Description

EN4 is a covalent ligand that targets cysteine 171 (C171) of MYC. EN4 is selective for c-MYC over N-MYC and L-MYC. EN4 inhibits MYC transcriptional activity, downregulates MYC targets, and impairs tumorigenesis[1].

In Vitro

EN4 (1-50 μM; for 72 hours) treatment significantly impaires 231MFP breast cancer cell proliferation in a dosedependent manner, with >90% inhibition of proliferation at 50 μM[1].
EN4 (50 μM; for 60 hours) treatment significantly decreases the protein levels of representative MYC-regulated target genes, including CDK2 and CDC25A. EN4 treatment also substantially reduces MYC levels[1].
EN4 shows the strongest inhibition of both MYC/MAX binding to its DNA consensus sequence in vitro as well as MYC transcriptional activity in cells. EN4 inhibited MYC/MAX binding to the E-box response element DNA consensus sequence in a dose-responsive manner with an IC50 value of 6.7 μM. EN4 also inhibits MYC luciferase reporter activity in a dose-responsive manner with an IC50 value of 2.8 μM[1].
EN4 (50 μM; for 2 hours) treatment significantly reduced MYC thermal stability in 231MFP breast cancer cells[1].

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    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: 2.08 mg/mL (4.99 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.08 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 (20.8 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.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: 2.08 mg/mL (4.99 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.08 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 (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

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.
