Probe criteria


Inhibitor/agonist potency: goal is < 100 nM (IC50, Kd) Surpasses criterion: [3H]-BTZO-1 binds to hMIF and rMIF in SPA binding assay with Kd = 68.6 nM and Kd = 157 nM, respectively
Selectivity within target family: > 30-fold Surpasses criterion: Selectivity against recently discovered D-Dopachrome Tautomerase (DDT) is unknown.
Selectivity outside target family Surpasses criterion: No relevant activity in panel of 280 kinases at 1 µM; KINOMEScan with 468 targets at 1 µM: Closest off-targets of primary data (% Ctrl) are CDK8 (36) and EIF2AK4 (47).
Clean PDSP scan with one hit on GABAA/BZP (Ki = 934 nM)
On target cell activity for cell-based targets: goal is < 1 µM IC50/EC50 Surpasses criterion: ARE-Luc Reporter Assay (Activation of ARE (antioxidant response element)-mediated cytoprotective gene expression): MEC2.0 = 820 nM (MEC2.0: Necessary concentration to double luciferase activity in pGL3-ARE-Luc reporter plasmid-transfected H9c2 cells.);
Apoptosis inhibition: MEC1.5 = 16 nM (MEC1.5: Necessary concentration to give a 50% increase in the viability of rat cardiocytes)
Control compound (100 times less potent than the probe) Surpasses criterion: ARE-Luc Reporter Assay (Activation of ARE (antioxidant response element)-mediated cytoprotective gene expression): MEC2.0 > 10 µM;
Apoptosis inhibition: MEC1.5 > 1 µM; Clean PDSP scan
KINOMEScan with 468 targets at 1 µM: Closest off-targets of primary data (% Ctrl) is EIF2AK4 (42).
