Product Description

Tubacin (known also as tubulin acetylation inducer) is a specific HDAC6 (histone deacetylase 6) inhibitor with potential anticancer activity. In a cell-free assay, it inhibits HDAC6 with an IC50 of 4 nM and shows approximately ~350-fold higher selectivity for HDAC6 than HDAC1.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
HDAC6 ( IC50 = 4 nM ); HDAC3 ( IC50 = 1.27 μM ); HDAC8 ( IC50 = 1.27 μM ); HDAC1 ( IC50 = 1.40 μM ); HDAC5 ( IC50 = 3.35 μM ); HDAC10 ( IC50 = 3.71 μM ); HDAC11 ( IC50 = 3.79 μM ); HDAC9 ( IC50 = 4.31 μM ); HDAC2 ( IC50 = 6.27 μM ); HDAC7 ( IC50 = 9.70 μM ); HDAC4 ( IC50 = 17.30 μM )
ln Vitro

Tubacin causes an increase in α-tubulin acetylation in A549 cells with an EC50 of 2.5 μM without directly stabilizing microtubules. Tubacin suppresses the migration of both HDAC6-overexpressing and wild-type cells by blocking HDAC6-mediated α-tubulin deacetylation.[2] Paclitaxel and tubulin acetylation are enhanced synergistically by tubbacin.[3] Tubacin activates caspases to cause cell apoptosis and dramatically suppresses the growth of both drug-sensitive and drug-resistant MM cells, with an IC50 of 5–20 μM.[4]

ln Vivo
In chick embryos, inhibition of HDAC6 activity by Tubacin reduces the formation of new blood vessels in matrigel/nylon mesh. In angioreactors implanted in mice, Tubacin also impairs the formation of new blood vessels.
Enzyme Assay
The Reaction Biology HDAC Spectrum platform is utilized for the execution of enzyme inhibition experiments. Isolated recombinant human protein was utilized in the HDAC1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 assays; the HDAC3/NcoR2 complex is utilized in the HDAC3 test. Fluorogenic peptide derived from p53 residues 379–382 (RHKKAc) serves as the substrate for HDAC1, 2, 3, 6, 10, and 11 assays; fluorogenic diacyl peptide derived from p53 residues 379–382 (RHKAcKAc) serves as the substrate for HDAC8. For HDAC4, 5, 7, and 9 assays, acetyl-Lys(trifluoroacetyl)-AMC substrate is utilized. After dissolving compounds in DMSO, they are tested in 10-dose IC50 mode using a 3-fold serial dilution protocol that begins at 30 μM. Trichostatin A (TSA), the control compound, is tested in a 10-dose IC50 using a 3-fold serial dilution that begins at 5 μM. Curve-fitting the dose/response slopes yields IC50 values.
Cell Assay
The assay uses tubacin, TBSA, VPA, and TSA as HDAC inhibitors. TE671 and BHK-21 cells are used to test the cytotoxicity of HDACi using the MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. In 96-well plates, 5 × 104 cells are seeded per well, and each HDACi is then added at the indicated concentration. Following a 48-hour treatment period, each well receives 25 μL of MTT solution (5 mg/mL), which is then incubated for three hours at 37 °C with 5% CO2. To dissolve formazan crystals, 100 μL of DMSO is added to each well following three washes with phosphate buffer saline (PBS). The micro-ELISA reader measures OD570−630, and the survival rate is computed to show the inhibitory effects of each HDACi on the viability of BHK-21 and TE671 cells. ((Acontrol − Aexperiment)/Acontrol) × 100% is the survival rate (%). The values of the 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC50) are determined by computer programs.
Animal Protocol
Athymic nude mice implanted with angioreactors
Tubacin is filled in semiclosed angioreactors, and then implanted into the mice.

  • 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
