SJB2-043 analog (trifluoroacetate salt)

SJB2-043 analog is an inhibitor of OTUB1 and ubiquitin-specific protease 8 (USP8; IC₅₀s = 0.17 and 0.28 nM, respectively) and a derivative of the USP1/UAF1 complex and SARS-CoV-2 PL^Pro inhibitor SJB2-043.¹ It is selective for OTUB1 and USP8 over USP1, USP2, USP7, USP36, and ataxin-3 (IC₅₀s = 1,370, 3,800, >10,000, 8,400, and >10,000 nM, respectively). SJB2-043 analog reduces viability in H1975, EBC-1, NCI H1703, H23, and A549 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells (IC₅₀s = 118, 172, 145, 431, and 1,004 nM, respectively). In vivo, SJB2-043 analog (5 mg/kg twice daily) decreases tumor volume in an H1975 mouse xenograft model.
