In Vitro

The IC₅₀ of Nirogacestat (PF-03084014) for γ-secretase enzyme inhibition in cell-free assay for Aβ production using detergent solubilized membranes derived from HeLa cells is determined to be 6.2 nM. When tested for inhibition of Notch receptor cleavage in cellular assays using HPB-ALL cells that harbor mutations in both the heterodimerization and PEST domains in Notch1, the cell IC₅₀ is determined to be 13.3 nM. Nirogacestat (PF-03084014) causes a significant increase in caspase-3 activities in HPB-ALL and TALL-1 cells as well as an induction of cleaved PARP and cleaved caspase-3 after a 7-day treatment^[1].

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

In Vivo

Nirogacestat (PF-03084014) shows robust antitumor activity in this model on 14-day twice daily dosing. Tumor growth inhibition is dose dependent, with maximal tumor growth inhibition of ~92% obtained at high dose levels (150 mg/kg). In tumor growth inhibition studies where mice receive repetitive twice daily dosing for more than a week, Nirogacestat (PF-03084014) is well tolerated at dose levels below 100 mg/kg as no significant weight loss, morbidity, or mortality is observed. When the dose is increased to 150 mg/kg, however, mice have diarrhea and show weight loss (10-15%) approximately 10 days after compound administration. The body weight of treated animals usually returns to normal if dosing holidays are given, suggesting that the toxicity of Nirogacestat (PF-03084014) is reversible^[1].

Protocol

Cell Assay^[1]

Cells are seeded in 96-well plates at 2,000 (Sup-T1, Jurkat, and DND-41) or 10,000 (HPB-ALL or TALL-1) cells/well in growth media supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. Serial dilutions of Nirogacestat (PF-03084014) are done in DMSO, appropriate controls or designated concentrations of Nirogacestat (PF-03084014) are added to each well, and cells are incubated at 37°C for 7 days (final DMSO content 0.1%). Resazurin at a final concentration of 0.1 mg/mL is added to the cells and plates are incubated for 2 to 4 hours. Fluorescent signals are read as emission at 590 nm after excitation at 560 nm. IC₅₀ values are calculated by using the sigmoidal dose-response (variable slope) in GraphPad Prism^[1].

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

Animal Administration^[1]^[2]

Mice^[1]
Athymic female mice (nu/nu, 6-8 weeks) are used. For antitumor efficacy, animals bearing tumors of 150 to 300 mm³ in size are randomly divided into groups that received either vehicle (0.5% methylcellulose) or Nirogacestat (PF-03084014) (150 mg/kg, diluted in vehicle), and dosed by oral gavage. Animal body weight and tumor measurements are obtained every 2 to 3 days. Tumor volume (mm³) is measured with Vernier calipers and calculated. Percent (%) inhibition values are measured on the final day of study for drug-treated compared with vehicle-treated mice and are calculated. For all tumor growth inhibition experiments, 8 to 10 mice per dose group are used. Student's t test is used to determine the P value.

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
