Biological Activity

Description PX-12 (DB05448, 1-methyl propyl 2-imidazolyl disulfide) is a potent thioredoxin-1 (Trx-1) inhibitor by irreversibly thioalkylation of Cys73 of Trx-1. Phase 2.
Targets
Trx-1 [1]
In vitro
In vitro In MCF-7 and HT-29 cells, PX-12 prevents the hypoxia (1% oxygen)-induced increase in HIF-1alpha protein, and decreases HIF-1-trans-activating activity, VEGF formation, and inducible nitric oxide synthase. PX-12 also inhibits the growth of MCF-7 and HT-29 cells with IC50s of 1.9 μM and 2.9μM, respectively. [1] PX-12 also inhibits HIF-1α protein levels through an Nrf2/PMF-1-mediated increase. [2] In A549 cells, PX-12 inhibits cell growth via G2/M phase arrest, and Bax-mediated and ROS-dependent apoptosis. [3] In hepatocelluar carcinoma cells, PX-12 exerts a synergistic effect with 5-FU to significantly suppress tumorigenicity. [4]
Cell Research Cell lines MCF-7 and HT-29 cells
Concentrations ~10 μM
Incubation Time 72 h
Method Cell growth is measured using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Cells are exposed to a range of concentrations of PX-12 or pleurotin for 16 h in air or hypoxia (1% oxygen). The cells are then washed with warm drug-free medium and grown in air for the remainder of the 72-h incubation.
In Vivo
In vivo In mice bearing MCF-7 tumor xenografts, PX-12 (12 mg/kg, i.p.) decreases HIF-1α and VEGF protein levels and microvessel density. [1]

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.
