CAY10748 is an agonist of stimulator of interferon genes (STING; IC50= 0.3794 μM in a competition binding assay).1It activates STING in STING-expressing, but not STING knockout, THP-1 cells (EC50s = 0.287 and >100 μM, respectively, in a reporter assay). It induces phosphorylation of STING at the serine in position 366, as well as phosphorylation of TBK1 and IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF3), indicating activation of the STING-TBK1-IRF3 signaling pathway. CAY10748 increases the secretion of IFN-β and the levels of chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 10 (CXCL10), and IL-6 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) when used at a concentration of 10 μM. It also reduces tumor growth in a CT26 murine colon cancer model when administered at a dose of 0.15, but not 1.5, mg/kg. 1.Xi, Q., Wang, M., Jia, W., et al.Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of amidobenzimidazole derivatives as stimulator of interferon genes (STING) receptor agonistsJ.

STING agonist 12b is an agonist of stimulator of interferon genes (STING).1It binds to STING (Kd= 26.4 μM) and induces interferon reporter gene expression in cells expressing human or mouse STING (EC50s = 7.45 and 10.23 μM, respectively). STING agonist 12b (40 μM) induces expression of TNF-a, IL-6, IP-10, and IL-1b in THP-1 cells. 1.Hou, S., Lan, X.-j., Li, W., et al.Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of acridone analogues as novel STING receptor agonistsBioorg.

STING agonist 1a is an agonist of stimulator of interferon genes (STING).1It induces expression of an IRF-inducible SEAP reporter gene in a cell-based assay (EC50= 16.77 μM). STING agonist 1a (12.5-100 μM) induces expression of IFN-β, IL-6, and chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 10 (CXCL10) in THP-1 cells, an effect that can be reversed by STING knockout or the STING inhibitor H-151 . 1.Hou, H., Yang, R., Liu, X., et al.Discovery of triazoloquinoxaline as novel STING agonists via structure-based virtual screeningBioorg.

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.

M04 acts as a stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonist, effectively inducing IFN reporter gene expression in HEK293T cells equipped with wild-type human STING. Its activity is specific, not affecting HEK293T cells with the R71H-G230A-R293Q (HAQ) human STING variant or mouse RAW 264.7 cells, showcasing allelic- and species-dependent effects at a concentration of 75 µM. This compound also stimulates the production of TNF-α, IL-10, IL-1β, and IL-12p70 in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). At 50 µM, M04 enhances human monocyte-derived dendritic cells' expression of HLA-DR (MHC class II receptor) and co-stimulatory molecules CD40, CD80, and CD86, improving T cell cross-priming in an ex vivo assay.
