Based on 1 Customer Validation
MC-1-F2 is a FOXC2 inhibitor. MC-1-F2 shows a binding affinity (Kd) of 26 μM for full-length FOXC2. MC-1-F2 reduces epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers in breast cancer cells, suppresses cancer stem cell (CSC) properties and reduces invasiveness in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) cells. MC-1-F2 can be used for the study of CRPC and breast cancer.

MC-1-F2 (20 μM, 48 h) reduces FOXC2 protein levels in CRPC cell lines DU145 and PC3, with no significant effect on FOXC2 gene expression[1].
MC-1-F2 (20 μM, 48 h) downregulates mesenchymal markers and CSC markers as well as upregulates epithelial markers in DU145 and PC3 cells[1].
MC-1-F2 (20 μM, 24 h) inhibits the invasive capabilities of DU145 and PC3 cells, with no effect on LNCaP cells (low FOXC2 expression)[1].
MC-1-F2 (0-50 μM) inhibits the viability of MDA-MB-231(IC50 = 20 μM) and BT549 cells with high FOXC2 expression, but has a weak inhibitory effect on MCF-7 cells with low FOXC2 expression[2].

MC-1-F2 (20 μM, 24-48 h) downregulates the expression of PDGFR-β and MMP2, induces cadherin switching (upregulates E-cadherin and downregulates N-cadherin) and reduces the expression of mesenchymal markers Vimentin, Slug, and ZEB1 in MDA-MB-231 cells[2].
MC-1-F2 (20 μM, 48 h) decreases the expression of CSC markers c-Myc and KLF4 in MDA-MB-231 cells and reduces the nuclear localization of β-catenin[2].
MC-1-F2 (20 μM, 24 h) inhibits the migration and invasion abilities of MDA-MB-231 cells[2].

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 (3.35 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 (3.35 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
