In Vitro

TAI-1 disrupts Hec1-Nek2 protein interaction, leads to Nek2 degradation, induces significant chromosomal misalignment in metaphase, and induces apoptotic cell death[1].
TAI-1 induces cancer cell death through the induction of cleavage of apoptotic proteins Caspase 3 and PARP and degradation of anti-apoptotic proteins MCL-1 and suggests that TAI-1 leads to activation of the apoptotic pathways[1].
TAI-1 is effective in many cancer cells, such as Chronic myeloid leukemia, Cervical cancer, Breast, metastatic-pleural, invasive ductal carcinoma, Acute myeloid leukemia, Myelogenous leukemia, Colorectal carcinoma cells, with GI50 less than 100 nM[1].

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

In Vivo

TAI-1 (20 mg/kg intravenously IV/ or 150 mg/kg per oral PO/BID) inhibits tumor growth in multiple cancer xenograft models[1].

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

Animal Model: C.B-17 SCID mice (6-7 weeks, 21-24 g)[1].
Dosage: 20 mg/kg intravenously IV/ or 150 mg/kg per oral PO/BID.
Administration: QDx28 cycles.
Result: Led to significant tumor growth retardation in Huh-7 and modest tumor inhibition was noted tor the Colo205 and MDA-MB-231 models.
Did not lead to any loss in body weight.

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    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.79 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 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 (25.0 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.
