General tips | For obtaining a higher solubility , please warm the tube at 37 ℃ and shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while.Stock solution can be stored below -20℃ for several months. We recommend that you prepare and use the solution on the same day. However, if the test schedule requires, the stock solutions can be prepared in advance, and the stock solution must be sealed and stored below -20℃. In general, the stock solution can be kept for several months. Before use, we recommend that you leave the vial at room temperature for at least an hour before opening it. |

The inositol-requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α) is a serine-threonine kinase that plays crucial roles in activating the unfolded protein response. Studies suggest that IRE1α is activated during thymic T cell development and in effector CD8+ T cells. 4μ8C is a potent and selective IRE1 Rnase inhibitor.
In vitro: 4μ8c is a potent and non-toxic inhibitor of IRE1 RNase activation in response to both hypoxia and other ER stress-inducing agents. This compound effectively inhibited IRE1 induced activation of the downstream target genes in both HCT116 colorectal cancer and KP4 pancreatic cancer cell lines under hypoxia. However, despite potent inhibition of IRE1 activation and the, 4μ8c had no effect on cell proliferation or clonogenic survival of HCT116 and KP4 cells during exposure to hypoxia or anoxia. Similarly, 4μ8c inhibition of IRE1 did not sensitize cells to other ER stress inducing agents [1].
In vivo: 4μ8C has not been tested in vivo, probably because of its unfavourable pharmacokinetics.
Clinical trial: Up to now, 4μ8C is still in the preclinical development stage.

The molecular basis for selective inhibition of unconventional mRNA splicing by an IRE1-binding small molecule.[Pubmed:22315414]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2012 Apr 10;109(15):E869-78.
IRE1 couples endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein load to RNA cleavage events that culminate in the sequence-specific splicing of the Xbp1 mRNA and in the regulated degradation of diverse membrane-bound mRNAs. We report on the identification of a small molecule inhibitor that attains its selectivity by forming an unusually stable Schiff base with lysine 907 in the IRE1 endonuclease domain, explained by solvent inaccessibility of the imine bond in the enzyme-inhibitor complex. The inhibitor (abbreviated 4mu8C) blocks substrate access to the active site of IRE1 and selectively inactivates both Xbp1 splicing and IRE1-mediated mRNA degradation. Surprisingly, inhibition of IRE1 endonuclease activity does not sensitize cells to the consequences of acute endoplasmic reticulum stress, but rather interferes with the expansion of secretory capacity. Thus, the chemical reactivity and sterics of a unique residue in the endonuclease active site of IRE1 can be exploited by selective inhibitors to interfere with protein secretion in pathological settings.
