In Vitro

VU661013 exhibits a Ki of 97±30 pM to human MCL-1 in a TR-FRET assay by displacing a fluorescently labeled peptide derived from the pro-apoptotic protein BAK. However, VU661013 does not significantly inhibit BCL-xL (Ki>40 μM) or BCL-2 (Ki=0.73 μM)[1].

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

In Vivo

VU661013, a novel, potent, selective MCL-1 inhibitor that de-stabilizes BIM/MCL-1 association, leads to apoptosis in AML, and is active in Venetoclax-resistant cells and patient derived xenografts. After establishing disseminated leukemia, NSGS mice are dosed intraperitoneally with 10, 25 or 75 mg/kg of VU661013 daily for 21 days. Weekly chimerism analyses are conducted and the percentage of MV-4-11 cells are quantified in murine peripheral blood using anti-human CD45 (hCD45) and anti-hCD33 monoclonal antibodies. Twenty-eight days post-transplant, vehicle-treated mice have developed large leukemia burdens and thus, mice are sacrificed, and their organs are harvested for analysis. Vehicle mice treated died of xenografted AML, but have no evidence of VU661013-related toxicity in non target organs. VU661013 treatment of disseminated human AML results in a dose-dependent decrease in tumor burden, nearly eliminating the hCD45+ MV-4-11 cells at the 75 mg/kg dose in the blood (mean, 13.0±2.2% in vehicle vs 7.4±7.2% in 25mg/kg vs 0.17±0.12% in 75 mg/kg treated mice), bone marrow (mean, 40.7±13.9% in vehicle vs 33.46±4.0 % in 25 mg/kg vs 0.384±0.345 in 75 mg/kg treated mice), and spleen (mean, 46.22±13.3% in vehicle vs 13.31±10.0% in 25 mg/kg vs 1.588±1.51% in 75 mg/kg treated mice). Treatment with VU661013 reduces disease-associated splenomegaly (mean, vehicle vs. 75mg/kg, 0.17±0.02 vs 0.09±0.01g), and amendeding spleen to body weight ratio (vehicle vs 75mg/kg, 0.99 vs 0.50). In a second MV-4-11 xenograft study, mice are followed until death, and survival is evaluated by Kaplan-Meier analysis. In this study, NSGS mice are treated daily (starting 7 days after transplant) with vehicle only, 15 mg/kg or 75 mg/kg of VU661013. Analysis reveals an increase in survival in mice treated with the 75mg/kg dose (vehicle treated mice=31 days, vs 15 mg/kg=32 days, vs 75 mg/kg treated mice=43 Days)[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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (2.92 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: 2.08 mg/mL (2.92 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.08 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

Cell Assay
[1]

To generate cells that are resistant to BCL-2 or MCL-1 inhibition, MV-4-11 cells are treated over the course of 3 months with gradually increasing concentrations of VEN (5 nM to 2.5 μM) or VU661013 (100 nM to 5 μM). Cells are declared to be VEN or VU661013-resistant when they are able to maintain 100% viability in the presence of these high concentrations (5 μM of VU661013 and 2.5 μM of VEN) of inhibitors[1].

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

Animal Administration
[1]

Mice[1]
Upon establishing microchimerism, mice are treated with either Venetoclax by daily gavage, VU661013 (10, 25 or 75 mg/kg) by daily i.p injection, or vehicle. VU661013 is dissolved in DMSO and diluted in ethanol, Polyethylene Glycol (PEG), and saline. Venetoclax is dissolved in PEG and ethanol, and diluted with Phosal 50 PG. Peripheral blood is assessed weekly for human chimerism. Spleen/body ratio is calculated as organ weight (gram) per gram of body weight[1].

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.
