Description

Terrestrosin D is an orally active apoptosis inducer. Terrestrosin D induces cell cycle arrest at the G1 and S phases, reduces mitochondrial membrane potential, and inhibits the growth of cancer cells and endothelial cells. Terrestrosin D is studied in castration-resistant prostate cancer and pulmonary fibrosis[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Terrestrosin D (2.6-41.3 μM; 24 h) exerts significant cytotoxicity in human normal liver LO2 cells (IC50 = 16.88 μM) and human embryonic kidney 293T cells (IC50 = 21.80 μM) following 24 h of treatment[1].
Terrestrosin D may induce hepatorenal toxicity through interactions with the key targets HSP90AA1, CNR1, and DRD2, as supported by high-affinity molecular docking results[1].
Terrestrosin D (1-5 μM; 24 h) potently inhibits the growth of PC-3, PC-3M, DU145, LNCaP, and 22RV1 human prostate cancer cells with an IC50 below 5 μM after 24 h of treatment[2].
Terrestrosin D (2-5 μM; 24 h) induces G1 phase cell cycle arrest in PC-3 human prostate cancer cells after 24 h of treatment with 2 or 5 μM[2].
Terrestrosin D (1-5 μM; 24 h) potently inhibits the growth of HUVECs and bladder-derived normal human microvascular endothelial cells with an IC50 below 3 μM after 24 h of treatment[2].
Terrestrosin D (2-3 μM; 24 h) induces S phase cell cycle arrest in HUVEC human endothelial cells after 24 h of treatment with 2 or 3 μM[2].
Terrestrosin D (2-5 μM; 24 h) induces dose-dependent, caspase-independent apoptosis in PC-3 human prostate cancer cells, with 60.5% of cells undergoing apoptosis after 24 h of treatment with 5 μM[2].
Terrestrosin D (5 μM; 24 h) does not activate caspase-3 and instead reduces its activity in PC-3 human prostate cancer cells after 24 h of treatment with 5 μM, confirming a caspase-independent apoptotic mechanism[2].
Terrestrosin D (2-3 μM; 24 h) induces dose-dependent, caspase-independent apoptosis in HUVEC human endothelial cells, with 34.3% of cells undergoing apoptosis after 24 h of treatment with 3 μM[2].
Terrestrosin D (3 μM; 24 h) does not activate caspase-3 and instead reduces its activity in HUVEC human endothelial cells after 24 h of treatment with 3 μM, confirming a caspase-independent apoptotic mechanism[2].
Terrestrosin D (2-5 μM; 24 h) induces mitochondrial membrane potential depolarization in 53.8% of PC-3 human prostate cancer cells after 24 h of treatment with 5 μM, with no significant effect at 2 μM[2].
Terrestrosin D (2-3 μM; 24 h) induces dose-dependent mitochondrial membrane potential depolarization in HUVEC human endothelial cells, affecting 28.8% and 57.3% of cells after 24 h of treatment with 2 μM and 3 μM, respectively[2].
Terrestrosin D (1-5 μM; 24 h) dose-dependently increases VEGF secretion in PC-3 human prostate cancer cells, causing a 1.86-fold increase after 24 h of treatment with 5 μM[2].
Terrestrosin D (1-3 μM; 24 h) dose-dependently increases VEGF secretion in HUVEC human endothelial cells, causing an 11.21-fold increase after 24 h of treatment with 3 μM[2].

Terrestrosin D (50 mg/kg; i.p.; 3 times weekly; 4 weeks) significantly suppresses PC-3 xenograft tumor growth in BALB/c nude mice, increases tumor cell apoptosis, and reduces tumor angiogenesis, without causing significant body weight loss[2].

In Vivo:

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.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (2.38 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.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (2.38 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.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
