Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | The findings demonstrated that at test levels of 10, 30, and 60 μM, Lith-O-Asp did not clearly suppress the proliferation of various cancer cell lines. An in vitro activity study demonstrated Lith-O-Asp's capacity to suppress ST3Gal I, ST3Gal III, and ST6Gal I activities. The range of IC50 values is 12–37 μM. The expression of a-2,3- and a-2,6-sialylated antigens on the cell surface was dramatically downregulated, according to flow cytometry. The findings demonstrated that a-2,3- and a-2,3- and a-2,6-sialylated antigens' activity was decreased by Lith-O-Asp. sialic acid transport to target glycoproteins is consequently inhibited by -2,6-sialyltransferase [1]. |
| ln Vivo | Using the IVIS in vivo imaging technology, a significant number of secondary metastatic cancer cells were found in the lung tissue of DMSO control animals 26 days after fat pad inoculation. On the other hand, mice given Lith-O-Asp had fewer lung metastases. All of the DMSO-treated mice had secondary lung metastases confirmed, whereas only three of the eight Lith-O-Asp-treated mice had lung metastases. The average tumor nodules per mouse in the DMSO-treated group was 11±9 nodules, whereas the average tumor nodules per mouse in the Lith-O-Asp-treated group was 2±4 nodules. Moreover, the 4T1-Luc illumination signal on days 7 and 9 was substantially stronger in control mice than in mice injected with cancer cells treated with Lith-O-Asp [1]. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ~100 mg/mL (~203.39 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.5 mg/mL (5.08 mM) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 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 25.0 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. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.08 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in 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 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.08 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.) |
