Description

CTX1 is a p53 activator that overcomes HdmX-mediated p53 repression. CTX1 exhibits potent anti-cancer activity in a mouse acute myeloid leukemia (AML) model system[1].

IC50 & Target

p53[1]

In Vitro

CTX1 binds directly to HdmX to prevent p53-HdmX complex formation, resulting in the rapidly induction of p53 in a DNA damage-independent manner[1].

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

In Vivo

CTX1 ( (30 mg/kg; i.p.; five days a week; for 3 weeks) significantly enhances the survival of mice in AML model system[1].
CTX1 exhibited significant anti-cancer activity alone as well as in combination with nutlin-3[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: 1.25 mg/mL (5.34 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 1.25 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (12.5 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: 1.25 mg/mL (5.34 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 1.25 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (12.5 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.

Kinase Assay
[1]

Exponentially growing OCI cells cultures are treated with 3 μM CTX1, 8 μM Nutlin and or 15 μM RO-5963 for 4.5 hrs. Whole-cell extracts are generated using modified RIPA lysis buffer 25 mM Tris (pH 8.0), 100 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM EDTA, 0.50% NP-40 and complete protease mixture tablet. Protein extracts (~750 μg) are precleared and immune precipitation is performed using a kit according to the manufacturer's protocol. For the immunoprecipitation, mouse monoclonal anti-p53 and rabbit polyclonal anti-HDMX are used. Immune complexes are then collected, proteins are eluted and subjected to Western blotting with the indicated antibodies[1].

Animal Administration
[1]

6 week old female NOD/SCID/IL2Rγ−/− mice are injected into the tail vein with 5×106 cells primary human AML cells (n=5 per group). Drug treatment is started 2 days after tumor cell injection. Nutlin-3 is given by oral gavage (200 mg/kg) and CTX1 is injected i.p. (30 mg/kg) five days a week for 3 weeks. Flow cytometry is performed on bone marrow cells isolated from the mouse femur using a human specific CD45PE antibody using a cytometer to confirm AML infiltration into the bone marrow[1].

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.
