Product Description

FTI-2148, a RAS C-terminal mimetic, is a novel, potent and highly selective dual inhibitor of farnesyl transferase (FT-1) and geranylgeranyl transferase-1 (GGT-1) with IC50s of 1.4 nM and 1.7 μM, respectively. It has potential antitumor activity. FTI-2148 suppressed the growth of the human lung adenocarcinoma A-549 cells in nude mice by 33, 67, and 91% in a dose-dependent manner. Combination therapy of FTI-2148 with either cisplatin, gemcitabine, or Taxol resulted in a greater antitumor efficacy than monotherapy.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
FTI-2148 (30 μM) in NIH3T3 cells transformed with all 3 RAS reduces the farnesylation of the single farnesylated protein, HDJ2 [1]. With respect to P. falciparum PFT, mammalian PFT, and mammalian PGGT-I, FTI-2148 has an IC50 value of 15 nM, 0.82 nM, and 1700 nM, respectively. Geranylgeranyl transferase-I is known as PGGT-I and protein farnesyl transferase (PFT)[2].
ln Vivo
In a mouse model of human lung adenocarcinoma A-549 cells grown 91%, FTI-2148 (ip; 25 or 50 mpk/day using minipump; start on day 15, halt on day 45, restart on days 53-83) suppresses tumors. In a human xenograft nude mouse model, FTI-2148 (subcutaneous injection; 25 mpk/day using minipump; 14 days) reduced tumor development by 77% at the conclusion of two weeks of treatment [1]. In a ras transgenic mouse model, FTI-2148 (subcutaneous injection; 100 mg/kg/day; 14 days) promotes breast tumor regression [1]. In mouse mammary tumors cultured in vivo, FTI-2148 (subcutaneous injection; 100 mg/kg/day; 4 days) suppresses 85-88% of FTase activity but not GGTase I enzyme activity [3].

Note: Please be aware that the above formulations are for reference only. InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 2.2096 mL 11.0480 mL 22.0960 mL
5 mM 0.4419 mL 2.2096 mL 4.4192 mL
10 mM 0.2210 mL 1.1048 mL 2.2096 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
