Product Description

Birabresib (formerly OTX-015; MK-8628) is a potent and orally bioavailable inhibitor of BET bromodomain (BRD2/3/4) with antineoplastic activity. It inhibits BRD2/3/4 with EC50s in the range of 10 to 19 nM in cell-free assays. OTX 015 is the first BRD2/3/4 inhibitor to enter clinical trials (phase 2) for the treatment of cancer, and is currently in clinical trials for treating leukemia and glioblastoma. OTX015 exhibits excellent antiproliferative activity in a large panel of cell lines derived from mature B-cell lymphoid tumors with median IC50 of 240 nmol/L, and high in vivo antitumor efficacy.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Birabresib (OTX-015) (500 nM) exposure generates a substantial decrease of BRD2, BRD4 and c-MYC and rise of HEXIM1 proteins, whereas BRD3 expression is unaltered. c-MYC, BRD2, BRD3, BRD4 and HEXIM1 mRNA levels do correlate however with viability following exposure to Birabresib (OTX-015)[2]. Birabresib (OTX-015) (0.1, 1, 5 μM) administration promotes HIV-1 full-length transcripts and viral outgrowth in resting CD4+ T cells from infected patients receiving suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART), while exerting low toxicity and effects on T cell activation. Birabresib-mediated activation of HIV-1 involves an increase in CDK9 occupancy and RNAP II C-terminal domain (CTD) phosphorylation[3].
ln Vivo
Birabresib (OTX-015) (50 mg/kg) significantly (p?<0.05) reduces tumor burden in MDA-MB-231 murine xenografts when compared to mice given with a vehicle. More effective activity is seen by combining Birabresib (OTX-015) with 2 mg/kg RAD001 than by using Birabresib alone[4].
Animal Protocol
0, 10, 30 or 100 mg/kg qd or 10 mg/kg bid; oral gavage
BLAB/c-nu/nu mice bearing established Ty82 BRD-NUT midline carcinoma xenografts.

*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
