Product Description
Verucopeptin is a potent activator of HIF-1 (IC50=0.22 μM) and can reduce the expression of HIF-1 target genes and the expression level of HIF-1α. Verucopeptin strongly inhibits v-ATPase activity by directly regulating the v-ATPase ATP6V1G subunit (but not equal to ATP1V1B2 or ATP6V1D). Verucopeptin displays anti-tumor activity on mitochondria and is widely used in cancer-related research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Vacuolar H+-ATPase (v-ATPase) subunit ATP6V1G [3]. With an IC50 of 388 nM, verucopeptin (0-30 μM; 72 h) had remarkable anticancer efficacy against K562R cells; nevertheless, these cells exhibited resistance to some other chemotherapeutic drugs, including vincristine at 10 μM and paclitaxel. therapeutic qualities [3]. With IC50 values less than 100 nM, verucopeptin (0-1 μM) exhibits wide antiproliferative action against 66% of the 1,094 cancer cell lines examined. Moreover, verucopeptin is categorized into the lower IC50 group, which includes leukemia, lymphoma, and melanoma, and the higher IC50 group, which includes non-small cell lung cancer and other cancer types [3]. Verucopeptin (10 nM; 1 hour) pretreatment prevented VE-P labeling of ATP6V1G1 in competitive binding tests, but not ATP1V1B2 or ATP6V1D. Verucopeptin and Baf A1, albeit to a lesser degree, both significantly reduce lysosomal acidification and v-ATPase activity in vitro [3]. At doses of 10-200 nM, verucopeptin (0-500 nM; 1 hour) strongly suppresses p-S6K and p-4EBP1. Furthermore, at dosages ranging from 50 nM to 500 nM, verucopeptin inhibited the phosphorylation of the majority of examined mTORC1 downstream substrates, including p-4EBP1, pmTORS2448, p-mTORS2481, p-Rictor, p-ULK1, and p-Grb10 [3]. Verucopeptin (0-335 nM; 24 hours) did not affect c-Raf in HT1080 cells, but it did decrease HIF-1 protein levels in a dose-dependent manner. On the other hand, HIF-1 and c-Raf production in cells is inhibited by the well-known hsp90 inhibitor tantespimycin [2].
ln Vivo
Verucopeptin (IV; 1 mg/kg; twice daily; 7 days) effectively reduced tumor growth without significant weight loss or clear evidence of toxicity. HE staining demonstrated that Verucopeptin successfully promoted cell death and abolished mTORC1 signaling through dephosphorylation of S6K and 4EBP1 [3].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: BALB/c nude mice were injected subcutaneously (sc) (sc) with SGC7901/VCR cells [3].
Doses: 1 mg/kg.
Route of Administration: intravenous (iv) (iv)injection; subcutaneous injection of SGC7901/VCR cells. 1 mg/kg; twice (two times) daily; 7 days
Experimental Results: Demonstrated profound in vivo antitumor efficacy against MDR tumors.

Note: Please be aware that the above formulations are for reference only. InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.

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

*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:

  • 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)
