Product Description

Cytosporone B (Dothiorelone G; Csn-B) is a naturally occurring octaketide isolated from an endophytic fungus Cytospora sp, acting as an agonist for the nuclear orphan receptor Nur77 (EC50 = 0.278 nM) with antitumor activity. Nuclear orphan receptor Nur77 has important roles in many biological processes. Csn-B binds specifically to the ligand-binding domain of Nur77 with high affinity (IC50=0.278 nM) and stimulates Nur77-dependent transactivational activity towards target genes including Nr4a1 (Nur77) itself, which contains multiple consensus response elements allowing positive autoregulation in a Csn-B-dependent manner. Csn-B also elevates blood glucose levels in fasting C57 mice, an effect that is accompanied by induction of multiple genes involved in gluconeogenesis.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Cytosporone B specifically enhances Nur77's transactivational activity by targeting the ligand binding region of Nur77. Luciferase activity is induced in cells cotransfected with GAL4-LBD or GAL4-Nur77 by cytosporone B. Cytosporone B's EC50 for Nur77 is 0.278 nM. Cytosporone B exhibits strong pro-apoptotic effects in BGC-823 gastric cancer cells. In 48 hours, cytosporone B treatment causes 63.5% of the cells to undergo apoptosis. Cytosporone B exhibits a targeted action on malignant cells. Cytosporone B has a minor effect on human lung cancer H1299 cells and human hepatoma HepG2 cells, however it reduces the proliferation of human gastric cancer BGC-823 cells and human colon cancer SW620 cells by 470%[1].
ln Vivo
Treatment with cytosporone B increases the transcriptional activity of the reporter five-fold in the hepatocytes of wild-type mice. When cytosporone B is administered to wild-type mice, blood glucose levels rise noticeably from 3.2 to 11.4 mM in the first 30 minutes[1]. After that, blood glucose levels progressively dropped until they returned to the starting point after 300 minutes.
Animal Protocol
The inoculated mice are randomly separated into two groups. One group is given an injection to the abdominal cavity at a dosage of 13 mg/kg of cytosporone B twice a week. The other group is administered with DMSO without cytosporone B. Food consumption and body weight of nude mice are monitored weekly. Four weeks later, the nude mice are killed and the tumors formed are removed, fixed and embedded

Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.75 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 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.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.75 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in 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 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

5 mM 0.6203 mL 3.1017 mL 6.2035 mL
10 mM 0.3102 mL 1.5509 mL 3.1017 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
