Product Description
BV6 TFA is an antagonist of cIAP1 and XIAP, members of the inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) family. The IC50 value of BV6 TFA inhibiting the proliferation of HCC193 cells was 7.2 μM in MTS assays. BV6 TFA may be used in research on endometrial cancer and endometriosis.
BV6 TFA (trifluoroacetate salt) is a bivalent Smac mimetic and a potent, specific antagonist of at least three inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (IAPs): cIAP1, cIAP2, and XIAP (X-linked IAP). It is an IAP antagonist that induces apoptosis in cancer cells, particularly in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and other malignancies. BV6 TFA is used in research on endometrial cancer and endometriosis.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
BV6 TFA targets the inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (IAPs), specifically cIAP1, cIAP2, and XIAP. As a Smac mimetic, it binds to these IAPs, antagonizing their anti-apoptotic function. By binding to cIAPs, BV6 induces their ubiquitination and rapid proteasomal degradation, which leads to the deubiquitination of RIPK1 (receptor-interacting protein kinase 1). This enables RIPK1 to form a necrosome complex, promoting apoptosis and necroptosis in response to death signals such as TNF-alpha.
ln Vitro
BV6 TFA (250 nM-30 μM, 24 h) induced apoptosis in HCC193 and H460 lung cancer cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. BV6 TFA also enhanced the sensitivity of HCC193 and H460 cells to radiation [1]. BV6 TFA (1 μM 24 h; 5 μM, 48 h) significantly enhanced the sensitivity of cells to radiation (HCC193: at a concentration of 1 μM BV6, the dose-enhancing ratio DER=1.38; H460: at a concentration of 5 μM BV6, the dose-enhancing ratio DER=1.42) [1].
In vitro, BV6 TFA inhibits the cell viability of HCC193 NSCLC cells with an IC50 of 7.2 uM in MTS assays. It induces apoptosis in both HCC193 and H460 cell lines and significantly enhances the radiosensitivity of these cell lines through activation of cleaved caspase-8 and cleaved caspase-9. In immature dendritic cells, BV6 treatment results in moderate activation of the classical NF-kappaB pathway. BV6 also increases CIK cell-mediated lysis of hematological and solid malignancies. The binding affinity (Kd) is 0.46 nM for cIAP1 and 1.3 nM for XIAP.
ln Vivo
BV6 TFA (10 mg/kg, twice weekly for 4 weeks, intraperitoneal injection) can segment the expression intensity of IAP. BV6 TFA (10 mg/kg, twice weekly for 4 weeks, intraperitoneal injection) can reduce the total number of lesions and the percentage of Ki67 maximal cells compared with the control group.
BV6 TFA can be used in research on endometrial cancer and endometriosis, where IAPs play a role in disease pathogenesis. In vivo, as an IAP antagonist, BV6 would be expected to induce apoptosis in tumor tissues. The compound may be evaluated in xenograft mouse models of NSCLC, endometrial cancer, or other IAP-dependent malignancies. In such studies, BV6 is typically administered intraperitoneally at doses of 10-50 mg/kg. The TFA salt form enhances solubility and stability for in vivo studies.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro IAP binding assay: The binding affinity of BV6 to recombinant human cIAP1 and XIAP is measured by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or a competitive fluorescence polarization (FP) assay. For SPR, cIAP1 or XIAP is immobilized on a sensor chip, and varying concentrations of BV6 TFA (0.01-1000 nM) are injected. The equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) is calculated from the steady-state binding responses. For the FP assay, a fluorescent Smac probe is used, and the IC50 is determined.

Tested Concentrations: 0.25 μM, 0.5 μM, 1 μM, 5 μM
Incubation Duration: 1, 14, 24 hours
Experimental Results: Reduced the expression of cIAP1 within one hour and gradually decreased XIAP with increased incubation time for both cell lines. Reduced the expression of cIAP1 with 0.25μM and gradually decreased XIAP with increasing concentration for both cell lines.
ELISA Assay[1]
Cell Types: HCC193 cells, H460 cells
Tested Concentrations: 1 μM, 5 μM
Incubation Duration: 12 hours
Experimental Results: Induced enhancement of the secretion of TNFα in HCC193 cells. Did not enhance the secretion of TNFα in H460 cells.
In vitro cell viability and apoptosis assay: NSCLC cells (HCC193, H460) are seeded in 96-well plates (5,000-10,000 cells/well) in RPMI-1640 with 10% FBS. BV6 TFA is added at concentrations of 0.1-100 uM for 48-72 hours. Cell viability is measured by MTS or CellTiter-Glo assay. The IC50 (7.2 uM for HCC193) is calculated from dose-response curves. Apoptosis is assessed by Annexin V-FITC/PI flow cytometry and by measuring caspase-3/7 activity. Radiosensitization is assessed by clonogenic survival assays after ionizing radiation (2-10 Gy).
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Female endometriosis mice modeling by Estradiol valerate at the dosage 0.5 µg/mouse/week s.c injected (6 weeks of age, BALB/c).
Doses: 10 mg/kg
Route of Administration: a single i.p. injection,twice weekly for 4 weeks
Experimental Results: Attenuated the intensity of IAPs expression.
In vivo xenograft mouse model for NSCLC: Female BALB/c nude mice (6-8 weeks old) are subcutaneously inoculated with 5×10⁶ HCC193 or H460 cells in 0.1 mL PBS/Matrigel (1:1). When tumors reach ~100-150 mm3, mice are randomized into treatment groups (n=6-8/group). BV6 TFA is formulated in a suitable vehicle (e.g., 10% DMSO + 5% Tween 80 + 85% saline) and administered intraperitoneally at doses of 10-50 mg/kg once daily for 2-3 weeks. Control groups receive vehicle alone. Tumor volume is measured every 2-3 days with calipers. At endpoint, tumors are excised and processed for histology (H&E staining), immunohistochemistry (cleaved caspase-3 for apoptosis), and Western blotting for cIAP1, XIAP, and cleaved PARP.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
No specific PK data for BV6 TFA is available. As a bivalent Smac mimetic (MW of free base: 1205.57 Da), it is not orally bioavailable due to its high molecular weight and hydrophilicity. For in vivo studies, BV6 is typically administered intraperitoneally. The TFA salt form is used to enhance solubility. The half-life in rodents is expected to be short (< 2-4 h) due to rapid clearance. The compound is metabolically stable due to its peptide-like structure but may be subject to proteolysis in vivo. For research use, it is formulated in DMSO/PEG300/Tween 80/saline.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
For BV6 TFA, hazard statements: H315 (Causes skin irritation), H319 (Causes serious eye irritation), H335 (May cause respiratory irritation). Signal word: Warning. Precautionary statements: P261 (Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray), P280 (Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection), P305+P351+P338 (IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes). Storage: lyophilized powder at -20degC, protected from light and moisture. Handle in a fume hood with appropriate PPE. For research use only.
