Description

OTX008 is a selective inhibitor of galectin-1.

IC50 & Target

Galectin-1

 

In Vitro

Growth inhibitory concentrations (GI50) of OTX008 in a large panel of human solid tumour cell lines ranges from 3 to 500 μM. A significant correlation between OTX008 GI50 values and Gal1 mRNA (LGALS1) and protein expression levels in the panel of cancer cells is observed. In SQ20B and A2780-1A9 cells, OTX008 inhibits Gal1 expression and ERK1/2 and AKT-dependent survival pathways, and induces G2/M cell cycle arrest through CDK1. OTX008 enhances the anti-proliferative effects of Semaphorin-3A (Sema3A) in SQ20B cells and reverses invasion induced by exogenous Gal1[1]. OTX008 affects endothelial cell proliferation, motility, invasiveness, and cord formation. Tumor cell proliferation is also inhibited, with differences in sensitivity among cell lines (IC50 from 1 to 190 μM)[2].

In Vivo

OTX008 inhibits growth of A2780-1A9 xenografts. OTX008 treatment is associated with down-regulation of Gal1 and Ki67 in treated tumours, as well as decreased microvessel density and VEGFR2 expression. Finally, combination studies show OTX008 synergy with several cytotoxic and targeted therapies, principally when OTX008 is administered first[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% EtOH    90% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (1.33 mM); Clear solution

  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (0.53 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (5.0 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.

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:  PBS

    Solubility: 0.5 mg/mL (0.53 mM); Clear solution; Need ultrasonic and warming and heat to 60°C

Mice[1]
A total of 8×106 A2780-1A9 ovarian cells are injected subcutaneously into the right lateral flank of female nu/nu athymic mice. Once tumours are palpable (50 mm3), mice are randomised to receive treatment intraperitoneally with either PBS (3 times/week), 5 mg/kg OTX008 (3 times/week), 6 mg/kg cisplatin (days 1, 8 and 15) or 10 mg/kg docetaxel (days 1, 8 and 15). Tumour size was measured twice weekly with calipers and tumour volume is calculated as 3.14×(width2)/length[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.
