Product Description

Kevetrin hydrochloride (also known as thioureidobutyronitrile; 4-Isothioureidobutyronitrile hydrochloride; thioureidobutyronitrile hydrochloride; thioureido butyronitrile hydrochloride), is a water-soluble, small molecule activator of the tumor suppressor protein p53. Potentially, it has anti-cancer properties. After being injected, thioureidobutyronitrile activates p53, which in turn triggers the expression of p21 and PUMA (p53 up-regulated modulator of apoptosis), inhibiting the growth of cancer cells and causing tumor cell apoptosis. In drug-resistant cancers with mutated p53, thioureidobutyronitrile might be useful. In cancer cells, the p53 tumor suppressor, a transcription factor controlling the expression of numerous stress response genes and mediating various anti-proliferative processes, is frequently mutated. a little chemical that has the potential to be anti-cancer and activates the p53 tumor suppressor protein.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
The proliferation of KASUMI-1 cells was considerably suppressed, dose-wise, by kevetrin hydrochloride (85, 170, 340 μM; 6 h), but not that of MOLM-13 [1]. Kevetrin hydrochloride (340 μM; 6) induces metallothionein (MT) expression in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells and downregulates p53 activity. Kevetrin hydrochloride (340 μM; 24 hours) induces KASUMI-1 cell line cells without causing changes to the cell cycle. Kevetrin hydrochloride is the forkhead box K2 regulator of WNT/β-catenin signaling Regulator-related gene signal transducer and regulatory activator 5A (STAT5A). P53 is increased by kevetrin hydrochloride (100, 200, and 400 μM; 48 h)[1].
ln Vivo
In tumor xenograft models, kevetrin hydrochloride (150–200 mg/kg; i.p.; 20 days) suppresses tumor development and prolongs focus, and it promotes about 40% cell death in OV-90 or OVCAR-3 xenograft tumors.

*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
