Tosposertib
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Tosposertib (TU2218 free base) is an ALK5/VEGFR2 dual inhibitor (IC50 = 1.2 nM/4.9 nM). Tosposertib directly restores the activity of damaged cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and natural killer cells inhibited by TGFβ and suppresses the activity and viability of regulatory T cells. Tosposertib can be used for the study of melanoma and colon cancer.

Biological Activity
|
ALK5 1.2 nM (IC50) |
VEGFR2 4.9 nM (IC50) |
Tosposertib (TU2218) shows a half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 101 nM in the SMAD2 phosphorylation assay using human whole blood and an IC50 of 52.5 nM in the VEGFR2 phosphorylation assay in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)[1].
Tosposertib (0.5-5 μM, 24 h) can reverse the TGFβ-mediated inhibition of IFNγ expression in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)[1].
Tosposertib (0.5-5 μM, 72 h) significantly restores TGFβ-induced inhibition of IFNγ secretion in Human PBMCs cells[1].
Tosposertib (0.2-5 μM) upregulates the expression of NKG2D receptor, is inhibited by TGFβ, and restores the killing activity of NK92 cells against K562 cells[1].
Tosposertib (0.5-5 μM, 48 h) can restore the decreased IFNγ level caused by co-culturing Human PBMCs with MCF-7 or HT-1080 cancer cells[1].
Tosposertib (0.5-2.5 μM, 5 days) concentration-dependently restores regulator T cell (Treg)-inhibited effector T cell (Teff) proliferation and reduces Treg activity[1].
Tosposertib upregulates the expression of adhesion-related genes (such as VCAM-1 and ICAM-1) in HUVECs stimulated by TNFα and VEGF, and downregulates cell division-related genes[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 (7.88 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 (7.88 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 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
