Product Description

Dichloroacetate (CPC-211; DCA; X-11S) is a potent and specific inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) with IC50 values of 183 and 80 μM for PDK2 and PDK4 respectively. It has the potential for the treatment of myocardia ischemia. Dichloroacetate has been shown to derepress a mitochondrial potassium-ion channel axis, trigger apoptosis in cancer cells, and inhibit tumor growth. DCA can trigger apoptosis of human lung, breast and brain cancer cells. After DCA treatment, cancer cells shows increased levels of ROS, depolarization of the MMP in vitro and increased apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In mitochondria, sodium dichloroacetate promotes the production of ROS. Sodium dichloroacetate influences cell viability and growth by increasing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that arises from oxidative metabolism promotion. Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases (PDK) inhibition, restored pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activity, and the promotion of oxidative metabolism in conjunction with increased intracellular ROS production—all of which are dependent on the dosage of sodium dichloroacetate—were linked to the effects of sodium dichloroacetate on multiple myeloma cell viability, cell cycle arrest, and apoptotic cell death. In rat VM-M3 glioblastoma cells, the effects of sodium dichloroacetate combined with CI inhibition to promote oxidative stress. Elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cancer cells treated with sodium dichloroacetate are linked to apoptosis induction brought on by elevated cytochrome c expression. T-cell differentiation is dependent on ROS and is induced by sodium dichloroacetate[1].
ln Vivo
When male gonad-intact and castrated rats are treated with sodium dichloroacetate, the levels of NKCC1 RNA expression are markedly reduced; in contrast, no such effect is observed in female gonad-intact and castrated rats treated with sodium dichloroacetate[1]. In Wistar male rats, a single dose of sodium dichloroacetate results in a noticeably greater 24-hour diuresis; this increased diuresis is associated with NKCC2 inhibition. When comparing the kidneys of intact male and female Sprague-Dawley rats, the kidneys of intact female rats have more NKCC2 than the kidneys of intact male rats[1]. When male rats who are naïve are dosed 5, 20, and 100 mg/kg of sodium dichloroacetate orally, their bioavailability is significantly lower than that of rats whose GSTζ is depleted (10%, 13%, 81%, and 31%, 75%, 100%, respectively). Rats depleted of GSTζ exhibit linear kinetics for the liver extraction of sodium dichloroacetate; however, at higher doses, this process decreases with metabolism saturation[1].

Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.25 mg/mL (14.91 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 22.5 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: ≥ 2.25 mg/mL (14.91 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 22.5 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.

*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.

  • 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)
