Product Description

Vactosertib (formerly EW-7197; TEW-7197) is a highly potent, selective, ATP-competitive and orally bioavailable inhibitor of the TGF-β receptor ALK4/ALK5 (activin receptor-like kinase) with potential anticancer activity. Vactosertib inhibited ALK5 with an IC50 of 13 nM in a kinase assay and with IC50 values of 165 and 121 nM in HaCaT (3TP-luc) stable cells and 4T1 (3TP-luc) stable cells, respectively, in a luciferase assay. Selectivity profiling of Vactosertib using a panel of 320 protein kinases revealed that it is a highly selective ALK5/ALK4 inhibitor with IC50 values of 13 nM and 11 nM respectively. Pharmacokinetic study with vactosertib in rats showed an oral bioavailability of 51%. Vactosertib has potential anti-cancer activity and is currently undergoing a phase I clinical study for multiple myeloma and advanced stage solid tumors.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Vactosertib (10-1000 nM; 30 minutes; 4T1 cells) treatment suppresses TGFβ-induced Smad2 or Smad3 phosphorylation in 4T1 cells in a dose-dependent manner [1]. In 4T1 and MCF10A cells, vactosertib prevents TGFβ-induced Smad2/3 nuclear translocation. In 4T1 cells, Vactosertib's IC50 value against pSmad3 is 10–30 nM[1]. TGFb1-induced tumor cell migration and invasion can be stopped by vactosertib [1]. TGFβ1 upregulates FN1, HMGA2 (high mobility group AT-hook 2), SNAI1 and SNAI2 (Snail family zinc fingers 1 and 2, respectively) and downregulates CDH1 mRNA levels. Furthermore, TGFβ1-induced effects on genes associated to the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) were eliminated by vactosertib [1].
ln Vivo
MMTV/c-Neu female mice treated with vabotosertib (40 mg/kg; i.p.; every other day; for 10 weeks) are less likely to exhibit lung metastases, cell migration, invasion, and Smad/TGFβ signaling [1]. Additionally, in 4T1 orthotopically transplanted mice and in breast cancer cells treated with TGFβ, vactosertib suppresses the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Furthermore, in 4T1 orthotopic transplanted mice, vactosertib can increase the activity of cytotoxic T cells and extend the survival period of 4T1-Luc and 4T1 breast cancer tumor-bearing animals [1].

Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.5 mg/mL (6.26 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.

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.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
