Biological Activity

Description Combretastatin A4 is a microtubule-targeting agent that binds β-tubulin with Kd of 0.4 μM.Phase 3.
Targets
β-tubulin [1]
0.4 μM(Kd)
In vitro
In vitro Combretastatin A4 inhibits the growth of MDA-MB-231, A549, Hela, HL-60, SF295, HCT-8, MDA-MB435, PC3M, OVCAR-8, NCI-H358M, and lymphocyte cells with IC50 of 2.8, 3.8, 0.9, 2.1, 6.2, 5.3, 7.9, 4.7, 0.37, 8, and 3.2 nM, respectively.[1] [2] 1 μM Combretastatin A4 inhibits tubulin polymerization by 35%, and 10 μM nearly completely blocks tubulin polymerization. Combretastatin A4 demonstrates great relative binding capacity, reaching 78% of colchicine binding.[1]
Kinase Assay Competitive binding assay using LC-MS/MS
Colchicine (1.2 μ M) is incubated with tubulin (1.3 mg/mL) in the incubation buffer (80 mM PIPES, 2.0 mM MgCl2, 0.5 mM EGTA, pH 6.9) at 37℃ for 1 h. Varying concentrations (0.1 − 125 μ M) of Combretastatin A4 are used to compete with colchicine originally bound to tubulin. After incubation, the filtrate is obtained. The ability of the analogue to inhibit the binding of colchicine is expressed as a percentage of control binding in the absence of any competitor.
Cell Research Cell lines MDA-MB-231, A549, and Hela cells
Concentrations ~3.8 nM
Incubation Time 72 h
Method MDA-MB-231, A549, and HeLa cells are grown in DMEM medium (115 units/mL of penicillin G, 115 μg/mL of streptomycin, and 10% fetal bovine serum). Cells are seeded in 96-well plates (5000 cells/well) containing 50 μL of growth medium for 24 h. After medium removal, 100 μL of fresh medium containing individual analogue compounds at different concentrations is added to each well and incubated at 37 ℃ for 72 h. After 24 h of culture, the cells are supplemented with 50 μL of analogue compounds dissolved in DMSO (less than 0.25% in each preparation). After 72 h of incubation, 20 μL of resazurin is added for 2 h before recording fluorescence at 560 nm (excitation) and 590 nm (emission) using a Victor microtiter plate fluorimeter. The IC50 is defined as the compound concentration required to inhibit cell proliferation by 50% in comparison with cells treated with the maximum amount of DMSO (0.25%) and considered as 100% viability.
In Vivo
In vivo In NT2 and MDA-MB-231 mammary tumor model, administration of Combretastatin A4 (100 mg/kg, i.p.) induces a significant decrease in lipids R1 and a reduction in tumor pO2 measured by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) oximetry.[2] Combretastatin A4 (100 mg/kg, i.p.) significant decreases the Ktrans in male NMRI mice.[3]
Animal Research Animal Models FVB/N or nude NMRI female mice bearing NT2 and MDA-MB-231 tumors
Dosages 100 mg/kg
Administration i.p.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1:
How to make solution for in vivo IP injection?

Answer:
We've tested some vehicles for S7783 Combretastatin A4, and found it can be dissolved in 5% DMSO+50% PEG 300+ddH2O at 30mg/ml clearly. When prepare the solution, please dissolve the compound in DMSO clearly first. The add PEG, after they mixed well, then dilute with water.
