  3. 2-APQC

2-APQC is an orally active and selective agonist of Sirtuin-3 (SIRT3) (Kd=2.756 μM), antagonizes Isoproterenol/ISO (HY-B0468)-induced cytotoxicity. 2-APQC activates the SIRT3-PYCR1 axis to enhance mitochondrial proline metabolism and inhibit the ROS-p38MAPK pathway by inhibiting signaling pathways such as mTOR-p70S6K, JNK, and TGF-β/Smad3. 2-APQC also activates the AMPK-Parkin axis to alleviate myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis and protect cardiac function. 2-APQC can be used in the study of heart failure.

2.756 (Kd)

In Vitro

2-APQC (1, 10, 100 μM; 24 h) activates SIRT3 deacetylation activity in H9c2 cells in a concentration-dependent manner[1].
2-APQC (40 μM; 24 h) has no significant cytotoxicity to H9c2 cells[1].
2-APQC (1-100 μM; 24 h pretreatment + ISO treatment for 48 h) improves Isoproterenol/ISO (HY-B0468)-induced decrease in H9c2 cell viability, attenuates ISO-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy at a dose of 10 μM, and reduces the expression of α-SMA and collagen I[1].
2-APQC (10 μM; 24 h) reduces AcK68-MnSOD2, AcK122-MnSOD2 and acetylated lysine levels in H9c2 cells, without significantly change SIRT3 protein expression[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: H9c2 cells
Concentration: 10 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Decreased the levels of acetylated lysine, AcK68-MnSOD2, and AcK122-MnSOD2, indicating enhanced SIRT3 deacetylation activity.
Didn't change the expression of SIRT3 protein level.
In Vivo

2-APQC (10-30 mg/kg; oral gavage; once a day; 4 weeks) can improve cardiac ejection fraction (EF) and shortening fraction (FS), reduce left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels, reduce myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis, and reduce serum levels of myocardial injury markers such as lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in the Isoproterenol/ISO (HY-B0468)-induced rat heart failure model[1].
2-APQC (42 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; once a day; 4 weeks) can improve cardiac function and reduce myocardial injury in the ISO-induced wild-type male mouse heart failure model, while this protective effect disappears in SIRT3 knockout mice[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Male SD rats (220-250 g), ISO-induced heart failure model[1]
Dosage: 10, 20, 30 mg/kg
Administration: Gavage, once daily, 4 weeks; while ISO groups were injected subcutaneously with 5 mg/kg/d for 2 weeks. After the model was successfully established, 3 mL/kg/d normal saline was fed to rats.
Result: Significantly improved cardiac function as evidenced by increased EF and FS, decreased LVESD and LVPWD, and reduced BNP levels.
Alleviated myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis, as shown by decreased heart weight index, reduced collagen fiber deposition in Sirius Red staining, and smaller myocyte cross-sectional area in WGA staining.
Serum levels of LDH, AST, CK-MB, and α-HBDH were decreased, indicating reduced myocardial injury.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.17 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.17 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
