Description

IC₅₀ & Target

Folate receptor alpha^[1]

In Vitro

EC-17 contains the fluorescein fluorochrome and has a spectral wavelength of 490-530 nm. EC-17 is synthesized by a folate (vitamin B9) and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) conjugated through an ethylenediamine spacer to produce folate-FITC, with a molecular weight of 917 kDa. FITC is a derivative of fluorescein functionalized with an isothiocyanate reactive group. The folate-FITC conjugate forms a negatively charged fluorescent molecule that specifically targets cell-surface FRα and is subsequently internalized into the cytoplasm. The signal-to-background ratio (SBR) of EC-17 for HeLa cells range from 0.97 to 7.32 depending on the molarity and concentration of cancer cells^[1].

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

In Vivo

The mean fluorescence signal from the animals injected with EC-17 to be 42,234 ± 12,234 au^[1]. Fluorescence microscopy for folate-FITC shows a strong signal in all malignant tumors with FR-α expression and no signal in FR-α–negative malignant or benign lesions^[2].

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: 1.6 mg/mL (1.75 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

This protocol yields a suspended solution of 1.6 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 (16.0 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: 1.6 mg/mL (1.75 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

This protocol yields a suspended solution of 1.6 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 (16.0 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.

The concentration of the stock solution you require exceeds the measured solubility. The following solution is for reference only. If necessary, please contact MedChemExpress (MCE).

Method for preparing in vivo working solution for animal experiments: Take μL DMSO stock solution, add μL . μL , mix evenly, next add μL Tween 80, mix evenly, then add μL Saline.

If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.

Cell Assay ^[1]	KB, HeLa, and TC1 cells are plated on a cell culture treated 6-well plate and incubated for 16 hours. Once confluent, EC-17 is added cells. The cells are incubated and sealed in a light-protected environment for 45 minutes. Cells are then washed 3 times with PBS and plated and underwent fluorescence microscopy^[1]. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Animal Administration ^[1]	Mice^[1] Mice are injected subcutaneously in the flank with 1.2×10⁶ TC1 cells (C57BL/6 mice), 1.0×10⁶ HeLa cells (NOD.Cg-Prkdc^scid Il2rg^tm1Wjl/SzJ mice), or 1.0×106 KB cells (NOD.Cg-Prkdc^scid, Il2rg^tm1Wjl/SzJ mice). Once tumor volume reached approximately 300 mm³ half of the mice are injected with 0.1 mg/kg of EC-17 and the other half with 0.1 mg/kg of OTL38 via tail vein. Three hours later, the fluorescence of tumors is measured using Flocam^[1]. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
