MOPIPP 

MOPIPP is a novel indolebased chalcone, and vacuolin-1, is a non-lethal vacuoleinducing 2-propyl analog of MOMIPP (HY-148114). MOPIPP induces cellular vacuolization and increases autophagosomes numbers. MOPIPP also triggers methuosis, and interrupts glucose uptake and glycolytic metabolism. MOPIPP can cross the blood-brain barrier and shows efficacy in suppressing tumor progression agaisnt glioblastoma cells^[1][2][3].

MOPIPP (10 μM; 48 h) induces cellular vacuolization but does not cause cell death in U251 glioblastoma cells， exhibiting characteristics of late endosomes^[1][2].
MOPIPP (10 μM; 24 h) results an increasing LC3 fluorescence associated with the number of autophagosomes and inhibits fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes^[1].
MOPIPP (10 μM; 24 h) increases the amounts of exosomal marker proteins in vesicle fractions recovered from 293T cells^[2].
MOMIPP (10 μM; 24 h and 5 h, respectively) causes early disruptions of glucose uptake and glycolytic metabolism, induces methuosis, a form of non-apoptotic cell death, in glioblastoma and other cancer cell lines^[3].
MOMIPP (10 μM; 4 h and 24 h) selectively activates the JNK1/2 stress kinase pathway, resulting in phosphorylation of c-Jun, Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL^[3].

MOMIPP (80 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) readily penetrates the bloodbrain barrier in female Swiss Webster Mice and (80 mg/kg; i.p.; every 24 h; 15 d) is effective in suppressing progression of intracerebral glioblastoma xenografts in female NCR-Foxn1 mice^[3].
