In Vitro

When U266 cells are incubated with Nifuroxazide, a significant dose-dependent decrease in STAT3 tyrosine phosphorylation is observed. This inhibition of STAT3 tyrosine phosphorylation is rapid, occurring as early as 1 h after treatment, and is sustained for at least 24 h. Treatment of U266 or INA6 cells with Nifuroxazide for 48 hours result in a dose-dependent loss of cell viability with an EC50 of approximately 4.5 μM in both cell types. Notably, the MM cells lacking constitutive STAT3 activation show little toxicity to Nifuroxazide[1].

In Vivo

Compared with the vehicle group, treatment with Nifuroxazide could inhibit tumor growth and tumor weight in a dose-dependent manner, with the inhibition rate of tumor volumes being 43.0% and 62.1% at 25 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg, respectively. It is also shown that Nifuroxazide significantly inhibits the proliferation of nuclear Ki-67-positive cells and induces apoptosis cells of cleaved caspase-3-positive cells. Besides, it is found that treatment with Nifuroxazide could inhibit the expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and p-Stat3 in A375 tumor tissues. What’s more, Nifuroxazide inhibits the infiltration of MDSCs into the lung, which might be associated with suppression of distant colonization of tumor cells in B16-F10 melanoma metastasis model[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: ≥ 2.58 mg/mL (9.37 mM); Suspended solution

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of ≥ 2.58 mg/mL (saturation unknown). Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.8 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% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.58 mg/mL (9.37 mM); Suspended solution

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of ≥ 2.58 mg/mL (saturation unknown). Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Mice[2]
Mice engrafted subcutaneously with 1×107 A375 cells are randomly divided into groups when tumor volume is around 100 mm3 and are administrated intraperitoneally injected with Nifuroxazide 25 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg or vehicle once daily. The tumor size and body weight are measured every 3 days. C57Bl/6J mice are engrafted by injecting intravenously via the tail vein with 2×105 B16-F10 cells to produce experimental lung metastasis. They are randomly assigned to groups on day 6 and are intraperitoneally injected with Nifuroxazide 50 mg/kg or vehicle once daily. Black dots on lung surface are counted and confirmed as melanoma metastases[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.
