Sparfosic acid trisodium
Based on 6 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Sparfosic acid trisodium is a DNA antimetabolite agent and a potent inhibitor of aspartate transcarbamoyl transferase. Aspartate transcarbamoyl transferase catalyzes the second step of de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis. Sparfosic acid trisodium synergistically enhances the cytotoxicity of a combination of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and interferon-alpha (IFN) against human colon cancer cell lines.

Biological Activity
Sparfosic acid trisodium (N-(Phosphonacetyl)-L-aspartate, PALA) treatment causes apoptosis in the resistant Br1 cells[1].
Sparfosic acid trisodium (PALA, 300 μM) shows progressive accumulation of cells in S phase and activation of an apoptotic pathway leading to cell death[1].

Cell Line:Br-l and L-2 cell lines established from metastasis in nude mouse injected with the human tumor cell line MDA-MB-435.
-
Concentration:300 µM.
-
Incubation Time:12, 24 and 48 h.
-
Result:Cells were predominantly in S phase in both the cell lines, although slightly higher proportion of cells in S phase were noted in L-2 than Brl-3prl cells.
-
Cell Line:Br-l and L-2 cell lines.
-
Concentration:300 µM.
-
Incubation Time:4, 10 and 24 h.
-
Result:There was moderate difference in the level of phosphorylated Rb proteins seen in the two cell types.
Marked increase in the amount of cyclin A protein was detected in the L-2 cells undergoing apoptosis with the highest level detected at 10 h post-drug treatment.
In contrast, there was no increase in the level of cyclin A seen in the Brl-3prl cells.
Cyclin E protein was found elevated in the L-2 cells and Brl-3prl cells compared to their respective controls.

Solvent & Solubility
H2O : 250 mg/mL (778.67 mM; Need ultrasonic)
DMSO : 180 mg/mL (560.64 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months (protect from light, stored under nitrogen). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months.
* Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution, then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.

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: ≥ 4.5 mg/mL (14.02 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 4.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (45.0 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: ≥ 4.5 mg/mL (14.02 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 4.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (45.0 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.
For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly:
It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
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.
