Product Data:
Biological target: CE3F4 is a selective antagonist of exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (Epac1), with IC50s of 10.7 μM and 66 μM for Epac1 and Epac2(B), respectively.
In vitro activity: CE3F4, a tetrahydroquinoline analog, prevents Epac1 activation in vitro and in living cultured cells by inhibiting the GEF activity of Epac1. However, the activity of the (R)- and (S)-enantiomers of CE3F4, as well as the ability of CE3F4 and its analogs to inhibit Epac2 GEF activity, have not yet been investigated. In this study, it’s reported that (R)-CE3F4 is a more potent cAMP antagonist than racemic CE3F4 and (S)-CE3F4, inhibiting the GEF activity of Epac1 with 10-times more efficiency than (S)-CE3F4. Epac2, in contrast to Epac1, is activated more efficiently by cAMP than by 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-2'-O-methyladenosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (007), an Epac-selective cAMP analog. (R)-CE3F4 displays Epac isoform preference, with 10-fold selectivity for Epac1 over Epac2. Deletion of the N-terminal cyclic nucleotide-binding domain of Epac2 does not affect the characteristics of activation of Epac2 by cAMP and by 007, nor its inhibition by CE3F4. Finally, the evaluation of a series of CE3F4 structural analogs as GEF inhibitors allowed identifying structural features that are important for high Epac1 inhibitory activity of CE3F4. It’s concluded that the (R)-enantiomer of CE3F4 is a preferential inhibitor of Epac1 with high potency in the low micromolar range, and it’s suggested that this compound may be a useful pharmacological tool for investigating the functional role of Epac1 in cAMP signaling.

In vivo activity: The usefulness of CE3F4, an Epac1-selective inhibitor, is examined in the treatment of the arrhythmias in mice. In Epac1 knockout (Epac1-KO) mice, the duration of atrial fibrillation (AF) was shorter than in wild-type mice. In calsequestrin2 knockout mice, Epac1 deficiency resulted in a reduction of ventricular arrhythmia. In both atrial and ventricular myocytes, sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ leak, a major trigger of arrhythmias, and spontaneous SR Ca2+ release (SCR) were attenuated in Epac1-KO mice. Consistently, CE3F4 treatment significantly prevented AF and ventricular arrhythmia in mice. In addition, the SR Ca2+ leak and SCR were significantly inhibited by CE3F4 treatment in both atrial and ventricular myocytes. Importantly, cardiac function was not significantly affected by a dosage of CE3F4 sufficient to exert anti-arrhythmic effects.
