Product Description
Alvespimycin (17-DMAG) is a potent Hsp90 inhibitor that binds to Hsp90 with EC50 of 62 ± 29 nM.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
HSP90 (IC50 = 62 nM); GRP94 (IC50 = 65 nM)
ln Vitro
Alvespimycin (17-DMAG) has an EC50 of 62 nM, making it a potent inhibitor of Hsp90. The human cancer cell lines SKBR3 and SKOV3, which overexpress the Hsp90 client protein Her2, are inhibited in their growth by alvespimycin (17-DMAG). This results in the down-regulation of Her2 and the induction of Hsp70, which is consistent with Hsp90 inhibition. In SKBR3 and SKOV3 cells, the EC50 values for Her2 degradation are 8 ± 4 nM and 46 ± 24 nM, respectively, while the EC50 values for Hsp70 induction are 4 ± 2 nM and 14 ± 7 nM, respectively[1]. Alvespimycin (17-DMAG) showed dose-dependent apoptosis (P<0.001 averaged over 24- and 48-hour time points) when compared to the vehicle control at concentrations ranging from 50 nM to 500 nM, which correspond to pharmacologically achievable doses. Alvespimycin (17-DMAG) exhibits time-dependent apoptosis (P <0.001, averaged across all doses) in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells after an extended exposure period of 24 to 48 hours, which is comparable to that of many other agents. Alvespimycin (17-DMAG) also has significantly greater potency than 17-AAG after 24 and 48 hours of treatment[2].
ln Vivo
Tumors are grown for two months prior to the initiation of intraperitoneal injections (i.p.) every four days for a month, using either 0, 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg Alvespimycin (17-DMAG) or 0, 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg Dipalmitoyl-radicicol. The animals receiving HSP90 inhibitor treatment had much smaller tumor volumes than the animals receiving vehicle control treatment, despite sample heterogeneity. In a gastrointestinal cancer animal model, HSP90 inhibitors have been demonstrated to cause liver toxicity. Yet, at 100 mg/kg, dipalmitoyl-radicicol reduces tumor size in a statistically significant way, whereas at 10 or 20 mg/kg, alvespimycin (17-DMAG) also significantly reduces tumor size[3].
Cell Assay
The MTT assay is used to measure cytotoxicity. Alvespimycin, 17-AAG, or a vehicle are incubated for 24 or 48 hours with a total of 1×106 CD19-selected B cells from CLL patients. After adding MTT reagent, the plates are incubated for a further twenty-four hours, following which spectrophotometric measurement is performed. Using propidium iodide (PI) and annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate staining, apoptosis is identified. Cells are exposed to medications, and then they are cleaned in phosphate-buffered saline and stained once in binding buffer. Using flow cytometry, cell death is evaluated. The System II software package is used to analyze data. For every sample, ten thousand cells are counted. Changes in the potential of the mitochondrial membrane are evaluated by staining with the lipophilic cationic dye JC-1 and analyzing the results using flow cytometry[2].
Animal Protocol
Mice: The mice used are CB-17/IcrHsd-Prkdc-SCID young male mice. A collagen solution is mixed with 1×105 BPH1 cells and 2.5×105 CAF per graft to create recombinant xenografts, which are then left to gel, covered with medium, and cultured for an entire night. The tumors are given eight weeks to form before being treated for four weeks with intraperitoneal injections of compounds in sesame oil every four days. The three different doses of dipalmitoyl-radicicol (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg) and Alvespimycin (5, 10 and 20 mg/kg) are administered. The mice are killed after a total of 12 weeks, their kidneys removed, the grafts cut in half, and their photos taken before the tissue is processed for histology. The measurements of the graft are taken, and the volume of the resulting tumor is computed using the formula volume=width × length × depth × π/6. This formula understates the volume of large, invasive tumors when compared to smaller, non-invasive tumors, suggesting a cautious approach to evaluating tumor volumes. Grafts that have been removed are embedded in paraffin, fixed in 10% formalin, and then subjected to immunohistochemistry.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: ~100 mg/mL (~162.1 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.05 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.)

5 mM 0.3243 mL 1.6214 mL 3.2428 mL
10 mM 0.1621 mL 0.8107 mL 1.6214 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
