ST-401, a microtubule-targeting agent (MTA), is a brain-penetrant microtubule (MT) assembly inhibitor. ST-401 disrupts microtubule (MT) function through gentle and reverisible reduction in MT assembly that triggers mitotic delay and cell death in interphase. ST-401 shows a potent antitumor activity.

Description

ST-401, a microtubule-targeting agent (MTA), is a brain-penetrant microtubule (MT) assembly inhibitor. ST-401 disrupts microtubule (MT) function through gentle and reverisible reduction in MT assembly that triggers mitotic delay and cell death in interphase. ST-401 shows a potent antitumor activity[1].

In Vitro

ST-401 is a hybrid molecule that combines a secondary alcohol and quinoline in one structure. ST-401 competes for 89% of [3H]colchicine binding to tubulin. In a turbidity assay, ST-401 inhibits tubulin assembly with an IC50 of 1.1 µM. In a pelleting assay that measures release of free tubulin, ST-401 inhibits tubulin assembly with comparable IC50 value of 3.2 µM[1].
ST-401 exhibits similar antitumor activities in the low nanomolar range in most human cancer cell lines, including the six glioma lines (SF-268, SF-295, SF-539, SNB-19, SNB-75, and U251: IC50s 23-69 nM)[1].
ST-401 shows the antitumor activity in PD-glioma is in the low nanomolar (IC50: 24-47 nM)[1].
ST-401 (72 h) reduces overall cell viability in MGG8 and T98G cells with comparable IC50s (14 and 36 nM, respectively)[1].

In Vivo

ST-401 (20 mg/kg; i.p; bidaily; 5 days/week for 4 weeks) demonstrates significant antitumor activity and no over toxicity in a xenograft flank tumor mouse model[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: ≥ 5 mg/mL (14.19 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 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% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (14.19 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 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 (50.0 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.
