ML-323

SKU: orb1307522

Description

ML323 is a potent and reversible inhibitor of the USP1-UAF1 deubiquitinase complex. It demonstrates activity in biochemical assays with IC50 values of 76 nM (Ub-Rho), 174 nM (K63-diUb), and 820 nM (Ub-PCNA). This inhibitor is a valuable chemical probe for studying DNA damage response and replication fork stability in cellular and biochemical research.

Bioactivity

• Target IC50:
  USP1/UAF1:76 nM
• In Vivo:
  In H596 cells and U2OS osteosarcoma cells, ML323 targets two primary DNA damage response pathways (TLS and FA), enhancing the cytotoxicity of cisplatin. By inhibiting the USP1–UAF1 activity in H596 cells, ML323 suppresses the deubiquitination of PCNA and ANCD2.
• Cell Research:
  For the colony-forming assay, cells are seeded at a density of 300–500 cells per well in six-well plates and grown overnight. Cells are then treated with ML323 alone, cisplatin alone or a combination of cisplatin and ML323 (1:1 or 1:4) at the indicated concentrations. Cells treated with an equal volume of DMSO and saline are used as control. After 48 h of treatment, fresh growth medium is added, and cells are incubated for an additional 5-10 d to allow for colony formation. For UV combination treatment, the cells are treated with ML323 at the indicated concentrations or an equal volume of DMSO. After 48 h, the medium is removed, and cells are irradiated at 254 nm at the indicated dosage. Fresh growth medium is added, and the cells are incubated for an additional 5-10 d to allow for colony formation. The cells without UV irradiation but treated with ML323 or an equal volume of DMSO are used as controls and designated as 100%. After the formation of the colonies, cells are fixed with methanol and stained with 0.5% crystal violet. Colonies consisting of >50 cells are scored. The number of colonies is determined from triplicate plates. The dose-response curves are generated using GraphPad Prism and analyzed by using CalcuSyn to calculate the combination index, which is determined for the fraction of cells affected after the addition of fixed ratios of cisplatin and the USP1-UAF1 inhibitor.
