    Description

    Adarotene is an effective apoptosis inducer, which surprisingly produces DNA damage and exhibites a potent antiproliferative activity on a large panel of human tumor cells.

    In Vitro

    Adarotene causes a dose-dependent growth inhibition in a large panel of human tumor cell lines with IC50 ranging from 0.1 to 0.3 µM. Adarotene causes cell accumulation in G1/S or S phase of cell cycle depending on tumor cells IGROV-1 and DU145[1]. Adarotene is apoptotic and cytotoxic on a large spectrum of cancerous and leukemic cells, including freshly isolated AML blasts in primary culture. The molecular target of ST1926 apoptotic activity in myeloid leukemia cells is similar to the ligand-binding domain of RARγ. Adarotene treatment of cells results in rapid accumulation of intracellular calcium[2].

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

    In Vivo

    Adarotene (15, 20 mg/kg, p.o.) causes a significant tumor growth inhibition in a human ovarian carcinoma, A2780/DX, and in a human melanoma, MeWo, growing in nude mice[1]. Adarotene (30, 40 mg/kg, p.o.) results in a significant and dose-dependent increase in the life span of NB4-bearing SCID mice without overt toxicity[2].

    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 (6.68 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 (6.68 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
    [2]

    Briefly, cells (1×107/mL) are loaded with 1 μM FURA-2 at 37°C in the dark for 30 minutes, washed twice, resuspended in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 1.26 mM CaCl2 at 106 cells/mL and then used for the experiments. Dual excitation, alternating at 340 nm and 380 nm, is provided by a spectrophotofluorometer equipped with 2 excitation monochromators, and emission is fixed at 480 nm. The temperature is set at 37°C±1°C. In some experiments, to eliminate extracellular calcium, cells preloaded with FURA-2 are resuspended in PBS without Ca2+, and 0.5 mM EGTA (ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid) is added to each sample prior to addition of the appropriate stimulus.

    Animal Administration
    [2]

    NB4 cells (3×106) are intraperitoneally inoculated in SCID mice (8 mice/group). ST1926 is dissolved in cremophor/ethanol 1:1 solution, and diluted 1:10 in PBS at the concentration of 50 mg/kg; the doses of 30 mg/kg and 40 mg/kg are then prepared by appropriate dilutions in the same vehicle. ATRA is dissolved in the dark in Cremophor EL and kept magnetically stirred; the solution is then diluted 1:10 in PBS at the final concentration of 40 mg/kg. Both compounds are administered intraperitoneally and orally twice per day for 3 weeks starting from the day after cell inoculation, in a volume of 10 mL/kg. During treatments body weight and lethality are registered.

    • 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.
