Product Description

MG-101 (also known as MG101; Calpain Inhibitor I and ALLN) is a novel, cell-permeable and potent inhibitor of cysteine proteases, such as lysosomal cathepsins and calpains, that may have antitumor properties. In tumor cell lines, it triggers apoptosis that is dependent on p53. Calpain I, Calpain II, Cathepsin B, and Cathepsin L are all inhibited by MG-101, with corresponding Ki values of 190 nM, 220 nM, 150 nM, and 500 pM. In DLD1-TRAIL/R cells, MG-101 in conjunction with Ad/gTRAIL significantly increased cell death, whereas calpain by itself had very little effect on cell death. It can mitigate the toxicity caused by atractyloside-induced toxicity, overcome acquired resistance to TRAIL, and lessen the harm that dinitrobenzene sulphonic acid causes to the colon.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Cysteine protease
ln Vitro
MG-101 (ALLN) efficiently inhibits cysteine proteinases, with an ID50 for cathepsins L of 7 nM and B of 13 nM, respectively. When it comes to subtilisin (serine protease) and cathepsin D (aspartic protease), MG-101 (ALLN) exhibits extremely weak inhibitory activities. As a result, MG-101 both changes NIH3T3 cells and causes PC12 pheochromocytoma cells to differentiate.[1] As an inhibitor of Ca(2+)-dependent cysteine proteases, MG-101 prevents HMG-CoA reductase and HMGal from being degraded during the biosynthesis of cholesterol.[2] Through the translocation of Bax from the cytosol to the mitochondria, MG-101 causes an apoptosis response in HCT116 cells by reducing tumor growth and cell viability.
ln Vivo
MG-101 (10 mg/kg i.p.) prevents colon tumor development in mice with HCT116 xenografts.[3]
Enzyme Assay
MG-101 (10 mg/kg i.p.) prevents colon tumor development in mice with HCT116 xenografts.[3] Strongly inhibiting calpain I, calpain II, cathepsin B, and cathepsin L with Kis of 190, 220, 150, and 500 pM, respectively, MG-101 is a cysteine protease inhibitor.
Cell Assay
MG-101 (10 mg/kg i.p.) prevents colon tumor development in mice with HCT116 xenografts.[3] Strongly inhibiting calpain I, calpain II, cathepsin B, and cathepsin L with Kis of 190, 220, 150, and 500 pM, respectively, MG-101 is a cysteine protease inhibitor. Using the Cell Counting Kit-8 and the manufacturer's instructions, the viability of the cells is measured. Each well of a 96-well plate is seeded with one type of HCT116 cell, which is then cultured to 80% density and given varying doses of ALLN for a full day. After that, the medium is changed to 100 μl of fresh McCoy's 5A complete medium containing 10% CCK-8 reagent, and it is incubated for one hour. Using a microplate reader, absorbance is measured at 450 nm. Percentages of deaths are displayed as a result.

*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

Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
