COTI-2, an anti-cancer agent with low toxicity, is an orally available third generation activator of p53 mutant forms. COTI-2 acts both by reactivating mutant p53 and inhibiting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. COTI-2 induces apoptosis in multiple human tumor cell lines. COTI-2 exhibits antitumor activity in HNSCC through p53-dependent and -independent mechanisms. COTI-2 converts mutant p53 to wild-type conformation.

Description

COTI-2, an anti-cancer agent with low toxicity, is an orally available third generation activator of p53 mutant forms. COTI-2 acts both by reactivating mutant p53 and inhibiting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. COTI-2 induces apoptosis in multiple human tumor cell lines. COTI-2 exhibits antitumor activity in HNSCC through p53-dependent and -independent mechanisms. COTI-2 converts mutant p53 to wild-type conformation[1][2][3].

IC50 & Target

p53[1]

In Vitro

COTI-2 efficiently inhibits the proliferation rate of all the tested cell lines following 72 h of treatment. COTI-2 is significantly effective at inhibiting tumor cell proliferation in all three cell lines (COLO-205, HCT-15, and SW620). Relatively low concentrations of COTI-2 are active against all human glioblastoma cell lines tested (U87-MG, SNB-19, SF-268, and SF-295). COTI-2 treatment of SHP-77 cells with approximate IC50 concentrations results in the induction of early apoptosis among 40 to 47% of total cells[2].

In Vivo

COTI-2 significantly inhibits tumor growth in the HT-29 human colorectal tumor xenografts at a dose of 10 mg/kg. In addition to reducing tumor volumes at specific times post-treatment, COTI-2 also delays the time required for tumors to reach specified volumes. COTI-2 also significantly inhibits tumor growth in the SHP-77 SCLC xenograft model at a dose as low as 3 mg/kg. COTI-2 treatment both reduces U87-MG tumor volumes at specific times post-treatment and lengthens the time required for U87-MG xenografts to grow in nude mice. Control tumors in mice treated with vehicle alone take only 5 days to reach an average volume of 828 mm3 while tumors in animals treated with COTI-2 take double that time (10 days) to reach a similar mean volume (857 mm3). COTI-2 treatment effectively inhibits OVCAR-3 xenograft growth regardless of the route of administration[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    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 0.67 mg/mL (1.83 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.67 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (6.7 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Kinase Assay
[2]

The interaction of COTI-2 with 227 kinases is tested using the AMBIT BIOSCIENCES KINOMESCAN assay. In brief, streptavidin-coated magnetic beads are treated with biotinylated small molecule ligands for 30 min at 25°C to generate affinity resins for kinase assays. The liganded beads are blocked with excess biotin and washed with blocking buffer (1% BSA, 0.05% Tween 20, 1 mM DTT) to remove unbound ligand and to reduce non-specific binding. Binding reactions are assembled by combining phage lysates, liganded affinity beads, and COTI-2 in 1× binding buffer (20% SeaBlock, 0.17× PBS, 0.05% Tween 20, 6 mM DTT). All reactions are carried out in polystyrene 96-well plates that have been pre-treated with blocking buffer in a final volume of 0.1 mL[2].

Cell Assay
[2]

SHP-77 cells are cultured with various concentrations of COTI-2 for 48 h. Cells are then washed twice with 1× cold PBS and stained with Annexin V and 7AAD according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, 5 μL of Annexin V and 7AAD are added to 1×105 cells and incubated for 15 min at room temperature in the dark. Then 400 μL of the 1× binding buffer (100 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 140 mM NaCl, 2.5 mM CaCl2) is added to the cells. Finally, cells are analyzed using a flow cytometer[2].

Animal Administration
[2]

SHP-77 and HT-29 cells are injected in 50% matrigel into flanks of NCr-nu mice (2×106 cells per injection site) (n=5 mice per group). In the case of SHP-77 xenografts, treatment with COTI-2 begins prior to the appearance of palpable tumors. One day after injection of SHP-77 cells, animals receive 3 mg/kg of COTI-2 (once every two days, up to 38 days). Tumor sizes are estimated at 5, 10, 17, 24, and 38 days, by standard caliper measurements. In the case of HT-29 xenografts, the capacity of COTI-2 to suppress growth of established tumors is assessed. HT-29 xenografts are allowed to grow to 200 mm3 before starting IP treatment with COTI-2 (10 mg/kg, 5 days a week for 7 weeks) or saline IP. Tumor growth is measured every 4 days by caliper measurement[2].

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.
