Product Description

Evofosfamide (TH-302) is potent and selective that has an IC50 of 19 nM. It exhibits 270-fold increased cytotoxicity under hypoxia compared to their potency under aerobic conditions and is stable to cytochrome P450 metabolism. Under hypoxia, TH-302 is selectively potent and liver microsomes tolerate it well. With a high hypoxic selectivity [Hypoxia cytotoxicity ratio (HCR) = 270], replacing the chlorine with bromine in the phosphorus mustard in 3b results in a 10-fold increase in potency. Under N2, TH-302 exhibits strong cytotoxicity against human lung cancer H460 cells and human colon cancer HT29 cells. With an IC90 of 0.1 μM and 0.2 μM, respectively, TH-302 inhibits HT29 cells and H460 cells.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Hypoxia-activated prodrug
ln Vitro
Evofosfamide (TH-302) induces γH2AX and apoptosis. In both p53-proficient and -deficient cells, evofosfamide exhibits comparable hypoxia-selective, concentration-dependent cytotoxic activity. Evofosfamide (TH-302) therapy alone results in an accumulation of G2/M cells. Chk1 inhibition by PF47736 in cells treated with evofosfamide reduces evofosfamide (TH-302)-mediated G2/M arrest in both normoxia and hypoxia[1].
ln Vivo
Evofosfamide (TH-302) is a prodrug that selectively activates under the hypoxic conditions frequently present in solid tumors. The mean values of normalized Ktrans in mice treated with Evofosfamide (TH-302) in tumors of the Hs766t gene decrease by 69.2%, in tumors of the Mia PaCa-2 gene by 46.1%, and in tumors of the SU.86.86 gene by 4.9%. Comparing the Hs766t and Mia PaCa-2 treatment groups to their own control groups, both changes are statistically significant (P<0.01)[2]. After breathing 95% oxygen, there is a significant decrease in the hypoxic fraction (HF) to 2.1%±4.7% (P 0.001), whereas breathing 7% oxygen causes a significant increase in the HF to 29.5%±14.7% (P=0.029). Increased oxygen exposure renders TH-302 ineffective and shortens the T4×SV in rhabdomyosarcoma-bearing rats from 20.4 to 15.3 days (P=0.007), whereas the T4×SV in control animals is longer. The T4×SV of tumors treated with TH-302 decreases from 30.8±5.9 days (Evofosfamide (TH-302)+radiotherapy) to 25.7±2.9 days (Evofosfamide (TH-302)+radiotherapy+95% O2).[3]
Cell Assay
Evofosfamide (TH-302) and either PF477736 or AZD7762 at a concentration of 0.1 μM are administered to cells for 2 hours in either normoxia (21% O2) or hypoxia (N2). Cells are cultured for an additional 22 hours after being washed in the presence of a Chk1 inhibitor under normoxic conditions. Cell cycle reagent and Guava flow cytometry are used to determine the cell cycle distribution after cells are fixed in 75% ethanol. HT-29 cells are exposed to Evofosfamide (TH-302)e (8 nM, 40 nM, 200 nM, 1 μM, and 5 μM) and 0.1 μM of AZD7762 for 2 h under either normoxia (21% O2) or hypoxia (N2). Following a wash, cells are continuously cultured for an additional 46 hours with 0.1 μM of AZD7762. Caspase activity is measured using a luminescence-based assay[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
