    Description

    PX-12(IV-2) is an irreversible inhibitor of Thioredoxin-1 (Trx-1); inhibits the growth of MCF-7 and HT-29 cells with IC50 values of 1.9 and 2.9 μM, respectively.

    IC50 & Target

    IC50: 1.9 (MCF-7), 2.9 μM (HT-29 cells)[1]

    In Vitro

    PX-12 inhibits the growth of MCF-7 and HT-29 cells with IC50 values of 1.9 and 2.9 μM, respectively[1]. PX-12 particularly reduces the activity of Trx-1 by means of thio-alkylating critical cysteine residue (Cys73) which is located in the outside the conserved redox catalytic site of Trx-1. PX-12 affects the oxidation state of thiols in a number of cell surface proteins. Key surface receptors for platelet adhesion and activation are affected, including the collagen receptor GPVI and the von Willebrand factor receptor, GPIb. PX-12 inhibits thrombus formation over Type I collagen in whole blood under flow conditions[2]. Thioredoxin-1 (Trx-1) is a cellular redox protein that promotes tumor growth, inhibits apoptosis, and up-regulates hypoxia-inducible factor-1α and vascular endothelial growth factor[3]. PX-12 inhibits the growth of colorectal cancer DLD-1 and SW620 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. PX-12 reduces cell colony formation and induced a G2/M phase arrest of the cell cycle. PX-12 treatment induces apoptosis. PX-12 inhibits colorectal cancer cell migration and invasion. Treatment of cancer cells with PX-12 reduces NOX1, CDH17 and S100A4 mRNA expression, and increases KLF17 mRNA expression. PX-12 decreases S100A4 protein expression in the colorectal cancer cells[4].

    In Vivo

    PX-12 has been shown to have in vivo antitumor activity against human tumor xenografts including HT-29 colon cancer in SCID mice and has been tested in a phase I clinical trial in patients[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    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (13.28 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.
    • Protocol 2

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

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (13.28 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.

    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.
