In vitro
Wnt-C59 (C59) is claimed to inhibit PORCN enzyme activity at nanomolar concentrations. At 10 nM, it blocks the palmitoylation-dependent Wnt–WLS interaction in HeLa cells transfected with either WNT3A-V5 or WNT8A-V5 plasmids. This compound (100 nM) prevents incorporation of palmitate into WNT3A in HeLa cells transfected with WNT3A-V5, consistent with inhibition of PORCN activity. It (100 nM) inhibits the activity of all splice variants of murine PORCN in PORCN-null HT1080 cells transfected with PORCN. Wnt-C59 is a nanomolar inhibitor of mammalian PORCN acyltransferase activity and blocks activation of all evaluated human Wnts. It does not significantly inhibit the proliferation of any of 46 tested cancer cell lines in vitro at concentrations that completely inhibit PORCN. Wnt-C59 is capable to significantly inhibit proliferation and comparable to the ICG-001 treated NMuMG (NMG) cells. It inhibits sphere formation by threefold in NMuMG (NMG) cells, which is dependent on Wnt10b-secretion. This compound inhibits proliferation of human MDA-MB 231 cells by >50%. As a Porcupine inhibitor, it blocks radiolabel incorporation of [125I]iodo-pentadecanoate in mouse L-Wnt3a cells transfected with Flag-Porcupine.
In vivo
Wnt-C59 (C59) concentration remains greater than 10-fold above the in vitro IC50 for at least 16 hours following a single oral dose (5 mg/kg) in mice. At 10 mg/kg, it prevents growth of MMTV-WNT1 tumors in female nude mice orthotopically transplanted with independent MMTV-WNT1 tumors. This compound also decreases Wnt pathway activity and proliferation in such tumors, as evident by reduced expression of β-catenin target genes. When topically administered at 10% for 4 weeks, it reduces the size of dysplasia in SmoM2-expressing cells in adult K14CREER/Rosa–SmoM2 mice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1:
I want to use it for i.p. injection, can you advise how to dissolve this compound?

Answer:
It can be dissolved in 2% DMSO+30% PEG 300+5% Tween 80+ddH2O at 5 mg/ml as a clear solution. After stayed for a while, the precipitation will go out. So it is recommended to prepare the solution just before use.
