    In Vitro

    Brusatol (0.05, 0.15, 0.45, 1.35, 4.05 and 12.15 μg/mL) reduces the viability of CT-26 cells in a dose-dependent manner with IC50 value of 0.27±0.01μg/mL. When Brusatol is combined with Cisplatin (CDDP) at a constant concentration ratio of 1:1, cell growth inhibition is markedly enhanced compared with single-agent treatment; the IC50 value of Brusatol and CDDP cotreatment is 0.19±0.02μg/mL[2].
    Brusatol provokes a rapid and transient depletion of Nrf2 protein, through a posttranscriptional mechanism, in mouse Hepa-1c1c7 hepatoma cells. Brusatol sensitizes mammalian cells to chemical toxicity[3].

    In Vivo

    Brusatol is able to reach the tumor tissue and inhibit the Nrf2 pathway. Nude mice are injected with A549 cells to induce tumor growth, followed by a single i.p. injection of 2 mg/kg Brusatol. Nrf2 protein levels are significantly decreased at 24 h or 48 h postinjection[1].
    Cisplatin (2 mg/kg) or Brusatol (2 mg/kg) alone does not inhibit tumor growth significantly, whereas in the combination group, tumor size is significantly reduced[1]. "

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

    Animal Model: Athymic nude mice 4-6 wk old bearing A549 xenografts[1]
    Dosage: 2 mg/kg
    Administration: Treated i.p.; Cisplatin (2 mg/kg), Brusatol (2 mg/kg), or in combination every other day for a total of five times
    Result: Nrf2 protein levels were significantly decreased at 24 h or 48 h postinjection.
    Cisplatin or Brusatol alone did not inhibit tumor growth significantly, whereas in the combination group, tumor size was significantly reduced. "

    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 (4.80 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 (4.80 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.

    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.
