ML-180
Based on 5 publication(s) in Google Scholar
ML-180 (SR1848) is a potent orphan nuclear receptor liver receptor homolog 1 (LRH-1; NR5A2) inverse agonist with an IC50 of 3.7 μM. ML-180 is inactive for steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1; NR5A1; IC50>10 μM). ML-180 has the potential for LRH-1-dependent cancers.

Biological Activity
IC50: 3.7 µM (LRH-1)[1]
ML-180 (SR1848; 0.01-100 μM; 48 hours) shows diminished capacity to proliferate at concentrations above 1 μM, and the EC50 being roughly 2.8 μM in Huh-7 cells. ML-180 inhibits cell proliferation in an LRH-1-dependent manner[2].
ML-180 (0.5-5 μM; 24 hours) shows a significant inhibition of cyclin-D1 and cyclin-E1 expression in hepatic cells, but has little effect on repression in SK-OV-3 cells[2].
ML-180 (5 μM; 24 hours) leads to a rapid decrease of LRH-1 expression and efficiently represses endogenous LRH-1 signaling[2].
ML-180 (0.5-5 μM; 24 hours) inhibits LRH-1 mRNA expression in a dose-dependent manner[2].
ML-180 (5 μM; 2 hours) rapidly and significantly decreases the mRNA levels of LRH-1 receptor and its downstream targets (CYP19, GATA3, and GATA4) in Huh-7 and HepG2 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 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 1.19 mg/mL (3.06 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.19 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (11.9 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
