EC1169 is a cytotoxic maytansinoid conjugate that specifically binds to prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). EC1169 precisely delivers the maytansinoid B hydrazide payload to PSMA-positive cells to exert antitumor activity. EC1169 only inhibits the growth of PSMA-positive cells but has no effect on PSMA-negative cells, and enables complete recovery in mice bearing PSMA-positive tumors. EC1169 exhibits safety with no body weight loss or major organ damage induced. EC1169 is used in studies of prostate cancer and other PSMA-expressing malignancies.

Description

EC1169 is a cytotoxic maytansinoid conjugate that specifically binds to prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). EC1169 precisely delivers the maytansinoid B hydrazide payload to PSMA-positive cells to exert antitumor activity. EC1169 only inhibits the growth of PSMA-positive cells but has no effect on PSMA-negative cells, and enables complete recovery in mice bearing PSMA-positive tumors. EC1169 exhibits safety with no body weight loss or major organ damage induced. EC1169 is used in studies of prostate cancer and other PSMA-expressing malignancies[1][2][3].

In Vitro

The binding affinity of EC1169 to PSMA on LNCaP cells is 6.5-fold that of the reference ligand PMPA[3].
EC1169 (1 μM; 2 h pulsed treatment+72 h) inhibits the growth of PSMA-positive LNCaP cells with an IC50 of approximately 13 nM, but shows no activity against PSMA-negative A549 and KB cells[3].

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

Cell Viability Assay[3]

Cell Line: PSMA-positive LNCaP cells, PSMA-negative A549 cells, PSMA-negative KB cells
Concentration: up to 1 μM
Incubation Time: 2 h (pulse); 72 h (chase)
Result: Inhibited the growth of PSMA-positive LNCaP cells with an in vitro IC50 of ~13 nM.
Induced membrane blebbing, loss of membrane integrity, and cell death within 24 h.
Showed no activity against PSMA-negative A549 and KB cells.
In Vivo

EC1169 demonstrated significantly greater antitumor activity against PSMA-positive human prostate cancer xenografts than Docetaxel (HY-B0011); at 90 days post-transplantation, all tumor-bearing mice achieved complete remission with no observed toxicity[1].
EC1169 (2 μmol/kg; i.v.; 3 times per week; 2 weeks) produces 100% complete responses in nu/nu mice bearing PSMA-positive LNCaP xenografts, with 29% of mice remaining tumor-free at 90 days, and no associated weight loss[3].
EC1169 (2 μmol/kg; i.v.; 3 times per week; 5 doses) exhibits no anti-tumor activity in nu/nu mice bearing PSMA-negative KB xenografts, confirming its PSMA-dependent specificity[3].
EC1169 (2 μmol/kg; i.v.; 3 times per week; 2 weeks per cycle; repeated for a second 2-week cycle after a 3-week drug holiday) produces a 100% partial response rate in nu/nu mice bearing PSMA-positive MDA-PCa 2b xenografts after one treatment cycle, and a combined 50% partial and 50% complete response rate after a second cycle, with no associated weight loss[3].

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

Animal Model: nu/nu (nude) mice with Cervical cancer (female, 4-8 weeks old, subcutaneous inoculation with PSMA-negative KB human cervical cancer cells)[3]
Dosage: 2 μmol/kg
Administration: i.v.; three times per week; 5 doses
Result: Showed no anti-tumor activity against PSMA-negative KB xenografts.
Resulted in tumor growth comparable to untreated controls.
Animal Model: nu/nu (nude) mice with Prostate cancer (male, 4-8 weeks old, subcutaneous inoculation with PSMA-positive MDA-PCa 2b human prostate cancer cells mixed with Matrigel)[3]
Dosage: 2 μmol/kg
Administration: i.v.; three times per week; 2 weeks per cycle; repeated for a second 2-week cycle after a 3-week drug holiday
Result: Produced a 100% partial response rate after the first 2-week treatment cycle, with tumors regressing but recurring in all mice by post-tumor implant day 56.
Yielded a 50% partial response rate and 50% complete response rate by post-tumor implant day 68 after the second 2-week cycle.
Caused no significant weight loss with either treatment cycle.

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (1.40 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.
  • Protocol 2

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

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (1.40 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 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

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.
