Product Description

EPI-001 (EPI001; EPI 001) is a novel, potent small-molecule antagonist of AR-androgen receptor N-terminal domain (NTD) with potential antineoplastic activity. It inhibits AR-NTD with an IC50 of ∼6 μM and also serves as a selective PPAR-gamma modulator. AR is involved in mediating the actions of male sex steroids and over-expression of AR may lead to hormone-refractory prostate cancer.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In a dose-dependent manner, EPI-001 (5-100 μM; 7 d) suppresses the development of PCa/CRPC cells [2]. In PCa and CRPC cell lines, endogenous AR mRNA and protein expression are inhibited by EPI-001 (50 μM) [2]. AR TAU1 and TAU5 transcriptional activity is inhibited by EPI-001 (50 μM) [2].
ln Vivo
In vivo tumor growth is inhibited by EPI-00 (20 mg/kg; iv every 5 days for 25 days) without causing general toxicity [1]. The androgen axis is blocked by EPI-00 (50 mg/kg; IV), which also prevents androgen-dependent tumor growth [1].
Cell Assay
Cell Proliferation Assay[2]
Cell Types: PCa, CRPC, PC-3, DU 145, and T47D cell lines
Tested Concentrations: 0, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 μM
Incubation Duration: 7 days
Experimental Results: Inhibited growth of LNCaP cells at low concentrations. Inhibited growth of AR-negative PC-3 and DU 145 cell lines as well as the T47D breast carcinoma cell line.

Western Blot Analysis[2]
Cell Types: LNCaP, VCaP LAPC4, C4-2,22Rv1, and CWR -R1 cells
Tested Concentrations: 50 μM
Incubation Duration: 8-16 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: diminished expression of full-length AR protein to varying degrees.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male NOD-SCID (severe combined immunodeficient) mouse (6-8 weeks) bearing LNCaP[1]
Doses: 20 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Iv every 5 days for 25 days
Experimental Results: decreased tumors from 100.3±1.72 mm3 to 73.03±29.6 mm3 within 2 weeks. Did not cause general toxicity indicated by no change in animal behavior or body weight.

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.

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.

*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
