    Description

    MBQ-167 is a dual Rac/Cdc42 inhibitor, with IC50s of 103 nM for Rac 1/2/3 and 78 nM for Cdc42 in MDA-MB-231 cells, respectively.

    IC50 & Target

    78 nM (IC50)

    Ras 1/2/3

    103 nM (IC50)

    In Vitro

    MBQ-167 (≥100 nM) induces a loss of polarity in metastatic breast cancer cells. Treatment with 500 nM MBQ-167 for 24 h results in ~95% cell rounding and detachment from the substratum in metastatic MDA-MB-231 cells. Moreover, MBQ-167 induces this phenotype in multiple mesenchymal cancer cell types including GFP-HER2-BM, MDA-MB-468, and Hs578t human breast cancer cells, as well as Mia-PaCa-2 pancreatic cancer cells, SKOV3 ovarian cancer cells, AGS and NCI-N87 gastric cancer cells, and SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. Following treatment with 250 nM MBQ-167 for 24 h, the attached population of MDA-MB-231 cells demonstrate a ~25% decrease in Rac activation while the detached cells are more responsive with a ~75% decrease. At earlier times (6h), treatment with 250 or 500 nM MBQ-167, induce a inhibition in Rac activity in the attached cell population, while the detached population demonstrate a ~40-50% inhibition[1].

    In Vivo

    MBQ-167-treated mice demonstrate a statistically significant reduction in tumor growth. At sacrifice, 1.0 mg/kg BW of MBQ-167 results in a ~80% reduction in tumor growth, and the 10 mg/kg BW MBQ-167 treatment results in ~95% reduction in tumor growth. Since EHop-016 only exerts ~40% reduction of tumor growth at 10 mg/kg BW, MBQ-167 is 10X more effective than EHop-016. MBQ-167 treated mice demonstrate similar doubling times for both treatments (10 and 11 days)[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: 2.5 mg/mL (7.39 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

      This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 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 (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.

    Animal Administration
    [1]

    Mice[1]
    Female athymic nu/nu mice, 4 to 5wk old are used. GFP-HER2-BM cells (~5×105) in Matrigel are injected at the fourth right mammary fat pad under isofluorane inhalation to produce orthotopic primary tumors. After tumor establishment (1wk post-inoculation), animals are randomly divided into treatment groups (n=6). Mice are treated with vehicle (12.5% ethanol, 12.5% Cremophor, and 75% 1X PBS pH 7.4), or 1 or 10 mg/kg BW MBQ-167 by i.p. injection in a 100 μL volume 3X a wk. Treatments continue until sacrifice at day 65[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.
