Description

Dicoumarol is an inhibitor of both NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) and PDK1 with IC50s of 0.37 and 19.42 μM, respectively.

IC50 & Target

IC50: 0.37 μM (NQO1)[1], 19.42 μM (PDK1)[2]

In Vitro

Dicoumarol is an inhibitor of both NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) and PDK1 with IC50s of 0.37±0.15 and 19.42±0.032 μM, respectively. The PDK1 activity is inhibited by Dicoumarol in a dose-dependent manner. The enzymatic activity of PDK1 is reduced by approximately 94% when treated with 200 μM Dicoumarol. Dicoumarol decreases the p-PDHA1 level by 26% (100 μM Dicoumarol) and by 72% (200 μM Dicoumarol), with no statistical difference in the total PDHA1 level. Both 100 μM and 200 μM Dicoumarol markedly induce apoptosis of SKOV3 cells. Similarly, flow cytometric analysis of annexin V+PI+ cells reveals that 100 μM and 200 μM Dicoumarol treatments generate approximately 20.87% and 24.94% apoptotic cells, respectively, significantly higher than vehicle treatment[2].
It is also observed that treatment of MCF-7-TAMR cells with Dicoumarol, a known NQO1 inhibitor, reverses their Tamoxifen-resistance phenotype[3].

In Vivo

Dichloroacetate (DCA) at 100 mg/kg, Dicoumarol at 30 mg/kg, and Dicoumarol at 50 mg/kg all significantly reduce tumor volume and decrease tumor weight, when compare to tumors from control or vehicle groups. Total caspase-3 and total anti-poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) are significantly decreased in Dicoumarol-treated SKOV3 xenografts, when compare to tumors from the control or vehicle group[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    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (4.97 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (16.7 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.

Cell Assay
[2]

The in vitro cell viability is examined using the standard MTT assay. SKOV3 or A2780 cells are seeded in 96-well plates at 8000 cells/well. The next day, increasing concentrations of Dicoumarol (DIC) are added into each well, and the plate is incubated for 24 h. Then, 10 μL of 10 mg/mL MTT reagent in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) is added into each well, and the plate is incubated for an additional 4 h. The formazan crystals are dissolved in 150 μL of DMSO, and after the plate is shaken for 5 min, the optical density at 570 nm is recorded by the reader[2].

Animal Administration
[2]

Twenty five female BALB/c-nu mice aged 5 to 6 weeks old and weighing approximately 15 g each are used. A total of 1×107 SKOV3 cells are subcutaneously injected into the upper flank. After 10 days, when the tumor volume reaches approximately 100 mm3, the nude mice are randomized into five groups (n=5/group) and are given the following treatments intraperitoneally (i.p.) every other day, for a total of 12 days: control group, administered with 0.2 mL of 0.9% NaCl; vehicle group, administered with 1 mM NaOH; dichloroacetate (DCA) group, administered with 100 mg/kg DCA; Dicoumarol (DIC)-30 group, administered with 30 mg/kg Dicoumarol; and Dicoumarol-50 group, administered with 50 mg/kg Dicoumarol. The body weights and tumor volumes of each mouse are monitored every other day until sacrifice (on day 12 after the initial treatment)[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.
