Biological Activity

CPS I |
Carglumic acid suppresses cell viability in the pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cell lines, triple-negative breast cancer cell lines, hepatoma cell lines, and human non-small cell lung carcinoma cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of Carglumic acid against those cell lines is between 5 and 7.5 mM. The results show that Carglumic acid does not induce complete cell cycle arrest. Instead, there are more sub-G1 cells among Carglumic acid-treated AsPC1 and MDA-MB-231 cells than among untreated cells. In AsPC1 and HPDE-E6E7 cells, the IC50s of Carglumic acid are 5 mM and over 10 mM, respectively . In MDA-MB-231 and MCF-12A cells, the IC50s of Carglumic acid are 5 mM and 6 mM, respectively[1].

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 (13.15 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (13.15 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

Protocol
Caspase activity is measured by using a fluorimetric caspase-3 assay kit. In brief, cells that are treated with Carglumic Acid or that are left untreated are lysed in a lysis buffer, and 50 μg of protein lysate is incubated with Ac-DEVD-AMC substrate in the assay buffer for 1 h. The resultant fluorescence signals are read by using a fluorometer (excitation 360 nm, emission 460 nm), and the results are tabulated as fold changes relative to the untreated control cells[1].

Cell viability is evaluated by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. In brief, various cancer cell lines are seeded (1×104 cells/well) in a 96-well plate and treated with different doses of Carglumic Acid. After 48 h, 50 μL of MTT solution per well (stock solution concentration 5 mg/mL) is added to each well, and the cells are incubated for 2 h more, followed by addition of 100 μL of dimethyl sulfoxide to each well. Absorbance at 570 nm is measured immediately using a multiwell scanner[1].

For orthotopic cancer models, AsPC1/luc human pancreatic cancer cells (1×106) are injected into the pancreas of nude mice or MDA-MB-231 human triple-negative breast cancer cells (3×106) are injected into the mammary fat pad of nude mice. Carglumic acid is administered to mice 5 days after tumor inoculation in the pancreatic cancer model and 7 days after tumor inoculation in the triple-negative breast cancer model. Tumor-bearing mice receive a Carglumic acid dose of 120 mg/kg orally every day for 10 days, 60 mg/kg orally three times per week for 2 weeks, or 60 mg/kg intravenously three times per week for 2 weeks. Tumor volume is determined by measuring luciferase signals using the in vivo imaging system in the pancreatic cancer model[1].
