Product Description

Ixabepilone (formerly known as azaepothilone B and BMS-247550; Trade name: Ixempra) is a potent and orally bioavailable microtubule-stabilizing agent for the treatment of cancer. It attaches itself to tubulin and stimulates microtubule stabilization and tubulin polymerization, which stops cells in their G2-M phase of the cell cycle and causes tumor cells to die. The lactam analogue of epothilone B, BMS-247550 (ixabepilone), demonstrated enhanced metabolic stability, strong tubulin polymerization activity, and continued efficacy against lines resistant to paclitaxel. Ixabepilone was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2007 for the treatment of drug-resistant/refractory metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer, based on its demonstrated efficacy in clinical trials.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
microtubule(tubulin stabilising)
ln Vitro
BMS-247550 is an extremely effective cytotoxic agent that can eradicate cancer cells even at low nanomolar concentrations. It also maintains its antineoplastic properties against human cancers that are either paclitaxel-resistant or inherently insensitive[1].
ln Vivo
BMS-247550 demonstrates antitumor activity that is superior to paclitaxel in both paclitaxel-resistant and -sensitive tumors. The results of this study indicate that BMS-247550 is more effective than paclitaxel in all five paclitaxel-resistant tumors evaluated (four in humans and one in a mouse): the clinically derived paclitaxel-resistant Pat-7 ovarian carcinoma, the tubulin-mutated A2780Tax ovarian carcinoma that is resistant to paclitaxel, the HCT116/VM46 MDR colon carcinoma, the clinically derived paclitaxel-resistant Pat-21 breast carcinoma, and the murine fibrosarcoma M5076. A2780 human ovarian carcinoma, HCT116, and LS174T human colon carcinoma are the three paclitaxel-sensitive human tumor xenografts against which BMS-247550 exhibits antitumor activity comparable to paclitaxel[1].
Enzyme Assay
Published techniques are used to assess the potency of BMS-247550 and paclitaxel in polymerizing tubulin isolated from calf brain. In short, tubulin is added to polymerization buffer at 37°C in microcuvette wells of a Beckman apparatus along with varying concentrations of paclitaxel or BMS-247550 [0.1 M mes, 1 mM EGTA, 0.5 mM MgCl2 (pH 6.6)]. UV spectrophotometer, model number DU 7400. The final concentration of microtubule protein is set at 1.0 mg/mL, and compound concentrations are typically used at 2.5, 5.0, and 10 μM. The instrument's software program calculates the initial slopes of absorbance (A280 nM), which are measured every 10 seconds.
Cell Assay
Trypsinization is used to gather HCT116 cells from cultures after they have been exposed to 7.5 nm of BMS-247550 for 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 24 hours. Pelletized cells are fixed at −20°C in 80% ethanol. After being stored at −20°C for the entire night, cells are rehydrated using PBS buffer and then incubated with propidium iodide (5 μg/mL) in 0.1% RNase for 15–30 minutes to stain the DNA. The FACS Calibur device is used for the acquisition of fluorescence-activated cell sorters, and Cellquest and Modfit software are used for the analysis.

*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
