Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | CA224 (Compound 1) (48 hours) treatment against human cancer cell lines demonstrated antiproliferative efficacy [1]. CA224 (18–48 hours) selectively destroys SV40 large T antigen-transformed normal mouse embryonic liver cells (BNL S A.8) and inhibits the growth of cancer cells in the G0/G1 and G2/M phases of the cell cycle [1][2]. Tubulin polymerization is inhibited and stable tubulin depolymerization is enhanced by CA224 (0–4 µM, 30 min) [1]. Cancer cells undergo apoptosis when exposed to CA224 (0-72 h) [1]. Inhibiting CYP3A4, CYP2D6, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19 by 50%, 14%, 51%, and 19%, respectively, is the effect of CA224 (10 μM) [1]. |
| ln Vivo | Significant tumor growth inhibition was demonstrated by CA224 (Compound 1) (100 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; once daily for 9 days) without overt toxicity [1]. |
| Cell Assay |

Cell cycle analysis[1][2] Cell Types: A549, NCI-H1299, NCI-H358, BNL CL2, BNL SV A.8 and Calu-1 Tested Concentrations: IC50 concentration (IC70 for Calu-1) Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours) 18 hrs (hours) for NCI-H358 and 48 hrs (hours) for BNL CL2 and BNL SV for A549, NCI-H1299 and Calu-1 A.8 Experimental Results: Deep blockade was induced at G2/M in A549 and NCI-H1299 cells. Maintenance of nocodazole- and paclitaxel-induced G2/M arrest in NCI-H358 cells. BNL CL2 cells exhibit significant G2/M phase arrest. In BNL S A.8 cells 31% of cells were detected in sub-G1 phase (control: 0%). G0/G1 blockade is preserved in serum- |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice, which lack T and B immune cells. Male mice weighing 18~25 g and 6~8 weeks old were injected subcutaneously (sc) (sc) with HCT-116, and female mice weighing 15~24 g and 6~8 weeks old were injected subcutaneously (sc) (sc) with NCI-H460[1]. Doses: 100 mg/kg Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection, one time/day for 9 days. Experimental Results: It demonstrated significant tumor growth inhibition in both HCT-116 and NCI-H460 tumor models, and there was no significant decrease in body weight. Animal/Disease Models: balb/c (Bagg ALBino) mouse [1] Doses: 10 mg/kg (oral) or 1.0 mg/kg (iv) Route of Administration: Oral or intravenous (iv) (iv)(pharmacokinetic/PK/PK analysis) Experimental Results: After IV and PO Determination of administrative pharmacokinetic/PK/PK parameters of CA224 [1].

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ~100 mg/mL (~282.14 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.05 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
