Product Description

Upamostat (WX-671; Mesupron; WX671) is a novel and potent serine protease inhibitor with anticancer activity. It is an orally bioavailable prodrug of WX-UK1, which is a urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) inhibitor.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets

Serine protease, uPA[1]

ln Vitro
Upamostat is a urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) inhibitor. Upamostat is an oral prodrug for the active metabolite WX-UK1, a novel uPA inhibitor [1]. Upamostat inhibits the urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) system, which is involved in tumor invasion and metastasis. Upamostat is the orally available amidoxime (i.e., hydroxyamidine) prodrug of the pharmacologically active form, WX-UK1[2].
ln Vivo
Rat Upamostat (Mesupron) pharmacokinetics are assessed using the validation method. Five rats get a single intravenous injection of 2 mg/kg of Upamostat, and the mean plasma concentrations of the drug are determined. The material has a terminal half-life of 0.5 hours, a monophasic decay pattern, a 2.0 L/kg volume of distribution, and a clearance of roughly 2.7 L/h/kg[3].
Animal Protocol
Rats[3] Five 9-week old Sprague-Dawley rats are administered a single intravenous injection of 2 mg/kg of Upamostat. Upamostat is dissolved in a mixture of normal saline, dimethylacetamide, polyethylene glycol 400 and DMSO (3:3:3:1). Blood samples (0.15 mL) are taken serially for up to 10 h after drug administration and collected in heparinized centrifuge tubes. After centrifugation at 13,200 rpm for 10 min, the plasma samples are analyzed[3].

Additional Infomation
Upamostat has been used in trials studying the treatment of Pancreatic Cancer.
Upamostat is an orally bioavailable, 3-amidinophenylalanine-derived, second generation serine protease inhibitor prodrug targeting the human urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) system with potential antineoplastic and antimetastatic activities. After oral administration, upamostat is converted to the active N alpha-(2,4,6-triisopropylphenylsulfonyl)-3-amidino-(L)-phenylalanine-4-ethoxycarbonylpiperazide (WX-UK1), which inhibits several serine proteases, particularly uPA; inhibition of uPA may result in the inhibition of tumor growth and metastasis. uPA is a serine protease involved in degradation of the extracellular matrix and tumor cell migration and proliferation.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ≥ 250 mg/mL (~396.95 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (3.30 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 1.5878 mL 7.9389 mL 15.8778 mL
5 mM 0.3176 mL 1.5878 mL 3.1756 mL
10 mM 0.1588 mL 0.7939 mL 1.5878 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
