Tegatrabetan(also known as Tegavivint; BC-2059; BC 2059; BC2059) is an orally bioavailable and potent β-catenin inhibitor with potential anticancer activity. BC2059 potently induces apoptosis as a single agent and in combination with bortezomib in multiple myeloma. BC2059 induced apoptosis in 10/10 genetically heterogeneous human myeloma cell lines (HMCL) treated with dosages ranging from 50-500nM.

Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | Tegatrabetan (BC2059; 20-100 nM; 48 hours) promotes dose-dependent apoptosis in cultured human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) HL-60, OCI-AML3, and MV4-11 cells and suppresses cell proliferation in suspension culture for more than 120 hours [1]. Tegatrabetan (20 and 50 nM; 24 hours) causes the cell cycle's G2/M phase to diminish concurrently with a minor but considerable accumulation of cells in the G0/G1 phase [1]. In OCI-AML3, HL-60, and MV4-11 cells, tegatrabetan (100 nM, 24 hours) reduces β-catenin levels and its target genes, such as c-MYC and survivin, without changing TBL1 levels [1]. |
| ln Vivo | The median survival of mice treated intravenously with tatetrabetan (BC2059; 1.0 or 5.0 mg/kg/day) increased dramatically from about 17.5 days to 39 days. Intravenous Tegatrabetan (10 mg/kg/day) treatment was the only way to increase median survival to 51.5 days [1]. |

| Additional Infomation | Tegavivint is a small molecule inhibitor of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon intravenous administration, tegavivint binds to transducin beta-like protein 1 (TBL1) and disrupts the binding of beta-catenin to TBL1. This promotes beta-catenin degradation, attenuates nuclear and cytoplasmic levels of beta-catenin, and reduces transcriptional activity of transcription factor 4 (TCF4) and expression of its target genes, cyclin D1, c-Myc and survivin. The Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway regulates cell morphology, motility, and proliferation; aberrant regulation of this pathway leads to neoplastic proliferation. Beta-catenin is frequently mutated in various tumors. |
Solubility Data

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.5 mg/mL (4.25 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 (4.25 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with ultrasonication. 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 (4.25 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.) |
