BS-181 promotes cell cycle arrest and inhibits cancer cell growth, and growth is inhibited for all cell lines tested, with IC50 values ranging from 11.5 to 37 μM. BS-181 inhibits RB phosphorylation at Ser795 and Ser821 with an apparent IC50 of 15 μM, similar to the IC50 obtained for P-Ser2 inhibition. BS-181 treatment of MCF-7 cells leads to G1 arrest at and apoptosis[1]. BS-181 inhibits GC cell and normal gastric epithelial RGM-1 cell line growth with inhibitory concentration (IC50) ranging from 17 to 22 μM and 6.5 μM, respectively. BS-181 significantly inhibits cell migration and invasion ability in a dose-dependent manner[2].

Solvent & Solubility
H2O : 100 mg/mL (239.81 mM; Need ultrasonic)
DMSO : ≥ 50 mg/mL (119.91 mM; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
* "≥" means soluble, but saturation unknown.
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 2 years; -20°C, 1 year (sealed storage, away from moisture). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 2 years. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 year.
* Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution, then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 3 mg/mL (7.19 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 3 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (30.0 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 3 mg/mL (7.19 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 3 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (30.0 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.
Add each solvent one by one: PBS

This product has good water solubility, please refer to the measured solubility data in water/PBS/Saline for details.
Protocol
Cell viability is detected using Cell Counting Kit (CCK-8 kit) according to supplier’s introductions. Briefly, BGC823 cells are seeded at 104 cells per well for 48 hours with or without BS-181. Then, the absorbance is detected at 450 nm (reference at 650 nm) in each well.
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
In total, 5×106 BGC823 cells (0.1 mL) are injected subcutaneously into the flank of the mice. Tumor measurements are performed two times per week, and volumes are calculated using the formula: tumor size=(length ×width2)/2. Finally, 30 mice (tumor volume 100-200 mm3) are selected and randomLy assigned into three groups. As previously described, BS-181 is prepared in 10% dimethyl sulfoxide/50 mM HCl/5% Tween 20/85% saline. Micereceive BS-181 injection (ip) twice daily at indicated doses (BS-181 [10 mg/kg/d or 20 mg/kg/d] or Roscovitine [20 mg/kg/d]) for a total of 14 days. Control mice are injected with vehicles. Animal weights and tumor volume are measured each day throughout the 14-day treatment. In addition, all rats are kept for another 30 days for survival observation. Mice are injected intraperitoneally twice daily with BS-181 at 5 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg.
