    In Vitro

    BAY-2402234 is a selective low-nanomolar inhibitor of human DHODH enzymatic activity. In vitro, it potently inhibits proliferation of AML cell lines in the sub-nanomolar to low-nanomolar range. BAY-2402234 induces differentiation of AML cell lines also in a sub-nanomolar to low-nanomolar range, demonstrating the anticipated mode of action in cellular mechanistic assays[1].

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

    In Vivo

    BAY-2402234 exhibits strong in vivo anti-tumor efficacy in monotherapy in several subcutaneous and disseminated AML xenografts as well as AML patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. Target engagement of the novel DHODH inhibitor BAY-2402234 can be observed by increase of tumoral and plasma dihydroorotate levels after treatment with the inhibitor. Consistent with the in vitro data BAY-2402234 induces AML differentiation in vivo as detected by upregulation of differentiation cell surface markers in xenograft and PDX models after treatment with the inhibitor. Furthermore, differentiation-associated transcriptomic changes are evident following a single administration of BAY-2402234 in vivo[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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (3.99 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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 (3.99 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      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.
