Description

MSX-122 is an orally active partial antagonist of CXCR4, inhibiting CXCR4/CXCL12 actions, with an IC50 of ∼10 nM. MSX-122 has anti-inflammatory and anti-metastatic activity.

IC50 & Target[1]

CXCR4/CXCL12

~10 nM (IC50)

In Vitro

MSX-122 is a partial antagonist of CXCR4, inhibiting CXCR4/CXCL12 actions, with an IC50 of ∼10 nM. MSX-122 shows no inhibition on cAMP reduction mediated by their corresponding ligands CCR3/CCL5 and CCR5/CCL5. MSX-122 (100 nM) potently blocks invasion of 78% MDA-MB-231 cells. However, MSX-122 does not suppress T-tropic HIV infection and is inactive in calcium flux assay[1].

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

In Vivo

MSX-122 (10 mg/kg, i.p.) blocks inflammation induced by carrageenan and lung fibrosis induced by bleomycin in mice. MSX-122 (4 mg/kg, i.p., daily) blocks metastasis in an experimental animal model of breast cancer metastasis. Furthermore, MSX-122 (10 mg/kg i.p., daily) significantly decreases the numbers of hepatic micrometastases[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: ≥ 0.4 mg/mL (1.37 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.4 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (4.0 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: ≥ 0.4 mg/mL (1.37 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.4 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (4.0 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.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
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:  0.5% CMC-Na/saline water

    Solubility: 10 mg/mL (34.21 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

Animal Administration

Mice[1]
Six- to eight-week-old female nude mice are given injections of 1.5×106 MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells mixed with the compound (1 µM, less than 5 min preincubation) through the tail vein (10/group). From the following day, mice in the treated group are given 4 mg/kg MSX-122ms (salt form) daily by i.p. injection. The animals are sacrificed 35 days after the tumor cell injection. Whole lung tissues are harvested and sectioned for real-time RT-PCR for human CXCR4 and H&E histostaining to evaluate the metastatic tumor area in five fields per section microscopically. These experiments are repeated once more to confirm the results. For the head and neck cancer animal model, metastatic subclones of 686LN-Ms cells are injected in the same way as MDA-MB-231 cells. [18F]FDG-PET is performed. For the uveal melanoma micrometastasis mouse model, on day 0, each mouse is inoculated with 1×106 wild-type OMM2.3 cells expressing HGF/TGF-β/CXCR4/MMP2 into the posterior chamber of right eye. On day 3, mice are treated with 10 mg/kg MSX-122 in 0.1 mL volume of 45% CD daily by i.p. injection, whereas the control mice are injected with 0.1 mL 45% CD only. On day 7, eyes with tumor are enucleated. The growth of tumor is checked by histological methods. On day 28, hepatic tissues are collected and fixed in 10% formalin, processed, H&E stained, and the number of hepatic micrometastases is counted under microscope. Six sections through the center of the liver are microscopically examined for the presence of micrometastases (<100 µm diameter) and the average number of micrometastases per section is determined. Ten mice per group are used. A table summarizing animal experiments for three metastasis models can be found in the Data S3[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.
