Product Description

Oltipraz (RP 35972; NSC 347901), a potential anticancer agent, is a potent Nrf2 activator and an inducer of Phase II detoxification enzymes such as glutathione-S-transferase (GST). Originally used in humans as an anti-schistosomal agent, oltipraz is a synthetic, substituted 1,2-dithiole-3-thione. Since Oltipraz favorably increases Phase II detoxification enzymes while only marginally changing the expression of Phase I "activating" enzymes, it has been categorized as a monofunctional inducer.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Nrf2; HIF-1α (IC50 = 10 μM)
ln Vitro
Oltipraz acts as a chemoprotective agent and, in an Nrf2-dependent manner, stimulates the activity of Phase II detoxification enzymes. [1] Oltipraz inhibits the induction of HIF-1α by insulin, hypoxia, or CoCl2 in human HT29 colon cancer cells by markedly accelerating the protein's breakdown. [2]
ln Vivo
Oltipraz (500 mg/kg, p.o.) has no effect on tumor burden in nrf2-deficient mice but significantly reduces the multiplicity of gastric neoplasia by 55% in wild-type mice. [1] Oltipraz (200 mg/kg, p.o.) inhibits tumor growth and angiogenesis in BALB/c nude mice transplanted with HCT116 cells by blocking HIF-1. [2] Oltipraz slowed the development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis-related fibrosis in rats on a CDAA diet. [3]
Cell Assay
Oltipraz has been classified as a monofunctional inducer since it advantageously elevates Phase II detoxification enzymes, while only slightly altering the expression of the Phase I “activating” enzymes. Oltipraz effectively induced quinone reductase in Hepa 1c1c7 cells defective in the aryl hydrocarbon receptor function required by bifunctional inducers
Animal Protocol

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: ~39 mg/mL (~172.3 mM)
Water: <1 mg/mL
Ethanol: <1 mg/mL
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 1 mg/mL (4.42 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (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 10.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL of Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL of normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 1 mg/mL (4.42 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 10.0 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 4.4181 mL 22.0907 mL 44.1813 mL
5 mM 0.8836 mL 4.4181 mL 8.8363 mL
10 mM 0.4418 mL 2.2091 mL 4.4181 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.
