In Vitro

RAD51 Inhibitor B02 specifically inhibits human RAD51 (IC₅₀=27.4 μM), but not its E. coli homologue RecA (IC₅₀>250 μM)^[1]. The combination of B02 with cisplatin has the strongest killing effect on the human breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231^[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

B02 significantly enhances the therapeutic effect of cisplatin on tumor cells in vivo. B02 is tolerated by mice at doses up to 50 mg/kg without obvious body weight loss. No inhibition of tumor growth is observed on mice solely treated by B02. Mice treated with 4 mg/kg cisplatin, however, shows a 33% inhibition of tumor growth. Finally, mice treated with 50 mg/kg B02 and 4 mg/kg cisplatin shows a 66% inhibition of tumor growth^[2].

Stock Solution Working Solution

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: 20% DMSO 20% Cremophor EL 60% Saline

Protocol

Cell Assay^[2]

The cells are exposed for 1 h, then the cells are ished by PBS three times and refreshed by the media containing B02 (5 µM). After 7-10 days, cells are fixed and stained with staining solution (0.05% crystal violet, 50% methanol in PBS); finally cell colonies are counted^[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Administration^[2]

Mice: Cisplatin and B02 are dissolved in NS and cremophor/DMSO/NS (1:1:3) vehicle, respectively, immediately before injection. In a combination treatment group, the mice are injected with B02 (50 mg/kg or indicated otherwise) and cisplatin (4 mg/kg or indicated otherwise). In B02 group, mice are injected with B02 and NS; in cisplatin group, mice are injected with cisplatin and B02 vehicle. Cisplatin (or NS) is administrated 3 h after B02 (or its vehicle) injection. All the treatments are executed through I.P. injections on day 11, 13, 15 and 17 after tumor cells inoculations^[2].

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
