Product Description
EN4 is a covalent ligand for cysteine 171 (C171) of MYC. EN4 is more selective for c-MYC than N-MYC and L-MYC. EN4 inhibits MYC transcriptional activity, downregulates MYC targets, and Has potential anticancer/anti-tumor effects.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
MYC
ln Vitro
En4 inhibits MYC transcriptional activity, downregulates numerous MYC transcriptional targets, directly targets MYC in cells, decreases MYC and MAX thermal stability, and hinders tumorigenesis. Treatment with EN4 significantly reduces the proliferation of 231MFP breast cancer cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Mammary epithelial MCF10A cells that have undergone MYC transformation are less likely to survive when exposed to EN4, but not parental MCF10A cells that are not MYC-dependent. [1]
ln Vivo
In immune-deficient mice, EN4 treatment that is started after the establishment of a 231MFP breast tumor xenograft significantly slows tumor growth in vivo.[1]
Cell Assay
In 6 cm dishes, 231MFP cells are plated, and they are then given DMSO vehicle or EN4 (50 μM) treatment for 24 hours. Scraping is used to collect the cells, and the Qiagen RNeasy mini kit and Qiagen DNase max kit are used to isolate the RNA and remove any DNA contamination. The KAPA mRNA Capture Kit's Oligo dT beads are used to enrich for mRNA.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 83~125 mg/mL (199.3~300.1 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.08 mg/mL (4.99 mM) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 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: 2.08 mg/mL (4.99 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with ultrasonication.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 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.

Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.99 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (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 20.8 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.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 2.4011 mL 12.0054 mL 24.0108 mL
5 mM 0.4802 mL 2.4011 mL 4.8022 mL
10 mM 0.2401 mL 1.2005 mL 2.4011 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
