Description

ERG240 is an oral active branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase 1 (BCAT1) inhibitor. ERG240 can be used for the research of cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and bone disease[1].

In Vitro

ERG240 (20 µM, 3 hours) significantly reduces Irg1 mRNA and protein levels, along with itaconate production, in human monocyte-derived macrophages[2].
ERG240 (5 µM and 10 µM, 24 hours) significantly inhibits migration in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs)[2].

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

Western Blot Analysis[2]

Cell Line: Human monocyte-derived macrophages (hMDMs)
Concentration: 20 µM
Incubation Time: 3 hours
Result: Resulted in a significant reduction in IRG1 and IL-1β protein levels, with no significant change in HIF1A and ACTB expression.

Cell Migration Assay [2]

Cell Line: Bone Marrow-Derived Macrophages (BMDMs)
Concentration: 5 µM and 10 µM
Incubation Time: 24 hours
Result: Inhibited BMDM migration in a dose-dependent manner without affecting cell viability.

Real Time qPCR[2]

Cell Line: Human monocyte-derived macrophages (hMDMs)
Concentration: 20 µM
Incubation Time: 3 hours
Result: Significantly reduced Irg1 mRNA levels, along with itaconate production, without affecting HIF1A and IL1B mRNA levels.
In Vivo

ERG240 (500 mg/kg, i.p., administered 30 min before and 8 h after LPS injection) significantly decreases pro-inflammatory response and increases anti-inflammatory transcriptomic features in LPS (HY-D1056)-induced acute inflammation C57BL/6 mouse model[2].
ERG240 (720 mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg, p.o., once daily for 3 weeks (720 mg/kg) and 4 weeks (1000 mg/kg)) significantly alleviates inflammation and joint destruction in the collagen-induced arthritis DBA/1 mouse model[2].
ERG240 (500 mg/kg, p.o., once daily for 10 days) significantly reduces the severity of inflammation and interstitial fibrosis in the NTN WKY rat model induced by nephrotoxic serum[2].

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

Animal Model: LPS (HY-D1056)-induced acute inflammation C57BL/6 mouse model[2]
Dosage: 500 mg/kg
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.), administered 30 min before and 8 h after LPS injection
Result: Reduced Irg1 mRNA and protein levels along with itaconate production.
Animal Model: Collagen (HY-NP102)-induced arthritis (CIA) DBA/1 mouse model[2]
Dosage: 720 and 1000 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage (p.o.), once daily for 3 weeks (720 mg/kg) and 4 weeks (1000 mg/kg)
Result: Significantly reduced inflammation, cartilage damage, pannus formation, and bone resorption in CIA model; decreased serum levels of pro-inflammatory markers TNF and RANKL.
Animal Model: Nephrotoxic nephritis (NTN) WKY rat model induced by nephrotoxic serum (NTS) injection[2]
Dosage: 500 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage (p.o.), once daily for 10 days
Result: Reduced glomerular crescent formation, proteinuria, serum creatinine, and collagen type I levels.

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.
