Description of IMT1B

IMT1B is a highly specific inhibitor of mitochondrial RNA polymerase (POLRMT), inhibiting mitochondrial gene expression[1]. IMT1B dose-dependently reduces mitochondrial DNA transcription levels, leading to dysfunction of OXPHOS protein complexes and cellular energy crisis, inhibiting a variety of cancer cells [2]. IMT1B has been widely used in cell models to regulate mitochondrial DNA transcription for altering the sensitivity to radiotherapy[3].

In vitro, IMT1B treatment for 168 hours significantly inhibited the proliferation of A2780, MDA-MB-468 and HeLa cells, and the IC50 values were 0.138 ± 0.015, 0.189 ± 0.015, and 1.052 ± 0.154μM, respectively[4]. The 72-hour treatment with 1µM IMT1B increased the sensitivity of chemo-resistant HCT116 cells to 5-fluorouracil, inhibited mitochondrial DNA transcription in the cells, without affecting the expression level of HOXC11[5]. IMT1B treatment at 2.5µM for 24 hours significantly reduced the phosphorylation levels of IRF3 and STAT1 in wild-type A375 cells induced by caspase-independent cell death, and inhibited the expression of ISG15 and IFIT3 transcripts[6]. 0.2µM of IMT1B pretreatment for 1 hour can effectively reduce the dsRNA level in nucleus pulposus cells, decrease the levels of CCL2/7 in the cells, and down-regulate the expressions of p-PKR/PKR, p-eIF2α/eIF2α and ATF4[7].

In vivo, IMT1B treatment (100mg/kg; p.o.) for 27 days could significantly reduce the tumor volume in a xenograft mouse model of A2780 cells, and decrease the mitochondrial DNA transcription level as well as the expression level of respiratory chain subunits in the tumors[1]. In the mouse model of liver ischemia-reperfusion injury, a single intravenous injection of 1mg/kg IMT1B for 24 hours significantly resulted in a significant decrease in the necrotic area of liver tissue in mice, accompanied by a decrease in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels[8].

Protocol of IMT1B

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

A2780 cells

Preparation Method

The A2780 cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium (DMEM) containing 1g/L glucose, supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS) and antibiotics (penicillin-streptomycin). The cells were cultured in a humidified cell incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2. The single cells in the A2780 cell suspension were sorted into 96-well cell culture plates. Subsequently, five different cell clones were cultured to confluence. Different concentrations (0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, 10μM) of IMT1B were used for treatment. The cells were incubated with DMSO or in the presence of IMT1B for 168 hours, and cell viability was determined.

Reaction Conditions

0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, 10μM; 168h

Applications

IMT1B treatment reduced the cell viability of A2780 cells in a concentration-dependent manner.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Female blab/c mice

Preparation Method

Female blab/c mice (18 to 22g, 4 to 5 weeks of age) were subcutaneously inoculated with a total of 1 × 106 A2780 cells on the right side to initiate tumor growth. When the mean tumor volume reached approximately 100mm3, the mice were randomly divided into four groups (n =6 each). IMT1B or compound D26 was dissolved in 25% PEG400 and 30% hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin aqueous solution as a vehicle. IMT1B and compound D26 were orally administered at the doses of 100mg/kg/day for 27 days. Tumor size and body weight were measured every 2 days. Tumor volume was calculated as tumor volume (mm3) = (length × width2)/2.

Dosage form

100mg/kg/day for 27 days; p.o.

Applications

IMT1B significantly inhibited tumor volume and weight without affecting body weight in mice.
