Product Description

4E1RCat is a potent and dual inhibitor of eIF4E:eIF4G and eIF4E:4E-BP1 protein-protein interaction, and also inhibits the binding of eIF4G to eIF4E with IC50 of 3.2 μM. Cap-dependent translation is inhibited and eIF4F complex assembly is prevented by 4E1RCat. It was confirmed that 4E1RCat specifically inhibited 5′-cap-mediated translation by significantly inhibiting 5′-cap-mediated mCherry synthesis while having minimal effect on IRES-mediated DIAPH1-HA synthesis.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
eIF4
ln Vitro
4E1RCat is an inhibitor of eIF4E:eIF4GI interaction, with an IC50 an of ~4 μM. Additionally, 4E-BP and eIF4G binding is impeded by 4E1RCat binding to eIF4E? In a manner dependent on the cap, 4E1RCat prevents ribosome recruitment to mRNA[1]. 4E1RCat inhibits the translation of capped mRNA, while CDK1/CYCB1 initiates the translation. HeLa and U2OS cells exhibit nearly complete cap-dependent and -sensitive new protein synthesis during both mitosis and interphase, in response to 4E1RCat treatment[2].
ln Vivo
4E1RCat (15 mg/kg, i.p.) affects the chemosensitivity of Pten+/-Eμ-Myc tumors in mice. In mice, 4E1RCat (15 mg/kg, i.p.) targets translation and sensitizes Pten+/-Eμ-Myc and Tsc2+/-Eμ-Myc lymphomas to the cytotoxic effects of doxorubicin (Dxr)[1].
Cell Assay
TSC2sup>+/-Eμ-Myc and Eμ-Myc lymphomas are cultured at 10sup>6 cells/mL in 96-well plates with varying concentrations of 4E1RCat (78.13 nM to 10 000 nM) and doxorubicin (Dxr) at a constant ratio of either 20:1 or 40:1. Dxr ranges from 3.9 nM to 250 nM. 24 hours later, an MTS assay is carried out. In order to achieve this, the plates are loaded with the Cell Proliferation Assay, and they are then incubated for a maximum of three hours before the OD490 is measured. The values acquired are normalized in comparison to DMSO controls [1].
Animal Protocol
Mice: Female C57BL/6 mice aged 6-8 weeks are given an injection of one million secondary Pten+/-Eμ-Myc, Tsc2+/-Eμ-Myc, or Eμ-Myc lymphoma cells into their tail vein. Mice with palpable tumors are given either doxorubicin (once at 10 mg/kg) or 4E1RCat (15 mg/kg daily for 5 d) as treatment. The compounds are injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) at a ratio of 5.2% PEG 400 to 5.2% Tween 80. Doxorubicin is given once on day two of combination studies, during which either rapamycin or 4E1RCat are injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) every day for five days in a row. Every day, workers palpate animals to check for the development of tumors. The amount of time that passes before a tumor recurs is known as tumor-free survival. The log-rank test, which is presented in Kaplan-Meier format, is used to analyze data for statistical significance[1].

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.

  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • 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
