Dofequidar  (Synonyms: MS-209 free base)

Cat. No.: HY-17013 Purity: 98.17%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Dofequidar (MS-209 free base) is an orally active quinoline compoundthat blocks P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and multidrug resistance-associated protein-1 (MDR-1). Dofequidar has highly potent reversing effect on multidrug-resistant tumor cells. Dofequidar competitively inhibits ABCB1/P-gp, ABCC1/MRP-1, blocks the efflux of chemotherapeutic agents, increases the drug concentration in cancer cells, and enhances the chemotherapeutic effect.

    Description

    Dofequidar (MS-209 free base) is an orally active quinoline compoundthat blocks P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and multidrug resistance-associated protein-1 (MDR-1). Dofequidar has highly potent reversing effect on multidrug-resistant tumor cells. Dofequidar competitively inhibits ABCB1/P-gp, ABCC1/MRP-1, blocks the efflux of chemotherapeutic agents, increases the drug concentration in cancer cells, and enhances the chemotherapeutic effect[1][2].

    In Vitro

    Dofequidar in the in vitro proliferation and chemosensitivity assays of human small cell lung cancer SBC-3/ADM and SBC-3 cells completely reverses the multidrug resistance of SBC-3/ADM cells to Etoposide (VP-16) (HY-13629), Adriamycin, and Vincristine (HY-N0488) at concentrations of 3-10 μM, with little effect on the sensitivity of SBC-3 cells[1].
    Dofequidar in the P-gp expression analysis experiment of human small cell lung cancer SBC-3/ADM and SBC-3 cells does not change the P-gp expression of SBC-3 cells, while SBC-3/ADM cells express P-gp[1].
    Dofequidar at various concentrations reduces the proportion of side population (SP) cells in a dose-dependent manner in the SP cell sorting experiment of multiple cancer cell lines[2].
    Dofequidar increases the intracellular concentration of ABCC1⁄MDR-associated protein (MRP) in K562/BCRP cells in the intracellular drug accumulation experiment[2].

    In Vivo

    Dofequidar (200 mg/kg; orally administered; starting from days 10 or 14 after tumor cell inoculation, 4 doses) in NK cell-depleted SCID mice inoculated with SBC-3/ADM or SBC-3 cells significantly inhibits the metastasis of SBC-3/ADM cells to multiple organs when combined with Etoposide (VP-16) (HY-13629) or Adriamycin[1].
    Dofequidar (200 mg/kg; orally administered; given 30 minutes before Irinotecan (CPT-11) (HY-16562) injection, and both are administered on days 0, 4, and 8; throughout the experiment) in nude mice inoculated with HeLa SP cells significantly reduces the tumor volume when combined with Irinotecan[2].

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

    Animal Model: 6- to 8-week-old male severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice, depleted of natural killer (NK) cells by intraperitoneal injection of TM-β1 Ab (1 mg/mouse) 2 days before tumor inoculation, and then inoculated intravenously with SBC-3 or SBC-3/ADM cells[1]
    Dosage: 200 mg/kg
    Administration: Orally administered; the mice inoculated with SBC-3 cells were treated on days 14, 15, 21, and 22; the mice inoculated with SBC-3/ADM cells were treated on days 10, 11, 17, and 18.
    Result: Combined use with Etoposide (VP-16) (HY-13629) or Adriamycin can significantly inhibit metastasis formation by SBC-3/ADM cells to the liver, kidneys, and lymph nodes, and the weight of the liver of the treated mice was significantly less than that of other groups.
    Animal Model: 5- to 6-week-old female BALB/c-nu/nu (nude) mice, inoculated subcutaneously with HeLa SP cells[2]
    Dosage: 200 mg/kg
    Administration: Orally administered 30 minutes before intravenous injection of Irinotecan (67 mg/kg); on days 0, 4, and 8
    Result: Co-treatment with Irinotecan drastically decreased the tumor volume.

    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 (5.19 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.

    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.
