ST 2825

Cell lines

HEK 293T and HeLa cell [1], B cells and plasmacytoid dendritic cells [1]

Preparation method

The solubility of this compound in DMSO is >10 mM. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 °C for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while.Stock solution can be stored below -20°C for several months.

Reaction Conditions

6-7 h (HEK 293T cell), 15 min (HeLa cell), 5 days (B cell culture) [1]

Applications

In HEK293T cells, ST2825 specifically inhibited homodimerization of MyD88 TIR domains with 40% inhibition of dimerization at 5 μM and 80% inhibition at 10 μM. This effect was specific for homodimerization of the TIR domains and did not affect homodimerization of the death domains. Moreover, ST2825 interfered with recruitment of IRAK1 and IRAK4 by MyD88, causing inhibition of IL-1-mediated activation of NF-κB transcriptional activity [1]. B cell proliferation and differentiation into plasma cells in response to CpG-induced activation of TLR9 were also suppressed by ST2825 (> 8 μM). These results showed that ST2825 blocked IL-1R/TLR signaling by interfering with MyD88 homodimerization and suggested that it may have therapeutic potential in treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases [1]. TLR9-induced plasma cell (PC) generation was blocked by ST2825 in Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from SLE patients [3].

Animal models

C57BL female mice [1]

Dosage form

Orally taken at 100 or 200 mg/kg/day [1]; injection at 25 mg/kg/day [2]

Preparation method

ST2825 dissolved in 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose [1]

Applications

IL-1 beta-induced production of IL-6 was dose-dependently inhibited by ST2825 (100 or 200mg/kg daily) in treated mice [1]. In a murine model of non-reperfused acute myocardial infarction，ST2825 (25 mg/kg) protected left ventricular from dilatation and hypertrophy. No measurable reduction in infarct size was found [2].

Other notes

Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal.
