VBIT-4

VBIT-4 is a voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) oligomerization inhibitor that decreases mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) release, type I interferon (IFN) signaling, neutrophil extracellular traps, and disease severity in a mouse model of systemic lupus erythematosus.

Biological Activity

Description VBIT-4 is a voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) oligomerization inhibitor that decreases mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) release, type I interferon (IFN) signaling, neutrophil extracellular traps, and disease severity in a mouse model of systemic lupus erythematosus.
Targets
VDAC [1] mtDNA [1] IFN [1]
In vitro
In vitro

VBIT-4 rapidly inhibits the loss of ATP, which is a consequence of its translocation to the plasma membrane caused by VDAC1 overexpression, in plVdac1-expressing INS-1 cells.[2]

Cell Research Cell lines INS-1 cells transfected with plVdac1
Concentrations 20 μM
Incubation Time 1 h
Method

Effect of VDAC1 antibody (VDAC1-ab, 10 nM), metformin, or the VDAC1 inhibitors AKOS022075291 and VBIT-4 (20 μM each) on ATP release after 1 hr exposure at 1 mM glucose of INS-1 cells transfected with control plasmid or plVdac1. ATP content and release from isolated mouse or human islets or from INS-1 cells after transfection with mitochondrial targeted VDAC1 (mtVDAC1) or plasma membrane targeted VDAC1 (plVDAC1) plasmids was determined using a luminometric assay kit. After incubation of islets (50/vial) or INS-1 cells for 60 min, an aliquot of the media was removed for subsequent measurements of released ATP. Then the islets or INS-1 cells were washed 3 times and the lysates were used for measurements of ATP and protein contents.

In Vivo
In vivo

VBIT-4 prevents increases in water consumption and polyuria in the db/db mice, also counteracts VDAC1 overexpression, preventing mistargeting to the β cell surface under glucotoxic conditions. Through the prevention of VDAC1 gene expression, VBIT-4 may have disease-modifying actions.[2]

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
