  3. VPC-14449

VPC-14449 is a potent and selective inhibitor of the DNA-binding domain of the androgen receptor (AR-DBD), with IC50 of 0.34 μM for full-length human AR. VPC-14449 reduces the ability of full-length AR as well as AR variants to interact with chromatin. VPC-14449 can be used for the research of prostate cancer.

Description

VPC-14449 is a potent and selective inhibitor of the DNA-binding domain of the androgen receptor (AR-DBD), with IC50 of 0.34 μM for full-length human AR. VPC-14449 reduces the ability of full-length AR as well as AR variants to interact with chromatin. VPC-14449 can be used for the research of prostate cancer[1][2].

IC50 & Target

IC50: 0.34 μM (AR-DBD)[1]

In Vitro

VPC-14449 (0.01-100 μM; 24 h) inhibits AR-transcriptional activity and cell viability in LNCaP, C4-2, MR49F, and 22Rv1 cells[2].
VPC-14449 (0.01-100 μM; 24 h) dose-dependently inhibits the transiently expressed full-length human AR in PC3 cells (IC50=0.34 μM) without affecting AR protein expression[1].

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

Cell Viability Assay[2]

Cell Line: LNCaP, C4-2, MR49F, and 22Rv1 cells
Concentration: 0.01, 0.1, 10, 100 μM
Incubation Time: 24 hours
Result: Suppressed the growth of every tested cell line.

Western Blot Analysis[2]

Cell Line: LNCaP, C4-2, MR49F, and 22Rv1 cells
Concentration: 0.01, 0.1, 10, 100 μM
Incubation Time: 24 hours
Result: Inhibited endogenous AR transactivation in LNCaP, C4-2 and MR49F cells stimulated with the synthetic androgen R1881.
In Vivo

VPC-14449 (100 mg/kg; i.p. twice daily for 4 weeks) reduces tumor volume and abolishes PSA production with no decrease in body weight over a total duration 4 weeks in LNCaP xenograft model[1].

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

Animal Model: Nude mice (Harlan Sprague-Dawley; 25-31 g; 6-8 weeks) were subcutaneously inoculated with LNCaP cells and castrated[1]
Dosage: 100 mg/kg
Administration: I.p. twice daily for 4 weeks
Result: Suppressed LNCaP tumor volume and blocked serum PSA production.

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 (5.28 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% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.28 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 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.
