Product Description
Sparfosic acid is a DNA antimetabolite and a potent inhibitor of aspartate transcarbamoyl transferase. Sparfosic acid has anti-tumor effects. Aspartate carbamyltransferase catalyzes the second step of de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis. Sparfosic acid synergistically enhances the cell toxicity/cytotoxicity of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and interferon-alpha (IFN) against human colon cancer/tumor cell lines.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In drug-resistant Br1 cells, spadrin (N-(phosphonacetyl)-L-aspartic acid, PALA) induces apoptosis [1]. At 300 µM, spafosic acid causes apoptotic pathways to be activated, which results in cell death, and a gradual buildup of S phase cells [1].
ln Vivo
Mice with B16 melanoma given 490 mg/kg of spafosic acid intraperitoneally on days 1, 5, and 9 demonstrated higher lifespans—between 77% and 86% longer than controls. Sparfosic acid sensitivity in Lewis lung carcinoma is high. Half of the mice who received treatment for Lewis lung carcinoma on days 1, 5, and 9 following subcutaneous implantation recovered [4].
Cell Assay
Cell viability assay [1]
Cell Types: Br-1 and L-2 cell lines established by nude mouse transfer injected with the human tumor cell line MDA-MB-435
Tested Concentrations: 300 µM
Incubation Duration: 12, 24 and 48 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Two Cells in the seed cell line are mainly in S phase, but the proportion of S phase cells in L-2 is slightly higher than that in Brl-3prl cells.

Western Blot Analysis[1]
Cell Types: Br-1 and L-2 Cell lines
Tested Concentrations: 300 µM
Incubation Duration: 4, 10 and 24 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: There was a moderate difference in the levels of phosphorylated Rb protein in the two cell types. A significant increase in the amount of cyclin A protein was detected in apoptotic L-2 cells, with the highest levels detected 10 hrs (hours) after drug treatment. In contrast, cyclin A levels were not increased in Brl-3prl cells. Cyclin E protein was increased in L-2 cells and Brl-3prl cells compared with respective controls.

Additional Infomation
Sparfosic acid is a solid. This compound belongs to the n-acyl-alpha amino acids. These are compounds containing an alpha amino acid which bears an acyl group at the terminal nitrogen atom. This substance is known to target aspartate carbamoyltransferase catalytic chain and CAD protein.
Sparfosic Acid is a stable transition state analogue for an aspartate transcarbamylase-catalyzed reaction with antineoplastic activity. Sparfosic acid is a stable transition analogue of the activated complex for the reaction catalyzed by aspartate transcarbamylase, the first step in the pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway. This agent inhibits de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis and increases the extent to which fluorouracil metabolites are incorporated into RNA.

*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.

  • 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)
