    Description

    Defactinib hydrochloride (VS-6063 hydrochloride; PF 04554878 hydrochloride) is a novel FAK inhibitor, which inhibits FAK phosphorylation at the Tyr397 site in a time- and dose-dependent manner.

    IC50 & Target

    FAK[1]

    In Vitro

    Defactinib (VS-6063) inhibits FAK phosphorylation at the Tyr397 site in a time- and dose-dependent manner. RPPA data shows that Defactinib reduces levels of AKT and YB-1 in taxane-resistant cell lines. The expression of pFAK (Tyr397) is statistically significantly inhibited by Defactinib in a dose-dependent manner in all cell lines. Defactinib inhibits pFAK (Tyr397) expression within 3 hours, with a gradual return of expression by 48 hours[1].

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

    In Vivo

    Defactinib (VS-6063) doses of 25 mg/kg twice a day or greater statistically significantly inhibits pFAK (Tyr397) at 3 hours, with return of expression noted by 24 hours. Therefore, administration of Defactinib at 25 mg/kg twice a day is selected as the dosing schedule for subsequent therapy experiments. For therapy experiments, female nude mice bearing HeyA8 tumors in the peritoneal cavity are randomly divided into 4 groups (n=10 per group): 1) vehicle orally twice daily and phosphate-buffered saline intraperitoneally weekly (control); 2) Defactinib 25 mg/kg orally twice daily; 3) PTX intraperitoneally weekly; and 4) both VDefactinib 25 mg/kg orally twice daily and PTX intraperitoneally weekly. There is an 87.4% reduction in tumor weight by PTX monotherapy in the HeyA8 model, and combination therapy resulted in the greatest tumor weight reduction, with a 97.9% reduction (P=0.05 compared with PTX). In the SKOV3ip1 model, a 92.7% tumor weight reduction is observed in the combination group compared with PTX (P<0.001)[1].

    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: ≥ 0.67 mg/mL (1.22 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.67 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (6.7 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.
    • Protocol 2

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

      Solubility: ≥ 0.67 mg/mL (1.22 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.67 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (6.7 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.

    Animal Administration
    [1]

    Mice[1]
    To determine the antitumor effects of Defactinib, SKOV3ip1, SKOV3-TR, HeyA8, and HeyA8-MDR cells are injected intraperitoneally. One week after tumor cell injection, mice are randomly assigned to 4 groups of 10 mice (control, PTX alone, Defactinib alone, and PTX with Defactinib); treatment is initiated at 3-4 weeks following injection. PTX at 2 mg/kg (SKOV3ip1 and SKOV3-TR) or 2.5 mg/kg (HeyA8 and HeyA8-MDR) is given intraperitoneally weekly; Defactinib at 25 mg/kg is given orally twice every day. Control mice received HBSS intraperitoneally once a week and vehicle orally twice every day. Mice are monitored daily for adverse effects of therapy and are killed on day 35 (SKOV3ip1 or SKOV3-TR), day 28 (HeyA8 or HeyA8-MDR), or when any of the mice seemed moribund. Total body weight, tumor incidence and mass, and the number of tumor nodules are recorded. Tumors are either fixed in formalin or embedded in paraffin or snap frozen in optimal cutting temperature (OCT) compound in liquid nitrogen.

    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.
