BC-DXI-495

BC-DXI-495 is a specific small molecule inhibitor of AIMP2-DX2-HSP70 interaction, specifically reduced the levels of DX2 (IC50=4.2 uM) but not AIMP2-F, and the viability of lung cancer cells (EC50=14 uM).BC-DXI-495 bound to DX2 with KD of 14 uM.BC-DXI-495 specifically reduced the levels of endogenous DX2 protein but not of AIMP2-F , affected the DX2 protein level, but not mRNA level.BC-DXI-495 inhibited DX2-dependent cell growth, significantly diminished tumor growth in a xenograft model of H460 cells, with little effect on body weigh.BC-DXI-495 significantly suppressed the growth and weight of tumors expressing DX2 WT, but not L80A mutant.
