Pentachloropseudilin (Antibiotic A-15104 Y; PClP) is a novel, potent and allosteric Myosin-1 (Myo1) inhibitor. Also inhibits transforming growth factor-β activity by accelerating cell-surface type II TGF-β receptor turnover.

Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | In target cells (A549, HepG2, and Mv1Lu cells), pentachloropsin (PClP) inhibits TGF-β-stimulated Smad2/3 phosphorylation and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) promoter activation; the IC50 value is 0.1 μM [1]. Pentachloropseudoprotein inhibited vimentin, N-cadherin, and fibronectin expression in response to TGF-β, preventing TGF-β-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in these cells. The TGF-β-mediated (50 or 100 pM) increase in p-Smad2/3 expression was inhibited by pretreatment with pentachloropsin (0.05 to 1 μM; 0–6 hours) by 47% (Mv1Lu) and 79% (A549)[1]. By reducing the expression of type II TGF-β receptors on the cell surface and speeding up caveolae-mediated internalization, which is mainly followed by lysosome-dependent receptor degradation, pentachloropsin (0.2 μM) inhibits TGF-β. Sucrose density gradient analysis and immunofluorescence staining were used to examine cellular responses to stimulation [1]. In HUVEC, pentachloropsin (200 μM; 24 hours) shows and modifies cell viability [2]. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ~100 mg/mL (~301.74 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.54 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
