Product Description

Monomethyl auristatin F (also known as MMAF) is a highly potent tubulin/antimitotic inhibitor and an antineoplastic agent used as a warhead in ADCs (antibody-drug conjugates) such as vorsetuzumab mafodotin and SGN-CD19A. MMAF plus its attachment structure to the antibody are referred to as mafodotin in the International Nonproprietary Names for MMAF-antibody-conjugates. Since the N-terminal amino group of MMAF only has one methyl substituent rather than two, as it does in auristatin F itself, it is actually desmethyl-auristatin F.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Tubulin
ln Vitro
MMAF prevents the growth of anaplastic large cell lymphoma. In vitro cytotoxicity assays yielded IC50 values of 119, 105, 257, and 200 nM for Karpas 299, breast carcinoma H3396, renal cell carcinoma 786-O, and Caki-1 cells[4].
ln Vivo
Compared to MMAE (1 mg/kg), the mice's maximum tolerated dosage (MTD) for MMAF was significantly larger (>16 mg/kg). The equivalent cAC10-L4-MMAF4 ADC is less hazardous, with associated and related MTDs of >150 mg/kg and 90 mg/kg, respectively, compared to the 50 mg/kg MTD of cAC10-L1-MMAF4 in mice. [4].
Cell Assay
Depending on the cell line, cells are treated with serial dilutions of test molecules and incubated for four to six days. The Alamar Blue dye reduction assay is used to evaluate cellular growth and reduce data in order to produce IC50 values[2].
Animal Protocol
Mice: The size of the subcutaneous Karpas 299 tumor is 300 mm3, and three animals per group are given one intravenous injection of either cAC10-L1-MMAF4 or cBR96-L1-MMAF4 (10 mg antibody component/kg body weight). Immunohistochemistry evaluation is used to stain 5 μm-thin frozen tissue sections after the tumors have been removed and placed in an optimal cutting temperature compound[1].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 100~140 mg/mL (136.6~191.3 mM)
Ethanol: ~100 mg/mL (~136.6 mM)
Water: ~100 mg/mL (~136.6 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 35.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 3.5 mg/mL (4.78 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 35.0 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.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 1.3662 mL 6.8308 mL 13.6616 mL
5 mM 0.2732 mL 1.3662 mL 2.7323 mL
10 mM 0.1366 mL 0.6831 mL 1.3662 mL

*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
g/mol

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
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.
