COA Handling Instructions

APTO-253 (LOR-253) is a small molecule that inhibits c-Myc expression, stabilizes G-quadruplex DNA, and induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in acute myeloid leukemia cells. APTO-253 mediates anticancer activity through induction of the Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) tumor suppressor. APTO-253 has antiarthritic activity.

Description

APTO-253 (LOR-253) is a small molecule that inhibits c-Myc expression, stabilizes G-quadruplex DNA, and induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in acute myeloid leukemia cells. APTO-253 mediates anticancer activity through induction of the Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) tumor suppressor[1][2]. APTO-253 has antiarthritic activity[3].

IC50 & Target

c-Myc[1]; KLF4[2]

In Vitro

APTO-253 (LOR-253) is an inducer of KLF4. APTO-253 (5 μM) induces KLF4 expression, and enhances apoptosis induced by NSC 119875 in both SKOV3 and OVCAR3 cells. APTO-253 (5 μM) also leads to G1 phase arrest and reduces S and G2/M phase cells in SKOV3 and OVCAR3 cells[1].
APTO-253 is cytotoxic to Raji and Raji/253R cell lines, with IC50s of 105 ± 2.4 nM and 1387 ± 94 nM, respectively. APTO-253 (0.5 μM) also causes DNA damage in Raji cells. BRCA1/2 deficient cells are hypersensitive to APTO-253. ABCG2 overexpressed HEK-293 cells are resistant to APTO-253 and inhibition of ABCG2 reverses resistance to APTO-253 in Raji/253R[2].
APTO-253 suppresses the proliferation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines and various forms of lymphoma cell lines with IC50s ranging from 57 nM to 1.75 µM. APTO-253 (500 nM) also causes G0/G1 cell cycle arrest, induces apoptosis, and down regulates MYC RNA and protein expression in AML lines. APTO-253 (500 nM) leads to DNA damage response pathways in MV4-11 cells. Futhermore, APTO-253 is a potent stabilizer of Gquadruplex (G4) motifs, and demonstrates the greatest propensity for stabilizing the MYC G4 sequences[3].

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: 2.3 mg/mL (6.26 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic and warming

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.3 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (23.0 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: 2.08 mg/mL (5.66 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.08 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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.

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.
