DSR-6434 (DSR6434) is a novel and selective Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonist with antitumor effects. It activated TLR7 with EC50s of 7.2 nM and 4.6 nM for human and mice TLR7, respectively. DSR-6434 exhibited an optimal balance between the agonistic potency and high water solubility. It also demonstrated a strong antitumor effect in vivo by intravenous administration in a tumor bearing mice model.

Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | An NF-κB-driven reporter experiment is carried out in HEK293 cells that have been modified to express either hTLR7, TLR8, or TLR9 in order to evaluate the selectivity of DSR-6434 toward TLR7. In this experiment, NF-κB is activated upon successful binding of DSR-6434 to the particular receptor. Only HEK293 cells expressing hTLR7 can be stimulated by DSR-6434 to activate reporter genes; HEK293 cells expressing hTLR8 or hTLR9, which are physically identical, cannot be stimulated[2]. |
| ln Vivo | Compound 20 (0.1–1 mg/kg; intravenous injection; every two weeks; B6C3F1 mice) administered intraperitoneally for four weeks strongly suppresses lung metastasis, with 78% suppression at 0.1 mg/kg dose (no tumor metastasis in the 1 mg/kg group)[1]. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: B6C3F1 mice injected with HM-1 ovarian cancer cells[1] Doses: 0.1 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg Route of Administration: intravenous (iv) injection; biweekly; for 4 weeks Experimental Results: Suppressed the Lung metastasis Dramatically, 78% inhibition was seen at 0.1 mg/kg dosing (with no tumor metastasis at the 1 mg/kg group). |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ~125 mg/mL (~312.13 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 1 mg/mL (2.50 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (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 10.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL of Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL of 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. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 1 mg/mL (2.50 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 10.0 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.) |
