at the age of 8 weeks were assigned to the study. CT26 cells were cultivated in RPMI 1640 containing 10% fetal calf serum and were passaged at least 3 times before inoculation. Female Balb/c mice were inoculated subcutaneously in the flank with 500,000 CT26 tumor cells (50% medium/50% matrigel). After 4 days, the animals were randomized, and treatment began on day 5. The BAY-218 at 30mg/kg was dissolved in ethanol/solutol/water (10/40/50) and administered orally twice daily, in combination with 10mg/kg of the anti-PD-L1 antibody administered intraperitoneally every 3 days. Tumor size was measured using calipers to determine length (a) and width (b).

Dosage form

30mg/kg; twice daily; p.o.

Applications

BAY-218 enhanced the therapeutic effect of anti-PD-L1 antibody in the CT26 mouse tumor model.
