SDS COA Handling Instructions

MSC-4381 (MCT4-IN-1) is an orally active and selective monocarboxylate transporter 4 (MCT4/SLC16A3) inhibitor with an IC50 of 77 nM and a Ki of 11 nM. MSC-4381 targets to the cytosolic domain of MCT4. MSC-4381 results in lactate efflux inhibition and reduction of cellular viability in MCT4 high expressing cells. MSC-4381 has the potential for MCT4 transporter inhibition research. MSC-4381 is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.

In Vitro

MSC-4381 (compound 18n) inhibits lactate efflux in the MDA-MB-231 cell line with an IC50 of 1 nM. The on-target activity is confirmed with a Ki of 11 nM by fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy (FCCS)[1].
MSC-4381 does not inhibit lactate efflux to a similar extent in SNU-398 and MiaPaca2, and only 600-fold less in RT-4 cell lines[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 (3.87 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.

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.
