    In Vitro

    Dactolisib (BEZ235) potently inhibits PI3K in an ATP Competitive Manner. Dactolisib (BEZ235) (250 nM) significantly reduced the phosphorylation levels of the mTOR activated kinase p70S6K. Dactolisib (BEZ235) also leads to a reduction of S235/S236P-RPS6 levels with an IC50 of 6.5 nM, suggesting that Dactolisib (BEZ235) can directly inhibit the mTOR kinase, as the kinase domain of mTOR is highly homologous to the one of class IA PI3K. The activity of Dactolisib (BEZ235) against mTOR is confirmed using a biochemical mTOR K-LISA assay (IC50, 20.7 nM)[1].
    The IC50s of Dactolisib (BEZ235) for HCT116, DLD-1, and SW480 cell lines are 14.3±6.4, 9.0±1.5, and 12.0±1.6 nM, respectively[2].

    In Vivo

    Dactolisib (BEZ235) (45 mg/kg, p.o.) treatment induces colonic tumor regression in a GEM model for sporadic PIK3CA wild-type CRC[2]. Dactolisib (BEZ235) (45 mg/kg) is administered to MENX rats (n=2 each group) by oral gavage and animals are sacrificed 1 or 6 hours after treatment. Immunostains for P-AKT and P-S6 show considerable reduction of the two proteins, and particularly of P-S6, 6 hours after administration of Dactolisib (BEZ235) when compares with PEG-treated rats. At 6 hours after treatment, the pituitary adenomas of Dactolisib (BEZ235)-treated rats has a proteomic profile significantly different from the tumors of placebo-treated rats[3].

    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.

    Cell Assay
    [2]

    HCT116 (PIK3CA mutant; kinase domain at H1047R), DLD-1 (PIK3CA mutant; helical domain at E545K), and SW480 (PIK3CA wild-type) human CRC cell lines (ATCC) and isogenic DLD-1 PIK3CA mutant and wild-type cells are maintained in DMEM. Cells are plated at different initial densities (HCT116: 3,000 cells/well, DLD-1: 5,500 cells/well, SW480: 4,500 cells/well, DLD-1 PIK3CA mutant: 7,000 cells/well, and DLD-1 PIK3CA wild-type: 9,000 cells/well) to account for differential growth kinetics. After 16 hours, cells are incubated with increasing concentrations of BEZ235 (10, 100, 1000 nM), and drug-containing growth medium is changed every 24 hours. Cell viability is assessed 16 hours after the initial plating and 48 hours after initiation of drug treatment using the colorimetric MTS assay CellTiter 96 AQueous One Solution Cell Proliferation Assay. Cell viability after drug treatment is normalized to that of untreated cells also grown for 48 hours. IC50 values are calculated using 4 parameter nonlinear regression in GraphPad Prism 5[2].

    Animal Administration
    [2][3]

    Mice[2]
    Tumor-bearing Apc CKO mice are randomly assigned to treatment with either control vehicle alone (n=8) or 45 mg/kg body weight BEZ235 in 10% 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone/90% PEG 300 (n=8) by daily oral gavage for 28 days. The treatment dose is chosen based on literature indicating that 40-50 mg/kg body weight BEZ235 effectively treats murine tumor models without adverse effects. Base on pharmacokinetic studies demonstrating maximal tissue concentration one hour after NVP-BEZ235 administration, tumor-bearing mice are sacrificed one hour after final treatment dose. Colonic tumor volume is assessed using calipers (width×length×height) and tumors are harvested for both western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry.
    Rats[3]
    MENX-affected rats used. Three doses of BEZ235 are tested in MENX rats: 20, 30, and 45 mg/kg. As the two higher doses causes a weight loss >10% after 10 days of treatment, the dose of 20 mg/kg is used for further studies. For MRI studies, MENX-affected rats at 7 to 8 months of age (with sizeable adenomas but still in good general health) are treated for 14 days with BEZ235 (20 mg/kg) or placebo (PEG) administered daily per oral gavage.

    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.
