Biological Activity
TRX-E-002-1 shows broad cytotoxic activity against ovarian, prostate and lung cancer cells, with IC50 values of ≤0.1 μM (SK-OV-3, JAM, OVCAR-3 cells: IC50=0.023-0.065 μM; DU145, PC3; C4-2B cells: IC50=0.014-0.096 μM; A549 cells: IC50=0.058 μM). Activity in pancreatic and colorectal cancer cells and glioblastoma cells are more variable[1].
Cantrixil (0.2 μM; 2-24 hours) shows high levels of phosphorylated c-Jun (p-c-Jun) and low levels of phosphorylated-ERK (p-ERK)[2].
Cantrixil (2.45 μM; 2-24 hours) induces a significant increase in both caspase-3/7 and caspase-9 activity at 16 and 24 hours[2].
TRX-E-002-1 inhibits multiple cytochrome P450 drug-metabolizing enzymes, including CYP2C9, CYP2C8, CYP2C19, CYP2B6, CYP3A4, CYP2D6, CYP2A6 and CYP1A2. IC50 values ranges from 1.5 to 75 μM (612-30,600 ng/mL)[1].

TRX-E-002-1 (100 mg/kg/day; IP; for 4 weeks) inhibits tumour growth and reduces terminal tumour burden by 77% in the recurrent ovarian cancer mouse model[1].
TRX-E-002-1 (100 mg/kg/day; IP; for 18 days) significantly reduces terminal pancreatic tumour burden in a mouse model of pancreatic cancer (human Panc-1 pancreatic tumour cells implanted orthotopically into female NOD-SCID mice)[1].
TRX-E-002-1 (100 mg/kg; IP) has a T1/2 of 2.5 hours, a Cmax of 8355 ng/mL and an AUC0-∞ of 40600 ng h/mL[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 (6.12 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 (6.12 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
