Description

CR-1-31-B is a synthetic rocaglate and a potent eIF4A inhibitor. CR-1-31-B exhibits powerful inhibitory effects over eIF4A by perturbing the interaction between eIF4A and RNA, sequentially impeding initiation during protein synthesis. CR-1-31-B perturbs association of Plasmodium falciparum eIF4A (PfeIF4A) with RNA. CR-1-31-B induces apoptosis of neuroblastoma and gallbladder cancer cells[1][2][3][4].

IC50 & Target

eIF4

 

In Vitro

CR-1-31-B (100 nM; 24 hours) inhibits MUC1-C translation in MCF-10A cells (EGF-stimulated)[1].
CR-1-31-B (10 and 100 nM) decreases MUC1-C abundance in MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells[1].
CR-1-31B sensitizes gallbladder cancer cells to TRAIL-mediated apoptosis through the translational downregulation of c-FLIP[2].
Neuroblastoma (NB) cell lines exhibit decreased viability, increased apoptosis rates as well as changes in cell cycle distribution when treated with the synthetic rocaglate CR-1-31-B (24-72 hours), which clamps eIF4A and eIF4F onto mRNA, resulting in a translational block[4].
CR-1-31-B (100 nM; 5 hours) treatment increases reverse glutamine metabolism in pancreatic cancer cells[5].

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: MCF-10A cells (EGF-stimulated)
Concentration: 100 nM
Incubation Time: 24 hours
Result: Blocked increases in MUC1-C abundance.

Cell Viability Assay[4]

Cell Line: SH-SY5Y cells and Kelly cells
Concentration: 0.1-100 nM
Incubation Time: 24-72 hours
Result: A significant decrease in SH-SY5Y viability was observed at 10 nM for all time points. Significantly decreased the viability of Kelly cells at 5 nM. The calculated IC50 at 48 h was 20 nM for SH-SY5Y and 4 nM for Kelly cells.

Apoptosis Analysis[4]

Cell Line: SH-SY5Y and Kelly cells
Concentration: SH-SY5Y cells were treated with 10, 20, and 50 nM and Kelly cells with 1, 5, and 10 nM
Incubation Time: 24-72 hours
Result: Triggered apoptosis.
In Vivo

CR-1-31-B (2 mg/kg in 60 μL olive oil; IP; once every 2 days for 28 days) reduces the growth and initiates TRAIL-induced apoptosis in a BALB/c nude mice model of gallbladder cancer cells (GBC)[2].
CR-1-31-B (0.2 mg/kg; IP; daily for 7 days; murine orthotopic transplant model of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma) effectively inhibits protein synthesis and growth of pancreatic tumours[5].

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: ≥ 5.75 mg/mL (11.33 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5.75 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (57.5 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: ≥ 5.75 mg/mL (11.33 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5.75 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (57.5 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.

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.
