Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | Compound 4k, also known as BS-194, has a 72-hour half-life of 100 nM to 1 μM and can suppress the growth of multiple cancer cells, including MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, MCF-10A, CPLO-205, HCT-116, A549, SaOS2, PC3, HepG2, and SK-Ov-3[1]. In the S phase and G2/M phase of HCT116 cells, BS-194 (10 μM, 24 hours) stimulates cell cycle arrest [1]. In HCT116 cells, BS-194 (10 μM, 24 hours) reduces CDK substrate phosphorylation and encourages cyclin loss [1]. |
| ln Vivo | In MCF-7 tumor xenografts, BS-194 (Compound 4K, intraperitoneally administered, 5 or 10 mg/kg twice daily for 14 days) reduces tumor growth without appearing to be harmful [1]. With elimination half-lives of 147 minutes (ip), 210 minutes (iv), and 178 minutes (po), BS-194 (ip, iv, po, 10 mg/kg) is orally accessible [1]. In nu/nu-BALB/c athymic nude mice, BS-194 (oral gavage, 25 mg/mL) decreases the fast phosphorylation of RB and PolII (RNA polymerase II) but restores it in less than a day [1]. In HCT116 tumor xenografts, BS-194 (oral gavage, 25 mg/kg daily for 14 days) suppresses tumor growth without significantly lowering the animal's body weight [1]. |
| Cell Assay |
Cell cycle analysis [1] Cell Types: HCT116 Tested Concentrations: 0, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 μM Incubation Duration: 24 h Experimental Results: G1 phase was Dramatically diminished, S phase and G2/M phase were increased. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Types: HCT116 Tested Concentrations: 0, 0.1, 10, 20 μM Incubation Duration: 0, 0.1, 10, 20 μM Experimental Results: Inhibition of CDK2 Substrate RB (Retinoblastoma) Ser-780, Ser Phospho-795, Ser-801, Ser-807/Ser-811 and Thr-821. Levels of cyclin A, cyclin B, and cyclin D1 were inhibited. Inhibits the phosphorylation of CDK2 Thr-170. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Nude mice carrying MCF-7 cells [1] Doses: 5 or 10 mg/kg twice (two times) daily for 14 days. Mode of Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection Experimental Results: Inhibition of tumor growth in a dose-dependent manner (30% and 40% reduction at 5 mg/kg dose and 10 mg/kg dose, respectively). Animal/Disease Models: HCT116 tumor xenografts [1] Doses: 25 mg/kg daily for 14 days. Mode of Route of Administration: po (oral gavage). Experimental Results: At 25 mg/kg, the tumor growth inhibition rate was diminished by 50%. Rb phosphorylation levels at Ser807/811 and Thr821 were diminished (in resected tumors). Animal/Disease Models: Mice (pharmacokinetic/PK/PK determination) [1] Doses: 10 mg/kg Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection, intravenous (iv) (iv)injection, oral administration Experimental Results: pharmacokinetic/PK/PK characteristics of BS-194 (compound 4k).

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.
