Product Description

Tipiracil (TPI), one of the main ingredients in TAS-102 (trade name Lonsurf, a mixture of Trifluridine and tipiracil hydrochloride in a 1:0.5 molar ratio), is a potent thymidine phosphorylase (TPase) inhibitor with anticancer activity. TAS-102 has been approved in Japan in 2015.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
thymidine phosphorylase
ln Vitro
Thymidine phosphorylase is inhibited by the drug tipiracil. Tipiracil increases trifluridine exposure by preventing thymidine phosphorylase from metabolizing the drug. A brand-new oral treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer combines trifluridine and piracil[2]. As a thymidine phosphorylase inhibitor, tipiracil has a first-pass effect that prevents FTD from degrading[3].
Cell Assay
HeLa cells are plated in triplicate in 96-well plates at a density of 500 cells/180 μL/well and pre-cultured for 24 hours before receiving 20 μL of each drug solution for 24 or 72 hours. Following the 24 h treatment, cells are washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) before being added to each well with drug-free medium and being incubated for an additional 48 h. A Cell Counting Kit-8 is used to assess the inhibition of cell growth. SAS[3] is used to determine the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) values from the absorbance data.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
H2O: ~1 mg/mL (~4.1 mM)
DMSO: <1 mg/mL
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2 mg/mL (8.24 mM) in PBS (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution; with sonication (<60°C).

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 4.1210 mL 20.6050 mL 41.2099 mL
5 mM 0.8242 mL 4.1210 mL 8.2420 mL
10 mM 0.4121 mL 2.0605 mL 4.1210 mL

*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
g/mol

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
