Cell lines

YAC128 medium spiny neurons primary cultures

Preparation method

The solubility of this compound in DMSO is >15.05mg/mL. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37℃ for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below -20℃ for several months.

Reacting condition

300 nM

Applications

In YAC128 MSN neurons, the main locus of pathology in HD (Huntington’s disease), EVP4593 (300 nM) resulted in strong attenuation of Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOC) influx.

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.

EVP4593 is an inhibitor of NF-κB pathway with IC50 value of 11nM [1].

EVP4593 is a quinazoline derivative. It is screened out from a luciferase reporter gene-based assay using human Jurkat T cells. EVP4593 is found as an inhibitor of PMA/PHA-induced NF-κB pathway. It shows significant inhibition of both NF-κB transcriptional activation and TNF-α production (IC50 value of 7nM). Additionally, EVP4593 also has anti-inflammatory efficacy. It inhibits edema formation in a rat carrageenin-induced paw edema model [1].

Since NF-κB pathway may play a direct role in Huntington’s disease (HD) pathogenesis, EVP4593 is found to have beneficial effects in Drosophila HD transgenic model. It significantly slows the progressive decline in the climbing speed without toxic effects [2].
