Biological Activity

Targets	IC50: 1.72 μM (p27Kip1 ubiquitination)[1]
ln Vitro	CC0651 significantly reduces the rate of ubiquitin chain initiation on substrates by SCFCdc4, as evaluated by the monoubiquitination of Sic1 by K0 ubiquitin. CC0651 really increases the synthesis of both ubiquitin dimers and monoubiquitinated hCdc34, which is consistent with the observed buildup of the hCdc34 conjugate in cells treated with the ester derivative of CC0651. CC0651 totally inhibits polyubiquitin chain assembly and reduces the generation of free triubiquitin and, to a lesser extent, hCdc34 monoubiquitin, while having no effect on diubiquitin production[1]. CC0651 is an inhibitor of the E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme Cdc34A. It works by trapping a weak contact between ubiquitin and the E2 donor ubiquitin binding site. A quantitative SCF ubiquitination assay with a β-Catenin substrate peptide reveals an IC50 of 18±1 μM for CC0651 inhibition, which is consistent with the effective doses seen in the NMR and TR-FRET assays[2].
Cell Assay	PC-3 and HCT116 cell lines are grown in DMEM supplemented with Penicillin/Streptomycin, 2 mM glutamine, and 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Lentiviral shRNA constructs for human CDC34, UBE2R2, and nontarget control are used. For proliferation assays, PC-3 cultures are seeded at 5000 cells/well in quadruplicate in 24-well plates, grown for 24 hr, and then infected with lentiviral supernatant. For small-molecule inhibition, cells are seeded in quadruplicate at 500 cells/well in 96-well plates, grown for 24 hr, and treated with compound. Proliferation is measured by MTT assay. PC-3 or HCT 116 cultures are synchronized in G0/G1 by serum starvation for 30 hr and then released by addition of 10% serum. For epistasis experiments, PC-3 cells are infected with CDC34 shRNA for 24 hr, followed by addition of inhibitor and assessment of proliferation after 4 days. Anti-Cdc34, anti-p27, anti-α-tubulin, anti-ubiquitin, and anti-cyclin E antibodies are used[1].

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.

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.)

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
