    In Vitro

    AZ20 inhibits ATR immunoprecipitated from HeLa nuclear extracts with an IC50 of 5 nM and ATR mediated phosphorylation of Chk1 in HT29 colorectal adenocarcinoma tumor cells with an IC50 of 50 nM[1].

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

    In Vivo

    AZ20 (25, 50 mg/kg, p.o.) has high permeability combined with good stability to rat hepatocytes and, despite the lack of progress in achieving markedly higher solubility, has respectable bioavailability in a low dose rat PK study. AZ20 (25, 50 mg/kg, p.o.) leads to significant tumor growth inhibition in female nude mice bearing LoVo tumors[1].

    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 (6.06 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 (6.06 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.

    Cell Assay
    [1]

    Compound dose ranges are created by diluting in 100% DMSO and then further into assay medium (EMEM, 10% FCS, 1% glutamine) using a Labcyte Echo acoustic dispensing instrument. Cells are plated in 384-well Costar plates at 9×104 cells per mL in 40 μL of EMEM, 10% FCS, 1% glutamine and grown for 24 h. Following addition of compound the cells are incubated for 60 min. A final concentration of 3 μM 4NQO (prepared in 100% DMSO) is then added using the Labcyte Echo, and the cells are incubated for a further 60 min. The cells are fixed by adding 40 μL of 3.7% v/v formaldehyde solution for 20 min. After removal of fix, cells are washed with PBS and permeabilized in 40 μL of PBS containing 0.1% Triton X-100. The cells are then washed, and 15 μL primary antibody solution (pChk1 Ser345) is added. The plates are incubated at 4°C overnight. The primary antibody is then washed off, and 20 μL of secondary antibody solution and 1 μM Hoechst 33258 added for 90 min at room temperature. The plates are washed and left in 40 μL of PBS. Plates are then read on an ArrayScan VTI instrument to determine staining intensities, and dose responses are obtained and used to determine the IC50 values for the compounds.

    Animal Administration
    [1]

    Female Swiss nu/nu mice are housed in negative pressure isolators. LoVo tumor xenografts are established in 8- to 12-week-old mice by injecting 1×107 tumor cells subcutaneously (100 μL in serum free medium) on the left dorsal flank. Animals are randomized into treatment groups when tumors become palpable. AZ20 is prepared in 10% DMSO/40% propylene glycol/50% water and administered orally. Tumors are measured up to three times per week with calipers. Tumor volumes are calculated and the data plotted using the geometric mean for each group versus time.

    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.
