Product Description

MSX-122 is a novel, potent and orally bioavailable inhibitor/partial antagonist of CXCR4 which inhibits CXCR4/CXCL12 actions with an IC50 of 10 nM. It may have antiviral and anticancer properties. By binding to CXCR4, MSX-122 inhibits CXCR4's ability to interact with stromal derived factor-1 (SDF-1), which reduces the migration and proliferation of tumor cells.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
CXCR4/CXCL12 ( IC50 ~10 nM )
ln Vitro
MSX-122, which has an IC50 of approximately 10 nM, is a partial antagonist of CXCR4, blocking CXCR4/CXCL12 actions. When the corresponding ligands, CCR3/CCL5 and CCR5/CCL5, mediate the reduction of cAMP, MSX-122 exhibits no inhibition. Invasion of 78% MDA-MB-231 cells is potently blocked by MSX-122 (100 nM). But in the calcium flux assay, MSX-122 is inert and does not inhibit T-tropic HIV infection[1].
ln Vivo
MSX-122 (10 mg/kg, i.p.) inhibits inflammation induced by carrageenan and lung fibrosis induced by bleomycin in mice. In an animal model of breast cancer metastasis used in experiments, MSX-122 (4 mg/kg, i.p., daily) prevents metastasis. Moreover, the number of hepatic micrometastases is significantly reduced by MSX-122 (10 mg/kg i.p., daily)[1].
Cell Assay
MSX-122 is preincubated at 1, 10, 100, and 1000 nM on MDA-MB-231 cells grown in an 8-well slide chamber for the binding affinity assay. Following an incubation period with 50 nM biotinylated TN14003 and a fixation step using 4% formaldehyde, the cells are then stained with rhodamine.
Animal Protocol
Mice: Female nude mice aged six to eight weeks are injected via the tail vein with 1.5×1066 MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells mixed with the compound (1 µM, less than 5 min preincubation) (10/group). The mice in the treated group are injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with 4 mg/kg MSX-122ms (salt form) every day starting the next day. Thirty-five days after the tumor cell injection, the animals are killed. Complete lung tissues are taken and sectioned for H&E histochemistry and real-time RT-PCR for human CXCR4 in order to assess the metastatic tumor area in five fields per section under a microscope. The results are confirmed by repeating these experiments. For the head and neck cancer animal model, metastatic subclones of 686LN-Ms cells are injected in the same way as MDA-MB-231 cells. [18F]FDG-PET is performed. In the mouse model for uveal melanoma micrometastasis, 1×106 wild-type OMM2.3 cells expressing HGF/TGF-β/CXCR4/MMP2 are injected into the posterior chamber of the right eye of each mouse on day 0. On day three, mice are given 10 mg/kg MSX-122 intraperitoneally (i.p.) in 0.1 mL of 45% CD volume per day, while the control group receives 0.1 mL of 45% CD injections only. Day 7: Tumor-bearing eyes are removed. Histological techniques are used to monitor tumor growth. The number of hepatic micrometastases is counted under a microscope on day 28, after hepatic tissues have been extracted, preserved in 10% formalin, processed, and stained with H&E. The average number of micrometastases per section is calculated by microscopically examining six sections through the liver's center for the presence of micrometastases (<100 µm diameter). For each group, ten mice are used. A table summarizing animal experiments for three metastasis models can be found in the Data S3[1].

*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.

  • 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
