IBR2
Based on 7 publication(s) in Google Scholar
IBR2 is a potent and specific RAD51 inhibitor and inhibits RAD51-mediated DNA double-strand break repair. IBR2 disrupts RAD51 multimerization, accelerates proteasome-mediated RAD51 protein degradation, inhibits cancer cell growth and induces apoptosis.

IBR2 shows interesting RAD51 inhibition activities. RAD51 is rapidly degraded in IBR2-treated cancer cells, and the homologous recombination repair is impaired, subsequently leading to cell death. The IC50 values of the original IBR2 are in the range of 12-20 μM for most tested cancer cell lines. IBR2 can inhibit the growth of triple-negative human breast cancer cell line MBA-MD-468 with an IC50 of 14.8 μM[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 (6.24 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.

Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.
Protocol
Human breast cancer cell lines MCF7, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-361, MDA-MB-435, MDA-MB468, Hs578-T, human osteosarcoma cell line U20S, human glioblastoma cell line T98G and human cervical adenocarcinoma cell line HeLa are used. Standard XTT assays with a four-day drug treatment procedure are performed to measure the dose dependent cytotoxicity of IBR analogs in cultured cells. In brief, cells are plated on 96-well dishes one day before the drug treatment, followed by drug (e.g., IBR2) treatment on day 2 and XTT assay on day 6 after drug addition by using a commercial cell proliferation kit . Triplicate sets are measured and compiled for final data presentation[1].
