Product Description

Salirasib (known also as S-Farnesylthiosalicylic acid; Farnesyl Thiosalicylic Acid; FTS), a salicylic acid analog, is a potent and competitive prenylated protein methyltransferase (PPMTase) inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity. At 2.6 microM, it suppresses Ras methylation. A third of human cancers, including those of the breast, colon, lung, and pancreas, are thought to be abnormally activated RAS signaling cascades that are linked to cell senescence, differentiation, and proliferation. Salirasib inhibits all Ras isoforms from their membrane-anchoring sites, preventing activation of these cascades.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
RAS; PPMTase (Ki = 2.6 μM)
ln Vitro

Salirasib (12.5-100 μM) has an average IC50 of 58.57±4.59 μM and inhibits ELT3 cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. DN-Rheb manifestly mimics the effects of Salirasib on TSC2-null cells, whereas DN-Ras does not. In TSC2-null cells, salirasib decreases Rheb; however, TSC2 expression protects the cells from salirasib's inhibitory effect. In TSC2-null ELT3 cells, salirasib decreases S6K phosphorylation but not ERK phosphorylation[1]. In HCC cells, salirasib (50, 100, and 150 μM) causes a dose- and time-dependent reduction in cell growth. Salirasib inhibits and modifies cell cycle effectors and inhibitors to decrease cell proliferation. HepG2 and Hep3B cells undergo apoptosis when exposed to salirasib. Salirasib's growth-inhibiting action on HCC cell lines is linked to mTOR inhibition, even in the absence of ERK or Akt activation[2].

ln Vivo
Salirasib (40, 60, or 80 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly and dose-dependently inhibits the growth of tumors in vivo[1]. Salirasib (5 mg/kg, i.p.) causes an increase in Ras expression that is noticeably smaller than the increase seen in the dy2J/dy2J mice, and it also significantly reduces Ras expression in the dy2J/dy2J mice. In the dy2J/dy2J mice, salirasib treatment is linked to a significant inhibition of MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities[2]. In a model of subcutaneous xenograft mice, salirasib (10 mg/kg, i.p.) inhibits tumor growth without causing weight loss[3].
Enzyme Assay
For methyltransferase assays in cell-free systems, total membranes of cultured cell lines (100,000 × g pellet) or synaptosomal membranes of the rat brain cerebellum are utilized. 50 μL of 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 7.4, 100 μg of protein, 25 μM [methyl-3H]AdoMet (300,000 cpm/nmol), and 50 μM AFC (prepared as a stock solution in DMSO) are used in methyltransferase assays. The assays are conducted at 37°C. 8% DMSO is used in all of the assays. As stated in the text, different AFC concentrations are used in a number of experiments. After 10 minutes, the reactions are stopped by adding 500 μL of a 1:1 chloroform:methanol mixture, followed by mixing and phase separation, and 250 μL of H2O. A 200 μl solution of 1 N NaOH and 1% SDS is added to a 125-μL portion of the chloroform phase that has been dried at 40°C. The vapor phase equilibrium method is used to count the methanol that is thus formed. When AFC is added, typical background counts (without AFC) range from 50 to 100 cpm, while typical reactions yield 500 to 6,000 cpm. Three duplicates of each assay are run, and background counts are deducted. Gel electrophoresis and methylation of endogenous substrates are carried out. In intact cells, protein carboxyl methylation is measured with 100 μCi/mL [methyl-3H]methionine. Nearly confluent cultures of the cells are cultivated in 10-cm plates with 5 mL of labeling medium before analysis.
Cell Assay
Cells are harvested using 0.05% Trypsin-EDTA every day for one to seven days in time-dependent response studies. The Trypan blue exclusion method is then used under a microscope to count the cells. Cells are cultured in medium supplemented with salirasib or DMSO for three days in order to conduct dose response studies. As directed by the manufacturer, a colorimetric WST-1 assay is used to assess cell viability. Using GraphPad Prism software, nonlinear regression analysis is used to determine the IC50 value, or the point at which 50% of the cell growth is inhibited when compared to the DMSO control.
Animal Protocol
Female athymic NMRI nu/nu mice, aged six weeks, are kept in cages with filters on top and are given unlimited access to food and drink. Twelve mice receive a subcutaneous injection of 5x106 HepG2 cells suspended in 100 μL PBS to create tumors in their right lower flank. When palpable tumors have developed two weeks after cell inoculation, mice are divided into two groups: one for salirasib treatment (n = 6) and the other for control (n = 4). Two of the animals had to be removed from the study because they do not develop tumors at that point. For 12 days, they are given daily intraperitoneal injections (10 mg/kg salirasib) or an equivalent volume of vehicle solution (PBS with 2.5% v/v ethanol, pH 8.0). A digital calliper is used to record tumor dimensions three times a week beginning on the first day of treatment. To estimate tumor volumes, use the formula V (mm3)=(length×width2)/2. To assess the effectiveness of treatment, tumour weights are noted at the moment of sacrifice.
