Product Description

Treosulfan (NSC 39069; Treosulphan) is a novel and potent DNA alkylating agent with activity in ovarian cancer and other solid tumor types. Treosulfan is the byproduct of an immunosuppressive, myeloablative, and antineoplastic bifunctional sulfonate alkylating agent. Treosulfan undergoes a nonenzymatic conversion to L-diepoxybutane via a monoepoxide intermediate in a physiological setting. DNA fragmentation and apoptosis are caused by the production of DNA interstrand crosslinks and alkylation of DNA at guanine residues by the monoepoxide intermediate and L-diepoxybutane. At higher dosages, this substance also exhibits myeloablative and immunosuppressive effects.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
DNA Alkylator
ln Vitro
Treosulfan is an agent that alkylates. Treosulfan exhibits nearly 100% cytotoxicity at 100 μg/mL on a number of cancer cell lines, including Panc-1, Miapaca-2, and Capan-2 cells, with IC50s of 3.6 μg/mL, 1.8 μg/mL, and 2.1 μg/mL, respectively. When combined with LY 188011, treosulfan (0.1-100 μg/mL) shows increased activity against cancer cells. On the other hand, Treosulfan (1, 2.5, and 5 μg/ml) in combination with 5-FU (0.1, 0.25, and 0.5 μg/ml) exhibits antagonistic effects on Miapaca-2 cells at all doses and on Panc-1 cells at intermediate and high concentrations[1]. Treosulfan (800 µg/mL) significantly lowers erythrocyte forward scatter and raises the proportion of ROS, [Ca2+]i, and annexin-V-binding cells. When extracellular Ca2+ is removed, Treosulfan's effect on annexin-V binding is negated[2].
ln Vivo
Treosulfan (1.5 g/kg/day) causes mice to rapidly undergo myeloablation and lose all of their splenic B and T cells. Treosulfan (1.5 g/kg/day) briefly increases the production of olny interleukin-2 in the spleen cells without clearly having a major impact on the synthesis of tumor necrosis factor-α and/or IFN-γ in mice[3].
Cell Assay
In tissue culture plates with 96 wells, the cells are grown in 100 μL volume per well and plated at 1×104 cells/mL for cytotoxicity assays. After allowing the cells to adhere for a full night, they are cultured with varying concentrations of either Treosulfan alone or in conjunction with LY 188011. The drug combination is introduced either sequentially—the second drug is added 12 hours after the first—or simultaneously to the cell cultures. Alamar Blue® solution is added to the wells following a 72-hour incubation period before an additional overnight incubation. Next, absorbance is determined using a spectrophotometer, and drug cytotoxicity and cell proliferation are computed. Additionally, in certain experiments, trypan blue exclusion is used to determine proliferation and cytotoxicity, and an improved Neubauer hemocytometer is used to count cells. Cell viability is evaluated by staining the cells with 7-amino-actinomycin D (final concentration 200 μg/mL) and Annexin-V, followed by flow cytometry analysis using an FACS Scan flow cytometer[1].
Animal Protocol
Mice: At 10 to 12 weeks of age, female BALB/c mice weighed about 20 g. Standard pelleted feed and unlimited water are provided to the animals. They are kept in a climate-controlled room with a 12-hour light/dark cycle. There are four groups that they are split up into: one group gets treated with liposomal NCI C01592 (37 mg/kg/day) for four days straight; another group receives NSC-26271 (0.1 g/kg/day) for two days straight; a control group does not receive any treatment. To sustain the animals' survival in the absence of bone marrow support, sublethal doses of NSC-26271, NCI C01592, and treosulfan are administered. Days 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 following the final treatment dose are dedicated to animal sacrifice, during which the femurs and spleen are extracted. Two control and six treated animals are included at each time point [3].

*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
