Product Description

UPGL00004 (UPGL-00004) is a newly developed glutaminase C (GAC, kidney glutaminase isoform C) inhibitor that is strong, allosteric, and has anticancer properties. With an IC50 of 29 nM, UPGL00004 exhibits high selectivity for GAC over GLS2. It also inhibits GAC. With low nanomolar potency, UPGL00004 can inhibit both the enzymatic activity of GAC and the proliferation of highly aggressive triple negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. When UPGL00004 and its analogs are contrasted with the top GAC inhibitors, BPTES and CB-839, they exhibit better microsomal stability, ligand efficiency, and fewer rotatable bonds. Heteroatom substituted heterocycloalkanes were used to replace the flexible n-diethylthio or n-butyl moiety found in the leading inhibitors in order to improve their properties. Cancer cells have altered glycolytic flux (the "Warburg effect"), which makes them dependent on increased glutamine metabolism (also known as "glutamine addiction") for growth. Overexpression of glutaminase C (GAC), which catalyzes the initial step in glutamine metabolism and thus represents a potential therapeutic target, satisfies this requirement.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Glutaminase C (IC50 = 29 nM); Glutaminase C (Kd = 27 nM)
ln Vitro
UPGL00004 inhibits TSE, HS578T, and MDA-MB-231 cells with IC50 values of 262 nM, 129 nM, and 70 nM, respectively[1].
ln Vivo
The combination of UPGL00004 (1 mg/kg body weight) and Bevacizumab (2.5 mg/kg body weight) through intraperitoneal injection totally stop any discernible growth in tumor size in a tumor graft model derived from triple-negative breast cancer patients[1].
Cell Assay
Breast cancer cells are kept at 37°C and in an atmosphere with 5% CO2 in complete media (RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% FBS). For assays, a density of 1 × 10⁴ cells per well is applied to the wells of a 12-well plate. After allowing the cells to adhere to the plate for one night, they are treated for six days in full media with the prescribed dosages of each medication or a DMSO control. Every two days, drugs and media are updated. Trypsin is used to extract the cells from the plates on the sixth day, and a hemocytometer is used to manually count the cells.
Animal Protocol
triple-negative breast cancer patient-derived tumor graft (PDX) model (NOD/SCID mice)
1 mg/kg

Note: Please be aware that the above formulations are for reference only. InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

*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
