In Vitro

Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) is a heterodimeric heme protein and the primary NO receptor. Lificiguat (YC-1) binds near or directly to the heme-containing domain of the beta subunit. In the absence of CO, Lificiguat (YC-1) binds with K_d=9-21 μM, depending on construct. In the presence of CO, these values decrease to 0.6-1.1 μM. Lificiguat (YC-1) greatly enhanced CO binding to heterodimeric sGC, as expected (K_d=1 μM). Lificiguat (YC-1) stimulates sGC two- to four-fold in the absence of NO but acts synergistically with CO or NO to achieve several hundred fold activation. Binding of Lificiguat(YC-1) can also overcome inhibitory phosphorylation of sGC^[1]. Lificiguat (YC-1) is a soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) activator. HCC cell lines HepG2, BEL-7402 and HCCLM3 are incubated for 72 h with Sorafenib and/or Lificiguat (YC-1). Sorafenib or Lificiguat (YC-1) alone inhibits HCC cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, combination of Sorafenib and Lificiguat (YC-1) significantly suppresses proliferation of HCC cells in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, at the ED₅₀ doses for both Sorafenib and Lificiguat (YC-1), combination index values (CI)=0.93 in HepG2, 0.95 in BEL-7402 and 0.72 in HCCLM3 respectively, suggesting that Sorafenib and Lificiguat (YC-1) synergistically inhibit proliferation of HCC cells^[2].

In Vivo

Lificiguat (YC-1) (30 or 60 mg/kg, i.p.) inhibits MDA-MB-468 tumor growth in a dose-dependent manner. The effect of the prodrug formulation of Lificiguat (YC-1), YC-1-S, in MDA-MB-468 tumor-bearing mice is also investigated. In vivo pharmacokinetic analysis reveal that YC-1-S is quickly converted into its active form. Mice are administered 20, 40 or 80 mg/kg YC-1-S p.o. YC-1-S also displays dose-dependent inhibition of MDA-MB468 tumor growth. Both Lificiguat (YC-1) and YC-1-S dose-dependently reduce tumor weight. Moreover, the mean body weight of mice is not affected by Lificiguat (YC-1) or YC-1-S compare with vehicle-treated groups^[3]. Lificiguat (YC-1) is a potent NO-GC activator reported to improve rodent learning behavior when examined with the Morris water maze (MWM) and avoidance tests. Lificiguat (YC-1) enhances long-term potentiation (LTP) in hippocampal Schafer collateral-CA1 synapse via the NO-cGMP-PKG-dependent pathway and potentiated LTP induction in the amygdala, increases the activation of ERK, and potentiated the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) in response to fear memory test^[4].

Stock Solution Working Solution

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.21 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.

Protocol 2

Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (8.21 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

Protocol 3

Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% Corn Oil

Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.21 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 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 (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Kinase Assay^[1]

CO dissociation constants are measured by titrating CO from a saturated solution into sGC protein and monitoring the appearance of the CO-bound Soret absorption band. The Ms sGC β₁(1-380) and Bt sGC β₁(1-197) samples are prepared in Ar-purged buffer supplemented with excess dithionite. CO binding experiments are performed in a 10 cm pathlength cuvette for Ms sGC-β₁(1-380) and Ms sGC-NT21 using a Cary 50 spectrophotometer with a modified sample holder. Binding data in the presence and absence of 50 μM Lificiguat (YC-1) is plotted using a single site saturation ligand binding model in SigmaPlot^[1].

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

Cell Assay^[2]

Cell proliferation assay is measured using a Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). Briefly, cells are cultured in 96-well plates at a concentration of 3×10³/well, incubated for 24 h, and treated with Sorafenib and/or Lificiguat (YC-1). After 72 h treatment, CCK-8 reagent is added to each well. The absorbance is measured at 450 nm after 2.5 h incubation at 37°C using an automated ELISA plate reader. Any synergistic effects resulting from combination of the compounds are measured using Microsoft Excel software to determine the combination index values (CI>1: antagonistic effect, CI=1: additive effect, and CT<1: synergistic effect)^[2].

Animal Administration^[3]^[4]

Mice^[3]
Fifty-eight female nu/nu mice (4 weeks-old) are used. MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells (5×10⁶ cells per mouse) are suspended in 0.1 mL of Matrigel solution (50% v/v Matrigel in PBS) and inoculated into the mammary fat pads of nude mice. When the tumor masses reach 100 mm³, the tumor-bearing mice are randomly divided into groups for treatments with different Lificiguat (YC-1)/YC-1-S doses. The mice are i.p. injected with YC-1 (30 or 60 mg/kg) or administered YC-1-S p.o. Tumor size and mouse body weight are measured once every 3 days, and tumor volume (mm³) is calculated using the equation: length×(width)²×0.5. At the end of the experiments, mice are killed and tumor nodules are dissected and weighed. Tumor tissues are subjected to Western blotting.
Rats^[4]
4-month-old (200-250 g) and 24-month-old (550-600 g) male Wistar-albino rats are used. Lificiguat (YC-1) is prepared immediately prior to use and given intraperitoneally (i.p.) in a volume of 0.1 mL per 100 g body weight. All rats receives 1 mg/kg/day of Lificiguat (YC-1) for 2 weeks. DMSO is administered to 4-month-old and 24-month-old rats (n=10, for each group). Doses are selected to confirm the selected doses on locomotor activity; all results are measured.

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
