Product Description

Homoharringtonine (Omacetaxine mepesuccinate and HHT; trade name Synribo) is a naturally occurring and cytotoxic pharmaceutical substance that is indicated for treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). It acts by inhibiting translation elongation. It is a natural product first discovered in Cephalotaxus harringtonia, now manufactured by hemi-synthesis. It was approved by the US FDA in October 2012 for the treatment of adult patients with CML with resistance and/or intolerance to two or more tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Homoharringtonine exhibits antagonistic effects on both dose and time in inhibiting IL-6-induced STAT3 phosphorylation. Through mechanisms, homoharringtonine (HHT) causes apoptosis while suppressing colony formation, cell proliferation, and survival. Homoharringtonine's cytotoxicity was investigated using gefitinib-controlled human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines, A549 (wild-type EGFR) and NCI-H1975 (type EGFR of H1975, L858R, and T790M). Using an IC50 of 3.7 μM, the MTT experiment revealed that homoharringtonine was mildly hazardous to A549 cells. With an IC50 of 0.7 μM, homoharringtonine more highly sensitively affected H1975 cells. Using the MTT assay, homoharringtonine exhibited dose- and time-dependent inhibition of A549 and H1975 cell growth and proliferation. Homoharringtonine dramatically reduced the clonogenic potential of A549 and H1975 cells at dose and time [1] according to the trypan blue intermittent test.
ln Vivo
Homoharringtonine (10 mg/kg) successfully stopped the growth of tumors as compared to gefitinib or vehicle control (P<0.05). Furthermore, mice treated with homoharringtonine (HHT) did not lose body weight, suggesting that homoharringtonine has no discernible effect. Every mouse was put to sleep, separated, examined, and tumor samples were gathered. Western blot of tumor-expressing cells will be used to ascertain whether homoharringtonine reduces STAT3 phosphorylation. When compared to the vehicle control or gefitinib treatment groups, the homoharringtonine-treated group exhibited a substantial decrease in both STAT3 phosphorylation and MCL1 levels. In parallel, treatment with harringtonine suppressed the phosphorylation amplifiers for ERK1/2 and AKT1/2/3, which is in line with the results above. Tumor tissues were frozen, and sections were diluted at 10 μM for fluorescence histochemistry in order to investigate STAT3 phosphorylation in deeper detail in xenograft tumor samples that were treated differently. therapy with homoharringtonine suppressed STAT3 phosphorylation more than either gefitinib therapy or tumor immune control [1].

Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.58 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 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.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.58 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 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.

  • 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)
