Description

DHQZ-17 is a HNF4A inhibitor. DHQZ-17 triggers apoptosis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cells. DHQZ-17 can be used for the research of head & neck squamous cell carcinoma[1].

In Vitro

DHQZ-17 (Compound 17) (0.5-50 μM; 24-72 h) potently inhibits the viability of SCC131 oral squamous cell carcinoma cells with an IC50 of 1.75 μM at 72 h, shows lower potency against other cancer cell lines, and is non-toxic to normal human cells and PBMCs at tested concentrations[1].
DHQZ-17 (10 μM; 2 h) does not induce micronuclei formation in human PBMCs, showing no genotoxic effect[1].
DHQZ-17 (2.5-10 μM; 24 h-4 days) alters the morphology of SCC131 cells and reduces viable cell numbers in a concentration-dependent manner over 4 days[1].
DHQZ-17 (2.5-10 μM; 24 h) induces G2/M phase cell cycle arrest and increases Sub G0 phase cell population in SCC131 cells, accompanied by elevated Cyclin B1 levels[1].
DHQZ-17 (2.5-10 μM; 24 h) induces concentration-dependent apoptosis in SCC131 cells via increased ROS generation, DNA damage, and modulation of pro- and anti-apoptotic proteins[1].
DHQZ-17 (2.5-10 μM; 24-48 h) inhibits the tumorigenic potential of SCC131 cells by reducing colony formation and impairing wound healing in a concentration-dependent manner[1].
DHQZ-17 (2.5-5 μM; 24 h) downregulates HNF4A expression in SCC131 cells, and overexpression of HNF4A partially rescues DHQZ-17-induced cytotoxicity and colony inhibition, identifying HNF4A as a target[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.

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.
