  3. Tubulysin A

Tubulysin A (TubA) is an anticancer and antiangiogenic agent with anti-microtubule, anti-mitosis and anti-proliferative activity against a variety of cancer cells with IC50 values in the pmol range. It can induce apoptosis of cancer cells and has no effect on normal cells. Tubulysins are a group of potent cytotoxins consisting of nine members (A-I). Tubulysin A can synthesize ADC as ADC Cytotoxin.

Description

Tubulysin A (TubA) is an anticancer and antiangiogenic agent with anti-microtubule, anti-mitosis and anti-proliferative activity against a variety of cancer cells with IC50 values in the pmol range. It can induce apoptosis of cancer cells and has no effect on normal cells. Tubulysins are a group of potent cytotoxins consisting of nine members (A-I). Tubulysin A can synthesize ADC as ADC Cytotoxin[1][2][3][4].

IC50 & Target

Traditional Cytotoxic Agents

 

In Vitro

The IC50 values of Tubulysin A in the NCI-H1299 (lung), HT-29 (colon) and A2780 (ovary) cell lines are 3, 1 and 2 nmol/L, respectively[4].
The IC50 values of Tubulysin A against L929 (mouse fibroblast) and KB-V1 (human cervical cancer multidrug resistant cell line) cells were 0.07 and 1.4 ng/ml, respectively[1].
Tubulysin A (1 nM, 10 nM; 24h) has an antiangiogenic effect in HUVEC cells with IC50 values of 2.07-2.97 nM[1].
Tubulysin A (5h) can inhibit cell migration in HUVEC cells with IC50 value of 2.26 nM[1].
Tubulysin A (72h) can inhibit cell growth in HUVEC cells with GI50 value of 0.34 nM[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 (2.96 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 (2.96 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.

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.
