Description

XL888 is a heat shock protein-90 (HSP90) inhibitor, with an IC50 of 24 nM.

IC50 & Target[3]

HSP90

24 nM (IC50)

In Vitro

XL888 is a heat shock protein-90 (HSP90) inhibitor. Treatment with XL888 leads to dose dependent decreases in the growth of all the cell lines with no significant difference in IC50 values observed between the naive and resistance pairs of cell lines (t=0.25, p=0.82). Treatment of all of the vemurafenib resistant cell lines with XL888 (300 nM) induces high levels (>66%) of apoptosis, caspase-3 cleavage and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (TMRM) in every cell line tested. Treatment of cell lines that are naïve, intrinsically resistant and with acquired vemurafenib resistance with XL888 (300 nM) leads to robust time-dependent increases in the expression of HSP70 isoform 1 (HSP71)[2].

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

In Vivo

Treatment of the established M245 tumors with XL888 (125 mg/kg 3× week) leads to a significant slowing of tumor growth (P=0.017) without any effect upon animal weights. Analysis of xenograft specimens by LC-MRM shows a marked increase in intratumoral HSP70 expression following XL888 treatment[1]. It is noted that the XL888 is well tolerated by the mice, with no significant alterations in body weigh observed over the study period. LC-MRM mediated analysis of xenograft samples following 15-days of XL888 treatment shows a robust (8.6-fold) increase in intratumoral HSP70 expression compare to controls[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.

  • Protocol 1

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

    Solubility: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (2.48 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (12.5 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% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (2.48 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (12.5 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.

Cell Assay
[1]

Cells are plated in 96-well plates at 2×104 per well. Media with vehicle (DMSO) or XL888 (10, 30, 100 or 300 nM) is added the following day and replaced twice a week. After 4 weeks the plates are stained with crystal violet[1].

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

Animal Administration
[2]

BALB SCID mice are subcutaneously injected with 2.5×106 cells per mouse and grown to approximately 100 mm3 prior to dosing. Mice are treated with either XL888 100 mg/kg (n=5) or an equivalent volume of vehicle (10 mM HCl), 3× per week by oral gavage. Mouse weights and tumor volumes (L×W2/2) are measured 3× per week. Upon completion of the experiment, vehicle and drug treated tumor biopsies are processed for LC-MRM analysi[2].

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.
