Product Description

Adjudin, formerly known as AF-2364, is a medication that is being researched as a possible non-hormonal male contraceptive. It works by preventing the production of sperm in the testes while having no effect on testosterone production. Further research is being done on this class of drugs as potential contraceptives. It is an analogue of the chemotherapy drug lonidamine, an indazole-carboxylic acid. Adjudin, like its analogue lonidamine, has properties that inhibit cancer growth by targeting mitochondria and obstructing energy metabolism in specific types of tumor cells in mice, according to a 2013 study, suggesting that it has potential as a drug for cancer therapy.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Cl- channel; NF-κB
ln Vitro
Adjudin is a potent blocker of Cl- channels; it decreases the capacity and ability of human sperm to fertilize in vitro[1] by interfering with Cl- ion transport function. Adjudin (ADD) is an inhibitor of the mitochondria[2]. The Sertoli-germ cell interface is where adherens junction disruption is mediated by the molecule adjudin. More than ten different types of cancer cell lines from mice or humans are treated with increasing concentrations of adjudin to examine how it affects cancer cells. The proliferation of the cells is then measured using a modified MTT assay. Human gastric adenocarcinoma cell SGC-7901, human breast adenocarcinoma cell MDA-MB-231, human hepatoma cell Smmc-7721, and human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell MIA Paca-2 exhibit dose-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation. After being administered for 24 hours, Adjudin's IC50 against SGC-7901, MDA-MB-231, Smmc-7721, and MIA Paca-2 cells were found to be 58.0 µM, 13.8 µM, 72.3 µM and 52.7 µM, respectively. Other cancer cell lines from humans and mice have produced results that are comparable. Adjudin's IC50 values in PC3 cells and A549 cells are 63.1 µM and 93.0 µM, respectively. The IC50 of Adjudin for WI-38 and BPH-1 cells can be observed at more than 300 µM and 200 µM, respectively. These values are approximately 5 times and 2 times higher than those for the cancer cell lines A549 and PC3, respectively[3].
ln Vivo
The effectiveness of Adjudin is examined in a subcutaneous lung and prostate cancer model to ascertain whether it can inhibit the growth of lung and prostate cancer in vivo. A549 human lung cancer cells and PC3 prostate cancer cells are subcutaneously injected into athymic nude mice at different sites on the lower back. Then, mice are randomly divided into two treatment groups—adjudin and vehicle (control), which have comparable mean tumor sizes. Adjudin is administered intraperitoneally once every three days in lung carcinoma cells and once every other day in prostate carcinoma cells, beginning about two weeks after tumor inoculation. In rodents, adjuvant therapy is generally well tolerated. Additionally, mice treated with Adjudin exhibit a notable inhibition of tumor growth when compared to the control group(P<0.0001 in the human lung carcinoma cells A549 and P=0.006 in the prostate carcinoma cells PC3)[3].
Cell Assay
In 96-well plates with complete growth medium, 0.5×104 A549 cells, WI-38 cells, BPH-1 cells, PC-12 cells, and other cell lines are seeded. The cells are then incubated for 24 hours. Adjudin is then serially diluted in growth medium (without serum) at concentrations of 300 µM, 100 µM, 30 µM, 10 µM, 3 µM and 0. After another 24 hours of incubation, 10 µl of the Cell Counting Kit-8 solution is added to each well. A microplate reader is used to measure the absorbance at 450 nm following 4 h of incubation at 37 °C in the cell incubator[3].
Animal Protocol
Mice: Equal amounts of A549 cells (0.5×107 cells) and PC3 cells (1×106 cells) are hypodermically implanted into male BALB/C nude mice weighing under ~20g. After two weeks, the mice with palpable tumors are split into two groups (n = 4 per group in each experiment; repeated three times total): one group receives an i.p. injection of Adjudin, which is dissolved in corn oil from a DMSO stock solution and has a final administered quantity of 100 mg/kg (~300 µM used in vitro); the other group receives an injection of the same quantities of corn oil and DMSO as the equivalent vehicle control group. Adjudin or vehicles are given every three days to A549 patients and every other day to PC3 patients for up to two weeks. Calculated and determined tumor volumes.

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)
