Product Description
MA242 free base is a specific dual (bifunctional) inhibitor of MDM2 and NFAT1. MA242 free base directly binds MDM2 and NFAT1 with high affinity, induces MDM2 and NFAT1 protein degradation, and inhibits NFAT1-mediated MDM2 transcription. MA242 free base causes apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cell lines.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
MDM2, NFAT1[1]
ln Vitro
Regardless of the cells' p53 status, MA242 (0.05-5 μM; 72 hours) free base substantially suppresses the proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells, with IC50s ranging from 0.1 to 0.4 μM. On the other hand, the proliferation of normal HPDE cells is minimally affected by MA242 free base (IC50=5.81 μM), suggesting that MA242 selectively affects cancer cells[1]. In all three cell lines, MA242 (0.1-0.5 μM; 24 hours) free base dramatically reduces the MDM2 and NFAT1 protein levels at low concentrations[1]. Regardless of the p53 status, MA242 free base reduces cell growth and promotes apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cell lines[1]. Without causing any host toxicity, pancreatic tumor development and metastasis are inhibited by MA242 free base either by itself or in conjunction with gemcitabine[1]. In vitro, the NFAT1-MDM2 pathway is inhibited by the free base MA242, which exhibits cytotoxicity against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells without the need for p53. MA242 exhibited specific cytotoxicity towards HCC cells, as evidenced by its IC50 values, which ranged from 0.1-0.31 μM[2].
ln Vivo
Independent of p53, MA242 (IP; 2.5, 5, 10 mg/kg) free base inhibits the formation of orthotopic pancreatic tumors in vivo[1]. In both scenarios, the average body weights of the mice treated with vehicle and MA242 free base did not differ significantly, and at these efficacious levels, there was no discernible host toxicity[1].
Cell Assay
Cell Viability Assay[1]
Cell Types: The human pancreatic cancer HPAC, Panc-1, AsPC-1, Mia-Paca-2 and BxPC -3 cell lines; The human pancreatic ductal epithelium (HPDE) cell line
Tested Concentrations: 0.05, 0.5, and 5 μM
Incubation Duration: 72 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: The IC50s are 0.14, 0.14, 0.15, 0.25, 0.40, and 5.81 μM for Panc- 1, Mia-Paca-2, AsPC-1, BxPC-3, HPAC, and HPDE cells, respectively.

Western Blot Analysis[1]
Cell Types: The human pancreatic cancer HPAC, Panc-1, and AsPC-1 cell lines
Tested Concentrations: 0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.5 μM
Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: diminished the expression of MDM2 and NFAT1.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Female 4-6weeks old athymic nude mice (nu/nu, 4-6 weeks) bearing AsPC-1-Luc or Panc-1-Luc tumor[1]
Doses: 2.5 or 5 mg/kg for Panc-1 tumor-bearing mice; 10 mg/kg for AsPC-1 tumor-bearing mice
Route of Administration: IP; 2.5 or 5 mg/kg/d, 5 d/wk for five weeks for Panc-1 tumor-bearing mice; IP; 10 mg/kg/d, 5 d/wk for three weeks for AsPC-1 tumor-bearing mice
Experimental Results: Resulted in 56.1% and 82.5% inhibition of tumor growth in nude mice bearing Panc-1 orthotopic tumors, respectively. Dramatically suppressed the growth of AsPC-1 orthotopic tumors by 89.5% (P < 0.01) compared with the tumors in control animals. Led to almost complete tumor regression in MD242-treated mice in both models.

*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.

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)
