Product Description
Oxyphenisatin acetate is the active precursor molecule of oxyphenisatin, which was often used as a laxative in the past.
Oxyphenisatin Acetate (CAS#: 115-33-3), also known as Acetalax and NSC 59687, is a synthetic organic compound belonging to the diphenolic class. With a molecular formula of C24H19NO5 and a molecular weight of 401.4 g/mol, its IUPAC name is [4-[3-(4-acetyloxyphenyl)-2-oxo-1H-indol-3-yl]phenyl] acetate. Structurally, it is the diacetyl ester prodrug of oxyphenisatin (3,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-indol-2-one). Historically, Oxyphenisatin Acetate was widely used as a stimulant laxative. However, its approval for human use was withdrawn in most countries by the early 1970s due to safety concerns, specifically its association with liver damage and jaundice. More recently, research has focused on its potent antiproliferative activity against triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell lines via TRPM4 ion channel poisoning and induction of a multi-faceted cell starvation response (eIF2α phosphorylation, AMPK activation, mTOR inhibition). The compound has been validated in TNBC PDX models with complete tumor regression at 300 mg/kg i.p.. Oxyphenisatin Acetate is now procured exclusively for in vitro and in vivo research applications.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
TRPM4 ion channel. Oxyphenisatin Acetate is the diacetyl ester prodrug of oxyphenisatin. Upon oral administration, it undergoes gradual decomposition into acetic acid and phenolate when it encounters alkaline intestinal juice, which contributes to its laxative effect. More recently, research has identified its mechanism of action against cancer cells as TRPM4 ion channel poisoning. TRPM4 is a calcium-activated non-selective cation channel that plays a role in cell proliferation and survival. By targeting TRPM4, Oxyphenisatin Acetate induces a multi-faceted cell starvation response characterized by eIF2α phosphorylation, AMPK activation, and mTOR inhibition. This leads to potent antiproliferative activity against triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell lines.
ln Vitro
The proliferation of the breast cancer cell lines MCF7, T47D, HS578T, and MDA-MB-468 is inhibited by oxyphenisatinacetate. In estrogen receptor (ER)-positive MCF7 and T47D cells, obenidine acetate triggered TNFα production and TNFR1 degradation, indicating the presence of autocrine receptor-mediated death in these cell lines. Autophagy and mitochondrial malfunction are the outcomes of 10 micromoles per liter of orbenidine acetate treatment [1].
Oxyphenisatin Acetate demonstrates potent antiproliferative activity in vitro against triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell lines via TRPM4 ion channel poisoning. The compound induces a multi-faceted cell starvation response, including eIF2α phosphorylation, AMPK activation, and mTOR inhibition. It has been validated in TNBC PDX models with complete tumor regression at 300 mg/kg i.p.. As a prodrug, Oxyphenisatin Acetate is converted to the active metabolite oxyphenisatin, which exerts the pharmacological effects. The compound's antiproliferative activity is distinguished from its historical laxative effect via a prodrug-specific PK/PD profile (t1/2 = 5.8 h).
ln Vivo
TNFR1 degradation and eIF2α phosphorylation were observed in conjunction with intraperitoneal administration of oxyphenisatinacetate (300 mg/kg) to suppress tumor growth in the MCF7 xenograft model [1].
Oxyphenisatin Acetate has been validated in vivo in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models, demonstrating complete tumor regression at 300 mg/kg i.p.. Historically, the compound was used as a stimulant laxative. However, its approval for human use was withdrawn in most countries by the early 1970s due to safety concerns, specifically its association with liver damage and jaundice. The compound's prodrug-specific pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profile (t1/2 = 5.8 h) distinguishes its anticancer activity from its historical laxative effect.
Enzyme Assay
TRPM4 ion channel binding and functional assays are used to characterize Oxyphenisatin Acetate's activity. The compound's antiproliferative activity is assessed in TNBC cell lines by measuring cell viability (MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays). The cell starvation response is evaluated by measuring eIF2α phosphorylation, AMPK activation, and mTOR inhibition via Western blotting. In PDX models, tumor regression is monitored by caliper measurements. Physical properties: molecular weight 401.4 g/mol; molecular formula C24H19NO5; appearance: solid powder; solubility: soluble in DMSO; storage: dry, dark, 0-4°C for short term, -20°C for long term.
Cell Assay
Cellular antiproliferative activity of Oxyphenisatin Acetate is evaluated in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell lines. Cells are cultured in appropriate media at 37°C with 5% CO₂ and treated with Oxyphenisatin Acetate at various concentrations for 24-72 hours. Cell viability and proliferation are assessed using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. The cell starvation response is evaluated by measuring eIF2α phosphorylation, AMPK activation, and mTOR inhibition via Western blotting. Cell cycle analysis and apoptosis assays (Annexin V/PI staining, caspase-3/7 activity) are performed to characterize the mechanism of cell death. Each experiment includes vehicle controls and appropriate positive controls to validate the assay systems.
Animal Protocol
In vivo efficacy of Oxyphenisatin Acetate is evaluated in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. Tumor fragments are implanted subcutaneously in immunodeficient mice. When tumors reach a predetermined size, mice are randomized into treatment and control groups. Oxyphenisatin Acetate is administered intraperitoneally at 300 mg/kg. Tumor growth is monitored by caliper measurements. At study endpoint, tumors are harvested for histopathological analysis, immunohistochemistry (Ki67 for proliferation, cleaved caspase-3 for apoptosis), and biochemical assays (eIF2α phosphorylation, AMPK activation, mTOR inhibition). Body weight and clinical signs are monitored throughout the study to assess tolerability. Sample sizes typically range from 6-10 animals per group.

Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Oxyphenisatin Acetate has significant toxicity concerns. Historically, its approval for human use as a laxative was withdrawn in most countries by the early 1970s due to its association with liver damage and jaundice. The FDA withdrew its approval for the use of oxyphenisatin acetate due to safety reasons. It is a small molecule drug with a maximum clinical trial phase of IV and was withdrawn in at least one region. The compound is now procured exclusively for research applications and is not for human or veterinary therapeutic use. Standard safety precautions for handling potentially hepatotoxic compounds should be followed.
