3'3'-cGAMP is a second messenger produced in bacteria by specific dinucleotide cyclases. It contains canonical 3'5'-phosphodiester bonds and regulates chemotaxis, colonization, and other cellular functions. 3'3'-cGAMP shows weaker binding to the adapter protein stimulator of interferon genes (STING; Kd = 1.04 μM) than 2'2'-cGAMP and 2'3'-cGAMP but has similar binding affinity to 3'2'-cGAMP (Kd = 1.61 μM) and cyclic di-GMP . 3'3'-cGAMP induces IFN-β mRNA expression in L929 cells (EC50 = 40.5 nM).
2',3'-cGAMP-C2-PPA (45) is a cyclic di-nucleotide that acts as a STING agonist (US20210015941A1). It is a drug-linker conjugate for antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) used in the targeted treatment of cancer.
3',3'-cGAMP sodium salt is a STING agonist. Reduces B cell proliferation and induces apoptosis of malignant B cellsin vitro. Suppresses 5TGM1 multiple myeloma xenograft growth in immunodeficient mice, and induces leukemic regression in Eμ-TCL1 mice.
2'2'-cGAMP is a synthetic dinucleotide (CDN) that contains non-canonical 2'5'-phosphodiester bonds. It binds to the adapter protein stimulator of interferon genes , which is a component of the innate immune response that activates the type I interferon pathway when bound to cyclic dinucleotides. 2'2-cGAMP shows weaker binding to STING than 2'3'-cGAMP but binds more strongly than 3'3'-cGAMP , cyclic di-GMP , or 3'2'-cGAMP, which bind in the micromolar range (Kds = 1.04, 1.21, or 1.61 μM, respectively). Despite weaker binding, 2'2'-cGAMP induces IFN-β production in the same concentration range as 2'3'-cGAMP (EC50s = 15.8 and 19.4 nM, respectively, in L929 cells).
Cyclic di-UMP is a pyrimidine-containing cyclic dinucleotide (CDN).1It is produced by bacterial cGAS DncV-like nucleotidyltransferases (CD-NTases), such as LpCdnE02 fromL. pneumophila, and binds to cGAS, in the apo or dsDNA-bound forms, with reduced affinity compared to 2'3'-cGAMP or 3'3'-cGAMP .1,2Cyclic di-UMP is intended for use as a negative control for cyclic di-GMP signaling. 1.Whiteley, A.T., Eaglesham, J.B., de Oliveira Mann, C.C., et al.Bacterial cGAS-like enzymes synthesize diverse nucleotide signalsNature564(7747)194-199(2019) 2.Hall, J., Ralph, E.C., Shanker, S., et al.The catalytic mechanism of cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) and implications for innate immunity and inhibitionProtein Sci.26(12)2367-2380(2017)
STING18 is a competitive ligand of stimulator of interferon genes (STING; IC50 = 0.068 μM in a radioligand binding assay).1 It inhibits cGAMP-induced IFN-β production (IC50 = 11 μM) but does not stimulate IFN-β production (EC50 = >30 μM) in THP-1 cells. |1.

CU-32 is an inhibitor of cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS; IC50= 0.45 μM).1It reduces DNA-, but not Sendai virus-, induced dimerization of IFN regulatory factor 3 in THP-1 cells, indicating selectivity for the cGAS DNA sensing pathway over the RIG-I-MAVS RNA sensing pathway. It is also selective for cGAS over toll-like receptors (TLRs) at 50 μM. CU-32 decreases IFN-stimulatory DNA-induced production of IFN-β in THP-1 cells when used at concentrations of 10, 30, and 100 μM. 1.Padilla-Salinas, R., Sun, L., Anderson, R., et al.Discovery of small-molecule cyclic GMP-AMP synthase inhibitorsJ.
