INCA-6 (Triptycene-1,4-quinone) is a cell-permeable NFAT inhibitor. INCA-6 specifically blocks targeting of NFAT(P) substrate to the calcineurin (CN) phosphatase site and is an effective inhibitor of CN-NFAT signaling.

体外研究(In Vitro)
INCA-6 (5 μM; for 24-hour) prevents transient outward K+ current (Ito) downregulation in 3-Hz cells.
Pre-treatment of BV-2 cells with INCA-6 (10 μM) significantly inhibits ATP-induced CXCL2 expression in BV-2 cells. INCA-6 also inhibits ATP-induced CXCL2 expression in rat primary microglia.
INCA-6 (5 μM) reduces SERCA2 transcript levels as well as protein expression, in the absence or in the presence of thapsigargin (TG).
INCA-6 (1.0 and 2.5 μM; 24 hours ) treatment significantly decreases both VEGF and serum-induced human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRMEC) proliferation, but does not affect baseline proliferation.
Medlife has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Cell Proliferation Assay
Cell Line:
Human retinal microvascular endothelial cells
Concentration:
0.5, 1.0, or 2.5 μM
Incubation Time:
24 hours
Result:
Significantly inhibited VEGF-induced proliferation at 1.0 and 2.5 μM concentrations.
体内研究(In Vivo)
INCA-6 (5.0, or 25.0 μM) treatment significantly reduces pathologic neovascularization in oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR).
Medlife has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Animal Model:
Rats bearing OIR model
Dosage:
2.5, 5.0, or 25.0 μM
Administration:
Intravitreal injection on days 14(0) and 14(3)
Result:
Decreased the severity of OIR in a dose dependent manner. Significant inhibition was seen at 5.0 and 25.0 μM concentrations.
