Description

Cytosporone B (Csn-B; Dothiorelone G) is a naturally occurring nuclear orphan receptor Nur77/NR4A1 agonist with an EC50 of 0.278 nM.

IC50 & Target

Nur77/NR4A1

 

In Vitro

Cytosporone B targets the ligand binding domain of Nur77, which selectively stimulates the transactivational activity of Nur77. Cytosporone B induces luciferase activity in cells that are cotransfected with GAL4- Nur77 or GAL4-LBD. The EC50 of cytosporone B for Nur77 is 0.278 nM. Cytosporone B displays robust pro-apoptotic activity in gastric cancer cells BGC-823. 63.5% of the cells are apoptotic when treated with cytosporone B for 48 h. Cytosporone B shows selective effect on cancerous cells. Cytosporone B inhibits proliferation of human gastric cancer BGC-823 cells and human colon cancer SW620 cells by 470%, but it has a modest effect on human lung cancer H1299 cells and human hepatoma HepG2 cells[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

In the hepatocytes of wild-type mice, the transcriptional activity of the reporter is induced five-fold with cytosporone B treatment. In wild-type mice, cytosporone B treatment significantly increases glucose levels from 3.2 to 11.4 mM within the first 30 min, and thereafter blood glucose gradually decreased before reaching the initial level after 300 min[1].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.75 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.75 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Cell Assay
[1]

Human gastric cancer BGC-823 cells and human colon cancer SW620 cells are treated with cytosporone B for 72 h at 0-15 μg/mL. Cell viability is measured using the MTT assay[1].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Administration
[1]

Mice: The inoculated mice are randomly separated into two groups. One group is given an injection to the abdominal cavity at a dosage of 13 mg/kg of cytosporone B twice a week. The other group is administered with DMSO without cytosporone B. Food consumption and body weight of nude mice are monitored weekly. Four weeks later, the nude mice are killed and the tumors formed are removed, fixed and embedded[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
