Product Description

(S)-Thalidomide is the S-enantiomer of thalidomide, which is an immunomodulatory agent and the model drug of the thalidomide class of medications. It is primarily used to treat certain cancers (such as multiple myeloma) and a leprosy complication. The German pharmaceutical company Grunenthal first introduced it as a sedative and immunomodulatory agent in the 1950s. It is also being studied for its potential to treat the symptoms of numerous cancers. Thalidomide is now frequently used as a building block for PROTACs (Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras), which serve as ligands for the E3 ubiquitin ligase cereblon. The PROTAC technology makes use of hetero-bifunctional small molecules, one end of which attracts an E3 ubiquitin ligase and the other of which interacts with the target protein. A CRBN-DDB1-Cul4A complex is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that is inhibited by thalidomide. Thalidomide is an effective costimulator of primary human T cells in vitro. When combined with stimulation through the T cell receptor complex, it promotes the proliferation of T cells through interleukin 2 and the production of interferon gamma.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Apoptosis
ln Vitro
(S)-Thalidomide treatment results in a reduction in cell viability in U266 cells with an IC50 of 362 μM[1].
(S)-Thalidomide treatment increased apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner in U266 cells[1].
Genes involved in apoptosis and angiogenesis have altered expression profiles, but the apoptotic genes have undergone the most significant changes. In particular, there is a two-fold reduction in I-B kinase expression, which is accompanied by a four-fold reduction in NF-B expression. The Bax:Bcl-2 ratio is raised by (S)-thalidomide, which also raises I-kB protein levels and lowers NF-kB activity. When combined with other cytotoxic agents, (S)-Thalidomide dramatically reduces Bcl-2 expression, which raises the possibility of enhancing the cytotoxic effect[1].
ln Vivo
As long as chick embryos are directly exposed to the drug, thalidomide does result in limb reduction defects. The best methods involve implanting Thalidomide-soaked beads into the embryo next to the limb territory or sowing Thalidomide into presumptive chick limb territories before grafting the explants to a host embryo celom. Thalidomide has dose-dependent effects on the chick limb transplanted into the host embryo. The teratogenicity of (S)-thalidomide is also higher than that of (R)-thalidomide[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.

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
