Product Description

CYT997 (also called Lexibulin; CYT-997; CYT 997) is a potent VDA-vascular disrupting agent and also a potent microtubule polymerization/mitotic inhibitor with potential anticancer activity. It inhibits the proliferation of various cancer cells with IC50s of 10-100 nM. It belongs to the so called microtubule-destablizer which inhibits the dynamic instability and polymerization of tubulin.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Using the standard turbidimetric assay for tubulin polymerization, lexibulin (CYT-997) inhibits tubulin polymerization in vitro with an IC50 of approximately 3 μmol/L (compared with the half-maximal inhibitory concentration of 2 μmol/L for colchicine under identical conditions). Moreover, lexibulin can reversibly damage cells' microtubule networks, as demonstrated by fluorescence microscopy. Therefore, applying Lexibulin (1 μM) to A549 cells caused a rapid reorganization of microtubules, including the disintegration of the preexisting microtubule network and the build-up of tubulin in plaques within some cells' cytoplasm. Major changes in cell morphology, such as rounding of the cell and loss of adhesion, are visible after 24 hours. After receiving Lexibulin for an hour, the effects wear off quickly and the cells quickly revert to their original microtubule architecture. When considered collectively, the data suggest that lexibulin is a member of the class of anticancer drugs that damage tubulin-containing structures instead of stabilizing them. At 15 and 24 hours, respectively, cells treated with vehicle showed 15% and 19% of cells in G2-M phase; at the same time points, cells treated with 1 μM Lexibulin had 38% and 43% of cells in G2-M. Additionally, only 66% of all cells are in the G1, S, and G2-M phases 24 hours after Lexibulin treatment, which implies that cells blocked at the G2-M boundary are most likely driven towards apoptosis and cell death rather than exiting back to G1, as would be the case in a normal cell cycle[1]. Lexibulin potently inhibits proliferation, induces cell cycle arrest, and most importantly, causes apoptosis of both primary MM cells and human myeloma cell lines (HMCLs), all of which are consistent with the disruption of cellular tubulin[2].
ln Vivo
Oral administration of Lexibulin (CYT-997) is started 13 days following cell implantation in a xenograft model utilizing the human prostate cancer cell line PC3, at which point palpable tumors were visible. With Lexibulin (CYT-997), there was a dosage-dependent reduction of tumor development that was comparable to parenterally administered paclitaxel at the highest dose. Blood flow in liver metastases was evidently reduced by a single dosage of Lexibulin (CYT-997) (7.5 mg/kg ip), and this reduction persisted for six hours after the dose[1]. Treatment with lexibulin (CYT-997) (15 mg/kg/day) prolongs survival in a mouse model of aggressive systemic myelomatosis significantly[2].
Animal Protocol
Formulated in NMP/PEG300/saline; 30 mg/kg/day; p.o.
Male nude mice inoculated s.c. with PC3 cells, and female BALB/c mice inoculated with 4T1 cells

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 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

 (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.

  • 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
