ANI-7 is an activator of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) pathway. ANI-7 inhibits the growth of multiple cancer cells, and potently and selectively inhibits the growth of MCF-7 breast cancer cells with a GI50 of 0.56 μM. ANI-7 induces CYP1-metabolizing mono-oxygenases by activating AhR pathway, and also induces DNA damage, checkpoint Kinase 2 (Chk2) activation, S-phase cell cycle arrest, and cell death in sensitive breast cancer cell lines.

In Vitro

ANI-7 (2.5 μM; 24 hours; MCF10A and MDA-MB-468 cells) treatment induces significant S-phase and G2 + M-phase cell cycle arrest within 24 hours of treatment in MDA-MB-468 cells, and negligible effect in normal breast MCF10A cells[1].
ANI-7 (2 μM; 12-24 hours; MDA-MB-468 cells) treatment results in a significant increase in the content and phosphorylation of CHK2, and induces a significant increase in H2AX? in MDA-MB-468 cells, indicative of DNA double-strand damage[1].
Inhibition of the AhR pathway ameliorates the effects of ANI-7. ANI-7 activates XRE activity and expression of the AhR and CYP1 members[1].
Comparisons of the GI50 values show that ANI-7 produces a GI50 value of 0.38 μM in MCF-7 cells, whereas values of 3.0-42 μM are observed in cell lines from lung, colon, ovary, neuronal, glial, prostate, and pancreas. The only other tumor type that shows appreciable growth inhibition by ANI-7 is the A431 vulva cell line (GI50 of 0.51μM)[1][1].
ANI-7 potently inhibits the growth of T47D, ZR-75-1, MCF-7, SKBR3, and MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells (GI50 range of 0.16-0.38 μM), moderately inhibits the growth of BT20 and BT474 cells (GI50 range of 1-2 μM), and essentially fails to inhibit the growth of MDA-MB-231 and MCF10A cells (GI50 range of 17-26 μM). Moreover, ANI-7 maintained its ability to inhibit the growth of drug-resistant cells (MCF-7/VP16: GI50 of 0.21 μM)[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 (7.91 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% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (7.91 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

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.
