CCF-642 is a protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) inhibitor. In 10 of 10 multiple myeloma cell lines, CCF642 showed a submicromolar IC50. Compared to the structurally distinct established inhibitors PACMA 31 and LOC14, CCF642 had a 100-fold greater inhibitory effect on PDI reductase activity in vitro. CCF642 demonstrated strong efficacy in an aggressive syngeneic mouse model of multiple myeloma and increased the life expectancy of C57BL/KaLwRij mice engrafted with 5TGM1-luc myeloma, exhibiting effects similar to those of the first-line multiple myeloma treatment bortezomib.

Biological Activity
| Targets | PDI (IC50 = 2.9 μM) | 
| ln Vitro | CCF642 is about 100-fold more potent than the structurally distinct established inhibitors PACMA 31 and LOC14 at inhibiting PDI reductase activity in vitro. A novel covalent binding mode in active-site CGHCK motifs is suggested by computational modeling. In multiple myeloma cells, CCF642 induces calcium release that promotes apoptosis in addition to acute ER stress[1]. | 
| ln Vivo | CCF642 exhibits strong efficacy in an aggressive syngeneic mouse model of multiple myeloma and extends the life of C57BL/KaLwRij mice engrafted with 5TGM1-luc myeloma, an effect similar to the first-line multiple myeloma treatment bortezomib[1]. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO: ≥ 30 mg/mL (~79.3 mM) | 
| Solubility (In Vivo) | Solubility in Formulation 1:  0.62 mg/mL (1.64 mM) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 +5% Tween-80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 6.2 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 + to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
