Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | AMPK activator 11 (Compound 18a) has an IC50 value of less than 1 μM and suppresses the proliferation and migration of CRC cells (0-30 μM; 0-7 days) [1]. AMPK activator 11 (0-0.1 μM; 24 hours) caused a small change in the extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) but a large increase in the global oxygen consumption rate (OCR) of RKO cells. AMPK activator 11 can selectively stimulate OXPHOS in CRC and upregulates the expression of p-AMPK and mitochondrial complexes III and V [1]. |
| ln Vivo | In vitro xenogeneic tumor models, AMPK activator 11 (Compound 18a) preferentially reduces tumor growth in RKO cells at doses of 2.5 or 10 mg/kg intraperitoneally for a duration of 25 days, all without causing toxicity [1]. |
| Cell Assay |
Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Types: CRC cells Tested Concentrations: 0-30 μM Incubation Duration: 0-7 days Experimental Results: Selectively inhibited the growth and migration of CRC cells. Inhibited the proliferation of different CRCs with IC50 values below 1 μM. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Types: RKO cells Tested Concentrations: 0.1 μM Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Upregulated the expression of p- AMPK and mitochondrial complex III and V and has the ability to selectively activate OXPHOS. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: RKO cells related axenograft model on male BALB/nude mice[1] Doses: 2.5 or 10 mg/kg Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip)injection for 25 days Experimental Results: Resulted in 58.2% tumor growth inhibition, with no significant weight loss observed. Resulted in 77.1% inhibition of tumor growth but also caused a 36% weight loss. Immunohistochemistry results also demonstrated activation of AMPK in tumor tissue. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | May dissolve in DMSO (in most cases), if not, try other solvents such as H2O, Ethanol, or DMF with a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples. Injection Formulations (e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80： Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 ：Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals). Injection Formulation 4: DMSO : 20% SBE-β-CD in saline = 10 : 90 [i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL (20% SBE-β-CD in saline)] *Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C，1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 5: 2-Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin : Saline = 50 : 50 (i.e. 500 μL 2-Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin → 500 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 6: DMSO : PEG300 : castor oil : Saline = 5 : 10 : 20 : 65 (i.e. 50 μL DMSO → 100 μLPEG300 → 200 μL castor oil → 650 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 7: Ethanol : Cremophor : Saline = 10： 10 : 80 (i.e. 100 μL Ethanol → 100 μL Cremophor → 800 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 8: Dissolve in Cremophor/Ethanol (50 : 50), then diluted by Saline Injection Formulation 9: EtOH : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL EtOH → 900 μL Corn oil) Injection Formulation 10: EtOH : PEG300：Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL EtOH → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Oral Formulations Oral Formulation 1: Suspend in 0.5% CMC Na (carboxymethylcellulose sodium) Oral Formulation 2: Suspend in 0.5% Carboxymethyl cellulose Example: Take the Oral Formulation 1 (Suspend in 0.5% CMC Na) as an example, if 100 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can first prepare 0.5% CMC Na solution by measuring 0.5 g CMC Na and dissolve it in 100 mL ddH2O to obtain a clear solution; then add 250 mg of the product to 100 mL 0.5% CMC Na solution, to make the suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals). Oral Formulation 3: Dissolved in PEG400 Oral Formulation 4: Suspend in 0.2% Carboxymethyl cellulose Oral Formulation 5: Dissolve in 0.25% Tween 80 and 0.5% Carboxymethyl cellulose Oral Formulation 6: Mixing with food powders Note: Please be aware that the above formulations are for reference only. InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently. (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
