In Vitro
TW-37 (TW37) is a novel nonpeptide small-molecule inhibitor designed using a structure-based design strategy. TW-37 targets the BH3-binding groove in Bcl-2 where proapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins, such as Bak, Bax, and Bid bind. In fluorescence polarization-based binding assays using recombinant Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL proteins, TW-37 binds to Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL with Ki values of 290 and 1110 nM, respectively. TW-37 has an IC50 of 1.8 μM for endothelial cells but shows no cytotoxic effects for fibroblasts at concentrations up to 50 μM. The mechanism of TW-37-induced endothelial cell death is apoptosis, in a process mediated by mitochondrial depolarization and activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3. The effect of TW-37 on endothelial cell apoptosis is not prevented by coexposure to the growth factor milieu secreted by tumor cells. Inhibition of the angiogenic potential of endothelial cells (i.e., migration and capillary sprouting assays) and expression of the angiogenic chemokines CXCL1 and CXCL8 are accomplished at subapoptotic TW-37 concentrations (0.005-0.05 μM)[1]. TW-37 is a potent Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 inhibitor. In fluorescence polarization-based binding assays using recombinant Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, and Mcl-1 proteins, TW-37 binds to Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, and Mcl-1 with Ki values of 290, 1,110 and 260 nM, respectively[2].

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.36 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.
