Product Description

Galunisertib (formerly known as LY2157299; LY-2157299) is a selective, ATP-mimetic, and orally bioavailable small molecule inhibitor of the TGFβ receptor I (TβRI) with potential anticancer activity. It inhibits TGFβ with an IC50 of 56 nM in cell-free assays. Galunisertib inhibited HCC cell migration on Laminin-5, Fibronectin, Vitronectin, Fibrinogen and Collagen-I and de novo phosphorylation of pSMAD2. Galunisertib inhibited HCC migration and cell growth independently of the expression levels of TGF-βRII. Galunisertib has antitumor activity in tumor-bearing animal models such as breast, colon, lung cancers,and hepatocellular carcinoma. Galunisertib was evaluated by Lilly Pharmaceuticals in multiple clinical trials either as a single agent or in combination with various agents such as gemcitabine, paclitaxel, sorafenib, or durvalumab. Galunisertib was in a phase II clinical trial for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma but was discontinued in January 2020.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In SK-Sora, HepG2, and Hep3B cell lines, galunisertib (LY2157299) (0.1, 1, 10, and 100 μM) somewhat potentiates Bay 43-9006 in a dose-dependent manner; however, this effect is not observed in JHH6, SK-HEP1, or HuH7 cell lines[2].
ln Vivo
Subcutaneous implants of human xenografts, Calu6 (non-small cell lung cancer) and MX1 (breast cancer), are made in nude mice. Galunisertib (LY2157299) causes a 70% reduction in pSmad for both kinds of cell lines when taken orally at a dose of 75 mg/kg. The recovery of pSmad to 80% of baseline occurred about 6 hours post-administration [3].
Animal Protocol
Dissolved in DMSO and diluted in saline; 75 mg/kg/day; oral gavage
Nude mice implanted subcutaneously with Calu6 or MX1 cells

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.

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
