Pro-GA
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Pro-GA is a γ-glutamyl cyclotransferase (GGCT) inhibitor. Pro-GA inhibits the enzymatic activity of GGCT, disrupts glutathione homeostasis, induces the production of mitochondrial ROS, and upregulates the expression of p21, p27 and p16 in cells. Pro-GA inhibits the growth of cancer cells, induces cell cycle arrest and cellular senescence. Pro-GA exerts anti-tumor effects in breast cancer xenograft mouse models. Pro-GA can be used in research related to bladder cancer and breast cancer.

Biological Activity
Pro-GA (0-180 μM; 0-6 days) inhibits the growth of human bladder cancer UMUC3, T24 and RT112 cells in a dose-dependent manner, with IC50 values of 73.9 μM, 57.0 μM and 58.5 μM, respectively[1].
Pro-GA (100 μM) significantly enhances the anti-tumor effect of Mitomycin C (HY-13316) on RT112, UMUC3 and T24 human bladder cancer cells[1].
Pro-GA (50-100 μM; 1-5 days) inhibits the viability of human breast cancer MCF7 cells in a dose-dependent manner, suppresses DNA synthesis in cells, and reduces the number of viable cells[2].
Pro-GA (50 μM; 72 h) upregulates the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors p21, p27 and p16 in human breast cancer MCF7 cells[2].
Pro-GA (75 μM; 72 h) increases the level of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species in human breast cancer MCF7 cells[2].
Pro-GA (50-75 μM; 96 h) induces cellular senescence in human breast cancer MCF7 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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.64 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.
