Biological Activity

Description MCU-i4 is a negative modulator of the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) complex that directly binds a specific cleft in MICU1 and decreases mitochondrial Ca2+ influx.
Targets
MCU1 [1]
In vitro
In vitro

MCU-i4 decreases mitochondrial Ca2+ influx. Docking simulations reveal that MCU-i4 directly binds a specific cleft in MICU1, a key element of the MCU complex that controls channel gating. Accordingly, in MICU1-silenced or deleted cells, the inhibitory effect of MCU-i4 is lost. Moreover, MCU-i4 fails to inhibit mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake in cells expressing a MICU1 mutated in the critical amino acids that forge the predicted binding cleft.[1]

Cell Research Cell lines C2C12 myoblasts
Concentrations 10 μM
Incubation Time 24 h
Method

Growing medium of 90% confluent C2C12 myoblasts is replaced with DMEM containing 2%-heat inactivated horse serum (HS) (differentiation medium). Five days later, cells are incubated for 24 h with MCU-i4 (10 μM) or with DMSO alone (0.1% v/v). At the end of the experiment, myotubes images are taken and myotubes width is measured by means of ImageJ software.

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.
