    Description

    ML385 is a specific nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) inhibitor with an IC50 of 1.9 μM.

    IC50 & Target

    IC50: 1.9 μM (NRF2)[1]

    In Vitro

    ML385 interacts with NRF2 and affects the DNA binding activity of the NRF2-MAFG protein complex. The addition of ML385 decreases anisotropy in a dose-dependent manner, with an IC50 of 1.9 μM. A dose-dependent reduction in the NRF2 transcriptional activity is observed and the maximum inhibitory concentration is 5 μM by ML385. Treatment with ML385 leads to a significant reduction in NRF2 and downstream target gene expression selectively in KEAP1 mutant H460 cells. ML385 selectively affects the colony forming ability or growth of lung cancer cells with gain of NRF2 function[1].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    In Vivo

    ML385 in combination with carboplatin leads to a significant reduction in tumor cell proliferation, demonstrated by fewer Ki-67 positive cells. Tumor samples treated with ML385 show a significant reduction in NRF2 protein level and its downstream target genes[1].
    ML385 (intraperitoneal injection; 30 mg/kg; 7 days) weakens the therapeutic effects of MSC-Exo on inflammation-induced astrocytic activation in mice, and reduces reactive astrogliosis, NF-κB deactivation[3].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    Animal Model: 8-week-old C57B/6 male mice[3]
    Dosage: 30 mg/kg; 7 days
    Administration: Intraperitoneal injection
    Result: Reversed inhibition of MSC-Exo on hippocampal astrocytic activation in vivo.

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.89 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

      Solubility: 2 mg/mL (3.91 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

      This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

      Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.

    For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
