Description

Zelavespib (PU-H71) is a potent Hsp90 inhibitor, with an IC50 of 51 nM in MDA-MB-468 cells.

IC50 & Target[1]

HSP90

51 nM (IC50, MDA-MB-468 cells)

In Vitro

Zelavespib is a potent Hsp90 inhibitor, with an IC50 of 51 nM in MDA-MB-468 cells. Zelavespib inhibits the growth of several tumor cells, such as MDA-MB-468, MDA-MB-231 and HCC-1806 cells, with IC50s of 65 ± 8 nM, 140 ± 5 nM and 87 ± 3 nM, respectively, and such inhibition is associated with a G2-M block arrest. Zelavespib (10-1000 nM) induces significant apoptosis in triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs). Zelavespib (0.5, 1 μM) also downregulates oncoproteins involved in the invasive potential of TNBCs[1]. Zelavespib (0.5 μM) decreases and depletes the BCR signaling kinases. Zelavespib (0.25-10 μM) is cytotoxic to CLL cells but shows minimal effects on PBMC or resting B cells. In addition, Zelavespib (0-1 μM) reduces CLL viability via the induction of mitochondrial apoptosis, and antagonizes the survival signals from CLL microenvironment at 0.5 μM[2]. Zelavespib (0.05 μM) induces apoptosis of MDA-MB-231, BT-474, and MCF7 cells, and such induction is enhanced by TNF-α. Zelavespib (0.05 μM) degradates IKKβ, and down-regulates the NF-κB transcriptional activity induced by TNF-α treatment[3].

In Vivo

Zelavespib (75 mg/kg, i.p.) causes intratumor accumulation, extends down-regulation of anti-tumor driving molecules, completes and retains responses at nontoxic doses in MDA-MB-468 tumor-bearing mice. Zelavespib(75 mg/kg 3×week, i.p.) suppresses the gowth of tumors, and such an effect is associated with down-regulation of several Hsp90-regulated malignancy driving proteins[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.

    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 (4.88 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.

Kinase Assay
[1]

Measurements are performed in black 96-well microtiter plates. In short, cell lysates are prepared by rupturing cellular membranes by freezing at -70°C and dissolving the cellular extract in HFB [20 mM Hepes (K), pH 7.3, 50 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 20 mM Na2MoO4, 0.01% Nonidet P-40] with added protease and phosphatase inhibitors (Zelavespib, etc.). Saturation curves are recorded in which fluorescently labeled geldanamycin (Cy3B-GM) (3 nM) is treated with increasing amounts of cellular lysates. The amount of lysate that results in polarization (mP) readings corresponding to 90%-99% bound ligand is chosen for the competition study. Here, each 96-well plate contains 3 nM Cy3B-GM, cellular lysate and tested Hsp90 inhibitor in a final volume of 100 μL. The plate is left for 24 h on a shaker at 4°C, and the fluorescence polarization (FP) values in mP are recorded. EC50 values are determined as the competitor concentrations at which 50% of the Cy3B-GM is displaced. FP measurements are performed on an Analyst GT microplate reader[1].

Cell Assay
[1]

The antiproliferative effects of select Hsp90 inhibitors is evaluated using the CellTiter-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability Assay kit. Briefly, exponentially growing MDA-MB-468, MDA-MB-231, and HCC-1806 cells are seeded into black 96-well microtiter plates and incubated in medium containing either vehicle control (DMSO) or Zelavespib for the indicated time at 37°C. Plates containing 3 replicate wells per assay condition are seeded at a density of 8 × 103 cells for each cell line in 100 μL medium. After exposure of cells to the Hsp90 inhibitors, plates are equilibrated to room temperature (20-25°C) for approximately 30 min, and 100 μL CellTiter-Glo reagent are added to each well. Plates are mixed for 2 min on an orbital shaker and then incubated for 15 min to 2 h at room temperature. The luminescence signal in each well is measured in an Analyst GT microplate reader. The percentage cell growth inhibition is calculated by comparing luminescence readings obtained from treated versus control cells, accounting for initial cell population (time 0). The IC50 is calculated as the drug concentration that inhibits cell growth by 50%[1].

Animal Administration
[1]

Mice[1]
Mice bearing MDA-MB-468 tumors reaching a volume of 100-150 mm3 are treated i.p. using different doses and schedules: Group 01 (n = 8) PBS; group 02 (n = 8) Zelavespib at 50 mg/kg on alternate days; group 03 (n = 8) Zelavespib at 50 mg/kg 5xqd; group 04 (n = 8) Zelavespib at 75 mg/kg 3 week; group 05 (n = 8) Zelavespib at 75 mg/kg on alternate days. Mice bearing HCC-1806 or MDA-MB-231 xenografted tumors receive Zelavespib at 75 mg/kg on alternate days. Tumor volume is determined by measurement with Vernier calipers, and tumor volume is calculated as the product of its length × width2 × 0.4. Tumor volume is expressed on indicated days as the median tumor volume ± SD indicated for groups of mice[1].

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.
