NCATS-SM0225 is an endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) inhibitor that functions as a direct binder to VDAC1, VDAC2, and VDAC3. It demonstrates an IC50 of 1.02 μM for inhibiting ERAD and a Kd of 3.13 μM for binding human VDAC1. By disrupting cellular calcium homeostasis and enhancing VDAC1-IP3R coupling, NCATS-SM0225 activates the PERK pathway and selectively induces apoptosis in cancer cells. This reagent is valuable for investigating cancer biology, particularly in melanoma, as well as exploring the underlying mechanisms of ERAD and calcium homeostasis regulation.
