Description of VB124

VB124 is a safe, effective and orally active selective monocarboxylate transport protein 4(MCT4) inhibitor. VB124 blocks the input (IC50 = 8.6nM) and output (IC50 = 19nm) of lactic acid in MDA-MB-231 cells[1].

In vitro, mouse primary cardiomyocytes (ACM) subjected to hypoxia-reoxygenation were treated with VB124 to mitigate intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and reduce cardiomyocyte apoptosis[2]. Treatment of HMCC97H and Hepa1-6 cells with VB124 (2,10μM) significantly inhibited lactic acid effusion caused by MCT4, reduced extracellular lactic acid levels, and further led to a decrease in glucose uptake and an increase in glutamine uptake[3].

In vivo, a single-dose oral administration of VB124 (30mg/kg) by gavage was used to create an acute cardiac ischemia-reperfusion model in mice. VB124 inhibited MCT4, resulting in a decrease in intracellular lactate and pyruvate levels, further exacerbating hypoxic injury caused by acute cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in mice[2,4].

Protocol of VB124

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

MDA-MB-231

Preparation Method

MCT4 and MCT1 lactate transport assays that use the pH-sensitive fluorescent dye 2′−7′-bis(carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein (BCECF) to detect changes in intracellular pH (pHi) accompanying MCT-mediated lactate/proton symport, were developed in a manner similar to that reported previously.To measure lactate import, 2.5μL BCECF-loaded cells, along with either 10μL DMSO or 100x compound in DMSO, were added to 937.5μL of Tyrode’s Solution in a quartz 1.0mL cuvette. Fluorescence measurements are performed on a PerkinElmer LS55 fluorescence spectrometer with dual excitation wavelengths achieved using a filter wheel. After establishing baseline BCECF fluorescence (around 10–20s), 50μL of M sodium L-lactate was added to the cuvette (final concentration: 50mM) and rapidly mixed. The time-dependent decrease in BCECF fluorescence (490/440 ratio) was fit to an exponential decay curve to determine the rate of lactate transport. Lactate export was measured similarly to import.

Reaction Conditions

MCT4-mediated import:0-3.3μM; MCT4-mediated export:0-10μM;

Applications

VB124 treatment reduces intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and decreases cardiomyocyte death.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

C57BL/6J

Preparation Method

To test this, we replicated our I/R protocol administering either a single dose of placebo or VB124 (30 mg/kg) via oral gavage prior to performing I/R. Unlike in the acute model, the mice were permitted to recover after surgery, and we performed serial echocardiography over a 3-week period to assess cardiac structure and function .

Dosage form

30mg/kg; i.g;

Applications

VB124 inhibits MCT4, resulting in a decrease in intracellular lactate and pyruvate levels, further exacerbating hypoxic injury caused by acute cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in mice.
