VCP/p97 IN-3

VCP/p97 IN-3 is an allosteric inhibitor of VCP/p97. It exhibits inhibitory activity against VCP, with an IC50 of 9 nM, and shows IC50 values of 12 nM (N660K) and 19 nM (V474A/D649A) for mutant VCP proteins. VCP/p97 IN-3 increases the levels of K48 ubiquitination and caspase-3. It activates endoplasmic reticulum stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR) . In a subcutaneous xenograft mouse model with RPMI-8226 cells, VCP/p97 IN-3 suppresses tumor growth. This compound is applicable for research in multiple myeloma.
