Description

THZ2 is a potent and selective CDK7 inhibitor with an IC50 of 13.9 nM.

IC50 & Target[1]

CDK7

13.9 nM (IC50)

CDK1

96.9 nM (IC50)

CDK2

222 nM (IC50)

CDK5

134 nM (IC50)

CDK9

194 nM (IC50)

CDK8

6830 nM (IC50)

In Vitro

THZ2 selectively targets CDK7 and potently inhibits the growth of triple-negative but not ER/PR+ breast cancer cells. THZ2 at low nanomolar doses also efficiently suppresses the clonogenic growth of TNBC cells with IC50 of appr 10 nM. THZ2 induces apoptotic cell death in triple-negative but not ER/PR+ breast cancer cells or normal human cells[1].

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

In Vivo

THZ2 (10 mg/Kg) markedly reduces the growth rate of tumors in mice and demonstrates an anti-tumor activity. Compared to vehicle-treated tumors, tumor tissues isolated from mice treated with THZ2 has reduced proliferation and increased apoptosis, as indicated by immunostaining against Ki67 and cleaved Caspase 3 respectively. THZ2 in NOD-SCID mice leads to reduced body weight, suggesting that THZ2 mayt be less well-tolerated in this particular mouse strain[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: ≥ 2.17 mg/mL (3.83 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.17 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (21.7 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: ≥ 2.17 mg/mL (3.83 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.17 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 (21.7 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Cell Assay
[1]

For 96-well plate assay, cells are plated at the density of 2000 cells per well, and on the next day treated with THZ1 or THZ2 of various concentrations. After 48-hour incubation, cells are fixed and stained with crystal violet. The staining is then extracted by adding each well with 10% acetic acid, with absorbance measured at 590 nm with 750 nm as a reference.

Animal Administration
[1]

Mice: Nude mice (CrTac:NCr-Foxn1nu) are γ-irradiated with a single dose of 400 rads six hours before transplantation of cells. Breast cancer cells are harvested and resupended in 40% Matrigel-Basement Membrane Matrix, LDEV-free, and then injected (100 μL per site) into the fourth pair of mammary fat pads of mice. Tumors are measured in two dimensions by using manual calipers. Tumor volume is calculated using the formula: V=0.5× length × width × width. Animal with tumor established (mean tumor volume of appr 200 mm3) are randomLy divided into two groups, which are then treated with vehicle (10% DMSO in D5W, 5% dextrose in water) or THZ2 (3 mg/mL, prepared in vehicle solutions) at the dose of 10 mg/kg intraperitoneally twice daily. Tumor volume is measure every 2-3 days. Upon harvesting tumors, tumors are cut into half, with one half fixed in formalin overnight and then in 70% ethanol for histopathology analysis, and the other half snap frozen in liquid nitrogen for immunoblotting.

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.
