Product Description

Mertansine refers to the thiol-containing maytansinoid, DM1 (N2’-deacetyl-N2’-(3-mercapto-1-oxopropyl)maytansine) attached to a monoclonal antibody through reaction of the thiol group with an SPP (N-succinimidyl 4-(2-pyridyldithio)) linker to create an antibody-drug conjugate or ADC. Experimental ADCs with the SPP-DM1 design include lorvotuzumab mertansine. DM1 can also be linked to an antibody using the SMCC (4-(3-mercapto-2,5-dioxo-1-pyrrolidinylmethyl)-cylohexanecarboxylic acid) linker, in which case the International Nonproprietary Name of the conjugate formed contains the word emtansine. DM1 and its attachment via these linkers result from ImmunoGen Inc research. Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) is an anti-HER2/neu antibody-drug conjugate.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Maytansinoids
ln Vitro
When applied to more than 60 different types of cancer cell lines, mertansine is a potent antiproliferative chemotherapy[3].
Mertansine (0–1 μg/mL) has antitumor activity in malignant B16F10 melanoma cells and, when combined with DTX, inhibits tumor cell growth by blocking mitosis[3].
ln Vivo
The minimal maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of mertansine (DM1) is 1 mg/kg[3].
Cell Assay
Cell Line: Malignant B16F10 melanoma cells[3]
Concentration: 0, 0.01, 0.1, and 1 μg/mL
Incubation Time: 4 h
Result: demonstrated antitumor activity, with an IC50 of 0.092 μg/mL, in malignant B16F10 melanoma cells. To achieve a combinatorial anticancer effect, co-delivering DTX and DM1, which both inhibit tumor cell growth by inhibiting mitosis, is a useful tactic.

*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
