MC1568

Maize HD2, HD1-B, and HD1-A enzyme inhibition

The enzyme liberated tritiated acetic acid from the substrate, which was quantified by scintillation counting. IC50 values are results of triple determinations. A 50 μL sample of maize enzyme (at 30 °C) was incubated (30 mins) with 10 μL of total [3H]acetate-prelabeled chicken reticulocyte histones (2 mg/mL). Reaction was stopped by addition of 50 μL of 1 M HCl/0.4 M acetate and 800 μL of ethyl acetate. After centrifugation (10000 g, 5 mins), an aliquot of 600 μL of the upper phase was counted for radioactivity in 3 mL of liquid scintillation cocktail. MC1568 was tested at a starting concentration of 40 μM, and active substances were diluted further. NaB, VPA, TSA, SAHA, 85TPX, HC-toxin, and tubacin were used as the reference compounds, and blank solvents were used as negative controls.

Cell lines

3T3-L1 cells

Preparation method

The solubility of this compound in DMSO is >10 mM. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 °C for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below -20 °C for several months.

Reaction Conditions

~ 10 μM; 8 days

Applications

In 3T3-L1 cells, MC1568 attenuated PPARγ-induced adipogenesis.

Animal models

PPRE-Luc transgenic C57BL/6 mice

Dosage form

50 mg/kg; p.o.; q.d., for 7 days

Applications

In PPRE-Luc transgenic C57BL/6 mice, MC1568 (50 mg/kg) impaired PPARγ signaling mostly in the heart and adipose tissues.

Other notes

Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal.
