Product Description
CUR5g is a potent inhibitor of autophagy. CUR5g selectively inhibits autophagosome degradation in cancer cells by blocking autophagosome-lysosome fusion. CUR5g prevents the recruitment of STX17 to autophagosomes through a UVRAG-dependent mechanism, resulting in the inability of autophagosomes to fuse with lysosomes. CUR5g can enhance the anti-cancer effect of Cisplatin on A549 cells in vitro and in vivo.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In cancer cells, CUR5g (0–40 μM, 0–24 h) specifically causes autophagosome accumulation [1]. The levels of sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1) and LC3B-II are upregulated by CUR5g (0-40 μM, 0-24 hours) [1]. A549 cell migration and proliferation are inhibited by CUR5g (0–40 μM, 24 h), but neither necrosis nor apoptosis are brought on [1]. CUR5g Cell Autophagy Assay[1] Cell Line: A549 cells Concentration: 0, 1, 5, 10, 20, and 40 μM Incubation Time: 3, 6, 12, and 24 h Outcome: Decreased diffuse cytosolic staining of GFP-LC3B signal to a punctate pattern encircling autophagosomes. Induced widespread cytoplasmic vacuolization.
ln Vivo
In vivo autophagic flux is inhibited by CUR5g (40 mg/kg, tail vein injection, once every two days for 15 days) and cisplatin (HY-17394) (1 mg/kg), which work in concert to combat cancer [1].
Cell Assay
Western Blot Analysis[1]
Cell Types: A549 cells
Tested Concentrations: 0, 1, 5, 10, 20, and 40 μM
Incubation Duration: 0, 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h
Experimental Results: Up-regulated LC3B-II and sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1) levels time- and dose-dependently. This increase was not the result of enhanced transcription, as mRNA expression of SQSTM1 and LC3B were not increased within CUR5g-exposed cells, suggesting that CUR5g might block autophagic flux rather than increase autophagosome formation. Cell Proliferation Assay[1]
Cell Types: A549 cells
Tested Concentrations: 0, 1, 5, 10, 20, and 40 μM
Incubation Duration: 24 h
Experimental Results: demonstrated great toxicity to A549 cells at 20 μM. Slightly diminished A549 cell number at 10 μM, while diminished the number of A549 cells Dramatically at 20 μM. demonstrated no discernable activity in healthy human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) viability at 40 µM.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: BALB/c nude mice (4weeks old, A549 cells were subcutaneously (sc) injected into the right scapula of each nude mouse)[1]
Doses: 40 mg/kg, CUR5g (40 mg/kg) and Cisplatin (1 mg/kg)
Route of Administration: Injected via caudal vein, once every 2 days for up to 15 days
Experimental Results: Retarded the growth of xenografted tumors, whereas the combination treatment with Cisplatin almost completely inhibited tumor growth. Promoted the cisplatin sensitivity of A549 cells by inhibiting autophagic flux.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : 41.67 mg/mL (120.99 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.26 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 +5% Tween-80 + 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.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 2.9035 mL 14.5176 mL 29.0352 mL
5 mM 0.5807 mL 2.9035 mL 5.8070 mL
10 mM 0.2904 mL 1.4518 mL 2.9035 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
