Product Description

BTSA1 (BTSA-1) is a novel and potent BAX (BCL2-associated X protein) activator with antitumor activity. By specifically and strongly binding to the N-terminal activation site of BAX and causing conformational changes there, it triggers BAX-mediated apoptosis. While sparing healthy cells, BTSA1-induced BAX activation efficiently promotes apoptosis in leukemia cell lines and patient samples. BAX expression amounts and cytosolic conformation control BTSA1 sensitivity. BTSA1 increased host survival without causing any toxicity while effectively suppressing human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) xenografts. The BCL-2 family protein BAX is a central mediator of apoptosis. By inhibiting BAX and its activators, anti-apoptotic BCL-2 protein overexpression aids in the development of tumors and therapy resistance.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Bax (IC50 = 250 nM); Bax (IC50 = 144 nM)
ln Vitro
BTSA1 has no capacity to directly activate the pro-apoptotic homolog BAK. Recombinant soluble BAX is potently and dose-responsively translocated to the mitochondrial membrane by treatment with BTSA1, which is followed by the induction of BAX oligomerization. Cancer cells are more likely to undergo apoptosis when BAX is activated by BTSA1. With IC50 values ranging between 1 and 4 μM, BTSA1 decreases the viability of all AML cell lines in a dose-dependent manner, with a complete effect occurring within 24 hours of treatment. All five AML cell lines exhibit dose-dependent caspase-3/7 activation[1].
ln Vivo
BTSA1 potently suppresses human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) xenografts and increases host survival without toxicity. The healthy stem cellenriched (LSK) cells, common myeloid progenitors, granulocyte-monocyte progenitors, and megakaryocyte-erythrocyte progenitors are well-tolerated in mice and exhibit no toxic effects. A 10 mg/kg dose of BTSA1 reaches sufficient levels (~15 μM) to cause BAX activation and apoptosis in leukemia cells while also having a significant half-life in mouse plasma (T1/2 = 15 hr) and oral bioavailability (%F = 51). As a result, BTSA1 has excellent pharmacokinetics, is orally bioavailable, significantly inhibits tumor growth in leukemia xenografts by inducing apoptosis, and at therapeutically effective doses exhibits no detectable toxicity in the hematopoietic system or other tissues[1].
Cell Assay
AML cells (seeded at 2 × 104 cells/well) are incubated with serial dilutions of BTSA1 or BTSA2 or vehicle (0.15% DMSO) in no FBS media for 2.5 hours before 10% FBS replacement is added to a final volume of 100 l. At 24 hours, cell viability is assessed.
Animal Protocol
Formulated in 1% DMSO, 30% PEG-400, 65% D5W (5% dextrose in water), 4% Tween-80; 10 mg/kg; P.O. and I.V.
NOD-SCID IL2Rg null (NSG) mice/ICR (CD-1) male mice, 6-8 weeks old

*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)
