Description

PLX7904 is a potent and selective BRAF inhibitor, with IC50 of appr 5 nM against BRAFV600E in mutant RAS expressing cells.

IC50 & Target[2]

BRafV600E

5 nM (IC50, in mutant RAS expressing cells)

In Vitro

PLX7904 inhibits the in vitro growth of two melanoma cell lines (A375 and COLO829) and an additional human colorectal cancer cell line COLO205 that expresses BRAFV600E with IC50 values of 0.17 μM, 0.53 μM, and 0.16 μM, respectively, on a par with vemurafenib IC50 values in the same assays (0.33 μM, 0.69 μM, and 0.25 μM, respectively)[1]. PLX7904 and PLX8394 potently inhibit ERK1/2-driven GAL4-Elk1 reporter activity in PRT cells as well as parental cells. PLX7904 and PLX8394 treatment at 1 μM concentration reduce colony formation and viability in parental cells to a similar level as PLX4720[2]. PPLX7904 potently inhibits phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in mutant BRAF melanoma cells without eliciting paradoxical activation in wild-type BRAF, mutant NRAS melanoma cells. PPLX7904 inhibits ERK1/2 in PLX470-resistant cell lines. PPLX7904 treatment promotes apoptosis and inhibits anchorage-independent growth of vemurafenib resistant cells[3].

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 (4.88 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.

Cell Assay
[2]

For MTT assays, 2×103 cells are seeded in triplicate in 96 wells in their regular culture medium (containing PLX4720 for PRT lines). Next day, cells are washed twice with PBS and then the medium is replenished containing the indicated RAF inhibitor. Medium is changed 48 hours later and after a further 48 hours, 10 μL of 5 mg/mL MTT reagent is added to wells, and incubated for three hours. Formazan crystals are then solubilized overnight with a 1:10 dilution of 0.1 M glycine (pH 10.5) in DMSO. Wells are then analyzed at 450 nM in a Multiskan® Spectrum spectrophotometer. Results depicted are normalized to DMSO conditions and are a composite of three independent experiments. Error bars shown are representative of the standard error of mean (SEM).

Animal Administration
[1]

COLO205 tumour cells are cultured in DMEM 10% FBS 1% penicillin/streptomycin supplemented with bovine insulin, at 37°C. Balb/C nude mice, female, 6-8 weeks old, weighing approximately 18-22 g, are inoculated subcutaneously at the right flank with COLO205 tumour cells (5×106) in 0.1 mL of PBS mixed with matrigel (50:50) for tumour development. The treatment is started when mean tumour size reach approximately 100 mm3, with eight mice in each treatment group randomized to balance the average weight and tumour size. B9 cells are expanded in DMEM 10% FBS 1% penicillin/streptomycin. Upon trypsinization the cells are washed three times with 20 mL RPMI, and after the final centrifugation are re-suspended, counted, and adjusted by volume to a final concentration of 5×107 cells per millilitre. B9 xenografts are started by injection of 5×106 cells subcutaneously in 6- to 7-week-old female nude Balb/c mice. Compound dosing starts when the average size of tumours reach 50-70 mm3. Animals are equally distributed over treatment groups (n=10) to balance the average tumour size and body weight. Animals are dosed orally for days 1-14 twice daily and days 15-28 once daily with vehicle, vemurafenib 50 mg per kg, or PLX7904 50 mg per kg. 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) is put on the skin of all mice twice a week during weeks 3 and 4 at a dose of 2 µg in 200 µL acetone.

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.
