Description

Minnelide is a prodrug of triptolide that shows potent antitumor activity in a number of tumor types, particularly in pancreatic cancer. Minnelide promotes apoptosis[1].

In Vitro

Minnelide (0-200 nM; 48 hours) shows significantly decreased cell viability in pancreatic cancer cell lines after treatment in the presence, but not in the absence, of phosphatase[2].

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

Cell Viability Assay[2]

Cell Line: Pancreatic cancer cell line: S2-013, MIA PaCa-2, S2-VP10, and Panc-1 cells
Concentration: 0.100 nM, 200 nM
Incubation Time: 48 hours
Result: Decreased cell viability of in vitro.
In Vivo

Minnelide (injection intraperitoneally; 0.1-0.6 mg/kg; once daily or twice daily) leads to a marked decrease in tumor weight and volume at the end of treatment and increases survival in orthotopic model of pancreatic cancer with MIA PaCa-2–derived human pancreatic tumors[2].
Minnelide (injection intraperitoneally; 0.42 mg/kg; once daily; 28 days) prevents locoregional spread and leads to a decrease in average tumor weight in a xenograft model of pancreatic cancer with metastatic S2-013 cells[2].
Minnelide (injection intraperitoneally; 0.42 mg/kg, 0.21 mg/kg; once daily) causes tumor regression and tumors from Minnelide-treated animals showed fibrosis and the presence of pyknotic nuclei in human pancreatic cancer xenografts in SCID mice[2].

Animal Model: Xenograft model of pancreatic cancer with metastatic S2-013 cell line in athymic nude mice[2]
Dosage: 0.42 mg/kg
Administration: Injection intraperitoneally; 0.42 mg/kg; once daily
Result: Prevented extensive spread from the primary site of injection.
Animal Model: Human pancreatic cancer xenografts in SCID mice[2]

Administration: Injection intraperitoneally; 0.42 mg/kg; once daily
Result: Reduced tumor burden in human xenografts from patients.

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: ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (3.25 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (16.7 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: ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (3.25 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (16.7 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.
