    In Vitro

    I-BET151 (1 μM; 72 hours) treatment displays the majority of live cells resided in the G0 phase and commensurate with a dose- and time-dependent decrease in cell proliferation and abrogation of bromodeoxyuridine incorporation[2].
    I-BET151 (100 nM; 72 hours) causes a significant dose- and time-dependent decrease in the proportion of myeloma cells in S/G2 phase[2].

    Cell Proliferation Assay[2]

    Cell Line: H929 cells

    Incubation Time: 72 hours
    Result: Caused a significant dose- and time-dependent decrease in the proportion of myeloma cells in S/G2 phase.
    In Vivo

    I-BET151 demonstrates low blood clearance in the rat (~20% liver blood flow) and good oral systemic exposure which resulted in good oral bioavailability. High clearance is observed in the dog (~95% liver blood flow). The systemic exposure in the dog is low, resulting in a poor oral bioavailability of 16%. The high blood clearance in dog correlates well with the high intrinsic clearance observed in dog microsomes and hepatocytes, whereas the low intrinsic clearances seen in rat and mouse (mouse IVC 1.6 mL/min/g; CLb 8 mL/min/kg) correlate with lower in vivo blood clearances in these species. Due to the low systemic exposure observed in the dog, I-BET151 is investigated in the mini-pig as a potential second species for toxicological evaluation where it showed low clearance (~32% liver blood flow) and good bioavailability (65%)[1].
    I-BET151 (30 mg/kg; i.p.; daily for 21 days)-treats mice has four- to five fold smaller myeloma tumors and a significantly reduces rate of tumor size doubling than vehicle-treated mice[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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.02 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 (6.02 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.

    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.
