Product Description
Acivicin HCl (AT-125 HCl) is a naturally occurring compound produced by Streptomyces suis and is a gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) inhibitor. Acivicin HCl crosses the BBB (blood-brain barrier) and has anti-cancer and anti-parasitic properties.
Acivicin hydrochloride (AT-125 hydrochloride; U-42126 hydrochloride) (CAS#: 161922-40-3) is a natural product produced by Streptomyces sviceus. It is a gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) inhibitor. It can cross the blood-brain barrier and exhibits anticancer, antimicrobial, and antiparasitic properties. It is commonly used to investigate glutamine metabolism and enzyme inhibition mechanisms. It has a molecular weight of 215.03.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
γ-glutamyl transpeptidase[1]
gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT). Acivicin inhibits GGT, an enzyme involved in glutathione metabolism and glutamine homeostasis. Inhibition of GGT affects cellular redox balance and glutamine utilization.
ln Vitro
In human HepG2 cells, acivicin hydrochloride (AT-125 hydrochloride; 0.1-50 μM; 5 days) has an IC50 of 0.7 μM [1].
Acivicin hydrochloride exhibits antitumor, antimicrobial, and antiparasitic properties. As a GGT inhibitor, it modulates glutamine metabolism and glutathione levels in cells. Detailed IC₅0 values for GGT inhibition have not been reported in available literature.
ln Vivo
Acivicin hydrochloride (AT-125 hydrochloride; 5 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; twice weekly) decreases γ-GT in the urine by 70–78% [3].
Acivicin hydrochloride (5 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; twice weekly) decreases gamma-GT in the urine by 70-78%. It can cross the blood-brain barrier, suggesting potential for central nervous system applications.
Enzyme Assay
GGT inhibition assays: Acivicin hydrochloride is incubated with purified GGT enzyme and its substrate (e.g., gamma-glutamyl-p-nitroanilide). Enzyme activity is measured by spectrophotometric detection of the released product. IC₅0 values are calculated from dose-response curves.
Cell Assay
Cancer cell lines or other cell types are treated with Acivicin hydrochloride. Cell viability is measured using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. GGT activity is measured in cell lysates or culture supernatants. Glutathione levels are measured using biochemical assays. Glutamine metabolism is assessed by measuring glutamine consumption and glutamate production.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male pigmented Long-Evans rats weighed between 250 g and 300 g exposed to Toluene[3]
Doses: 5 mg/kg
Route of Administration: IP; twice weekly (monday and wednesday)
Experimental Results: diminished urinary γ-GT by 70-78%.
Animal models of cancer or infection could be used to evaluate Acivicin hydrochloride in vivo. The compound can be administered intraperitoneally. Efficacy would be assessed by tumor growth inhibition, survival, or microbial load reduction. Urinary gamma-GT levels can be measured as a pharmacodynamic marker.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Acivicin hydrochloride has a molecular weight of 215.03 and a molecular formula of C₅H₈Cl2N2O3. It is a hydrochloride salt form of acivicin that enhances solubility and stability for in vitro and in vivo applications. It can cross the blood-brain barrier.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No detailed toxicity data has been published for Acivicin hydrochloride in standard toxicology studies. As a research compound, it is not intended for human therapeutic use. Its effects on glutamine metabolism may have implications for normal cell function.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : 100 mg/mL (465.05 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (11.63 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), 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 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.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (11.63 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), 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.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

10 mM 0.4651 mL 2.3253 mL 4.6505 mL

*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.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • 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
