Biological Activity

Description

CITCO is a potent and selective constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) agonist with EC50 of 49 nM. CITCO displays >50-fold selectivity for CAR over PXR in the transient transfection assay.

Targets
CAR [1]
(in CAR/SRC-1 FRET assay)
49 nM(EC50)
In vitro
In vitro

CITCO (1-50 μM; 48 hours) results in a dose-dependent inhibition of viable cell count and proliferation in both T98G and U87MG glioma and BTSCs. CITCO (2.5, 5 μM; 48 hours) induces cell cycle arrest differentially in different BTSCs in culture, but not in normal astrocytes. CITCO (2.5-10 μM; 48 hours) induces apoptosis in BTSCs in culture in dose dependently, but not in normal astrocytes. CITCO (0-25 μM; 48 hours) causes the T98G and U87MG glioma and BTSCs expressing very low levels of CAR protein.<sup><a class="sref" href="#s_ref">[2]</a></sup>

Cell Research Cell lines Human glioma cell lines, primary human astrocytes
Concentrations 1, 2.5, 5, 10, 25, 50 μM
Incubation Time 48 h
Method

The glioma cells are dissociated using 0.25% trypsin with 0.05 mM EDTA solution and subcultured once in 3–5 days. Primary human astrocytes are cultured in astrocyte medium.Cells are cultured in the absence or presence of CITCO at 37°C for different time points for proliferation assay, cell cycle analysis, apoptosis assay.

In Vivo
In vivo

CITCO with 25 μg results a significant decrease in tumour growth, which further decreases to an undetectable level after treatment with 100 μg CITCO. <sup><a class="sref" href="#s_ref">[2]</a></sup>

Animal Research Animal Models Six- to eight-week-old male athymic nude mice
Dosages 25 μg, 100 μg

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
