UNC10217938A (UNC7938), a 3-deazapteridine analog with high oligonucleotide enhancing effects, is a destabilizer of the endosome membrane that can enhance the endosome-leakage activity of cell-penetrating peptides and facilitating the endosomal escape of macromolecules initially internalized by mammalian cells via endocytosis.

Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | Compared to Retro-1, UNC10217938A is significantly more effective and potent as it significantly increases luciferase induction in HelaLuc705 cells within the 5-25 µM range. UNC10217938A offers a 60-fold enhancement at 10 µM and a 220-fold enhancement at 20 µM when compared to splice switching oligonucleotide (SSO) alone[1]. In contrast, 100 µM Retro-1 only delivers an 11-fold enhancement. Receptor-targeted oligonucleotide conjugates can have their effects significantly increased by UNC10217938A. UNC10217938A has the ability to amplify the effects of both negatively charged and uncharged morpholino oligonucleotides[1]. Cells exposed to UNC10217938A exhibit a significant decrease in TAMRA-oligonucleotide co-localization with the late endosome marker Rab7, but little change in co-localization with the lysosomal marker LAMP-1. UNC10217938A induces a partial release of oligonucleotides into the cytosol from late endosomes through nuclear accumulation[1]. |
| ln Vivo | In EGFP654 mice, systemic treatment with SSO623 and intravenous injection of UNC10217938A (7.5 mg/kg) result in discernible increases in EGFP fluorescence in the liver, kidney, and heart[3]. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ~10 mg/mL (~21.90 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 1 mg/mL (2.19 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 +5% Tween-80 + 45% Saline (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 10.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL of Tween-80 + to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL of normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
