    Description

    C75 is a synthetic fatty-acid synthase (FASN) inhibitor; inhibits prostate cancer cells PC3 with an IC50 of 35 μM[1][2][3]. C75 is a potent CPT1A activator[5].

    IC50 & Target

    IC50: 35 μM (PC3 cell)[1]

    In Vitro

    C75 inhibits PC3 cell growht with an IC50 of 35 μM at 24 h. C75 (10-50 μM) also reduces the growth of LNCaP spheroids in a concentration-dependent manner with an IC50 of 50 μM[1]. (-)-C75 inhibits FAS activity and has a cytotoxic effect on tumor cell lines, without affecting food consumption. (+)-C75 inhibits CPT1 and its administration produces anorexia, suggesting that central inhibition of CPT1 is essential for the anorectic effect of C75. The differential activity of C75 enantiomers may lead to the development of potential new specific drugs for cancer and obesity[2].

    In Vivo

    C75 blocks fasting-induced c-Fos expression in the arcuate nucleus (Arc), lateral hypothalamic area (LHA), and paraventricular nucleus (PVN) 10–24 h after i.p. injection. Intraperitoneal administration of C75 at 30 mg/kg body weight inhibits food intake of mice by ≥95% within 2 h after i.p. injection[3]. C75-treated DIO mice has a 50% greater weight loss, and a 32.9% increased production of energy because of fatty acid oxidation. C75 treatment of rodent adipocytes and hepatocytes and human breast cancer cells increases fatty acid oxidation and ATP levels by increasing CPT-1 activity, even in the presence of elevated concentrations of malonyl-CoA[4].

    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 (9.83 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 (9.83 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
    [1]

    Cells are seeded in 96-well plates and incubated for 2 days to allow exponential phase growth. Cells are then ished twice with PBS and treated with C75. After 24 or 48 h incubation, MTT is added to a final concentration of 0.5 mg/ml and cultures are incubated for 2 h. Cells are then solubilized with DMSO before measuring absorbance at 570 nm. Cell growth is also measured, using MTT assay, every 24 h up to 96 h[1].

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

    Animal Administration
    [3]

    Mice: C75 is administered either by i.p. (i.p.; 30 mg/kg of body weight) or i.c.v. (10 μg in 3 μL of RPMI medium 1640) injection. One, 11.5, and 24 h after i.p. injection, cumulative food intake is measured, mice are killed, brains are sectioned, and slices are subjected to immunohistochemical staining for c-Fos. All i.p. injections are given 1 h before the start of the dark cycle. For i.c.v. injection, mice are anesthetized with metofane and given 3 μl of RPMI medium 1640 (control) or C75 in RPMI medium 1640 into the lateral ventricle with a calibrated 10-μl Hamilton syringe[3].

    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.
