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].

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : 21.67 mg/mL (38.28 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 2 years; -20°C, 1 year. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 2 years. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 year.

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: ≥ 2.17 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.

The co-solvents required include: DMSO, . All of co-solvents are available by MedChemExpress (MCE). , Tween 80. All of co-solvents are available by MedChemExpress (MCE).
Working solution concentration: 0.22 mg/mL
Method for preparing stock solution: mg drug dissolved in μL DMSO. Stock solution concentration: mg/mL.
1. Take μL DMSO stock solution;
2. Add μL .
μL , mix evenly;
3. Then add μL Tween 80, mix evenly;
4. Then add μL
Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.
Protocol
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.

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.
