    Description

    NCT-503 is a phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH) inhibitor with an IC50 of 2.5 µM.

    IC50 & Target

    IC50: 2.5 µM (PHGDH)[1]

    In Vitro

    NCT-503, a PHGDH inhibitor, inhibits serine synthesis from 3-phosphoglycerate in cells (IC50=2.5 μM). NCT-503 is inactive against a panel of other dehydrogenases and shows minimal cross-reactivity in a panel of 168 GPCRs. Competition studies of NCT-503 against 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PG) and the co-substrate NAD+ reveal a non-competitive mode of inhibition with respect to both 3-PG and NAD+. NCT-503 has EC50s of 8–16 μM for the PHGDH-dependent cell lines, a 6- to 10-fold higher EC50 for MDA-MB-231 cells, and no toxicity towards other PHGDH-independent cell lines[1].

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

    In Vivo

    NCT-503 exhibits favorable absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) properties. NCT-503 has good exposure, half-life (2.5 hr) and Cmax (20 μM in plasma) following intraperitoneal administration with significant partitioning into the liver and brain. NCT-503 treatment reduces the growth and weight of PHGDH-dependent MDA-MB-468 xenografts but does not affect the growth or weight of PHGDH-independent MDA-MB-231 xenografts[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 (6.12 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.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.12 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

    For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
    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:  50% PEG300    50% Saline

      Solubility: 10 mg/mL (24.48 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    Cell Assay
    [1]

    MDA-MB-468, BT-20, MT-3 cells are seeded in white 96-well plates allowed to attach for 24 hours. Cells are treated with NCT-503 for four days. Cell viability is assessed with Cell Titer-Glo and luminescence measured with a plate reader[1].

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

    Animal Administration
    [1]

    Mice: Chronic catheters are surgically implanted into the jugular veins of normal or tumor bearing animals 3-4 days prior to infusions. Following administration of either vehicle or NCT-503 at 30 mg/kg, a constant infusion of U-13C-glucose (30 mg/kg/min) is administered for a 3-hour duration. Animals are terminally anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital and all tissues are fully harvested in less than 5 minutes to preserve the metabolic state. Tumors and adjacent lung tissue are carefully dissected and rapidly frozen for analysis[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.
