Product Description

iCRT3 (iCRT-3) is an inhibitor of Wnt and β-catenin-responsive transcription in the Wnt/wingless signaling pathway with anticancer activity. It exhibits IC50 of 8.2 nM in the Wnt responsive STF16-luc reporter assays. iCRT3 can efficiently block Wnt/β-catenin-induced target genes and phenotypes in various mammalian and cancer cell lines. Importantly, these Wnt inhibitors are specifically cytotoxic to human colon tumor biopsy cultures as well as colon cancer cell lines that exhibit deregulated Wnt signaling. iCRT3 binds to β-catenin and interferes with its interaction with TCF. iCRT3 significantly reduces the LPS-induced Wnt/β-catenin activity and also inhibits TNF-α production and IκB degradation in a dose-dependent manner.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
iCRT3 inhibits transcription that is sensitive to both Wnt and β-catenin. Both TOP Flash activity and NTSR1 level are markedly lowered by iCRT3. iCRT3 can significantly counteract the anti-apoptotic effects of neurotensin (NTS) and Wnt3a[1]. Long-term iCRT3-maintained cells exhibit increased expression of classic pluripotency compared to the DMSO control, but concurrently decreased expression of differentiation markers and T-cell factor (TCF) target genes[2]. iCRT3 treatment reduces TNF-α levels by 14.7%, 18.5%, 44.9%, and 61.3% at dosages of 12.5, 25, 50, and 75 μM, respectively. IκB levels rise dose-dependently with iCRT3 therapy in contrast to the vehicle[3].
ln Vivo
Treatment with iCRT3 significantly reduces tumor growth rates. The tumor-suppressive function of iCRT3 is consistently correlated with a decrease in the proliferation marker Ki67 index[1]. Compared to the vehicle group, the IL-6 levels in the 10 mg/kg iCRT3 therapy group are 82.9% lower. In the sham, IL-1β levels are not detectable; however, in septic mice, they reach 371 pg/mL and decrease by 30.2% and 53.2%, respectively, when given 5 and 10 mg/kg iCRT3. The AST levels of these septic mice treated with iCRT3 at doses of 5 and 10 mg/kg are, respectively, 15.4% and 44.2% lower than those of the animals treated with vehicle. In comparison to the vehicle group, lung morphology improves with much less microscopic degradation following therapy with 10 mg/kg iCRT3. When comparing the lung tissues of the iCRT3-treated animals to the vehicle group, there are 92.7% fewer apoptotic cells[3].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO:80 mg/mL
Water:< 1mg/mL
Ethanol:80 mg/mL
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.34 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 (6.34 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 25.0 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.)

*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.

  • 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
