Product Description

AT-101 [(R)-(-)-Gossypol acetic acid, the levorotatory isomer of a natural product Gossypol], is a novel, oral and potent inhibitor of Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and Mcl-1 with Ki of 0.32 μM, 0.48 μM and 0.18 μM in cell-free assays; it shows no inhibition against BIR3 and BID. Gossypol's R-(-) enantiomer, AT-101, has potential antineoplastic activity and is orally bioavailable. R-(-)-gossypol functions as a BH3 mimetic, attaching to the hydrophobic surface binding groove BH3 of the anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL and preventing them from heterodimerizing with pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members like Bad, Bid, and Bim. This may stop tumor cell growth and trigger apoptosis in tumor cells. A polyphenolic substance called racemic gossypol was discovered in cottonseed.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Mcl-1 (Ki=170 nM); Bcl-2 (Ki=260 nM); Bcl-xL (Ki=480 nM); Autophagy
ln Vitro
The (+)-Gossypol and (R)-(-)-Gossypol enantiomers are the two forms of the naturally occurring racemic Gossypol. Gossypol (AT-101) and (+) are in (R)-(-) AT-101 is more effective than (+)-Gossypol in inhibiting cell growth and inducing apoptosis, possibly as a result of the influence of serum in the cell culture experiments. Although both AT-101 and (+)-Gossypol bind to Bcl-2 or Bcl-xL with similar binding affinities. In 6-day MTT assays, Gossypol's racemic form and each of its enantiomers are evaluated against UM-SCC-6 and UM-SCC-14A. The (+)-Gossypol and (R)-(-)-Gossypol enantiomers are the two forms of the naturally occurring racemic Gossypol. Gossypol (AT-101) and (+) are in (R)-(-) AT-101 is more effective than (+)-Gossypol in inhibiting cell growth and inducing apoptosis, possibly as a result of the influence of serum in the cell culture experiments. Although both AT-101 and (+)-Gossypol bind to Bcl-2 or Bcl-xL with similar binding affinities. In 6-day MTT assays, Gossypol's racemic form and each of its enantiomers are evaluated against UM-SCC-6 and UM-SCC-14A. Human fibroblast cell line growth was 50% inhibited by AT-101 doses that were 2- to 10-fold higher than those needed for HNSCC cell line growth. (R)-(-)-Gossypol (AT-101) concentrations are 2- to 3-fold higher than for HNSCC cell lines to inhibit human oral keratinocyte growth by 50%. In ten UM-SCC cell lines in a 6-day MTT assay, (R)-(-)-Gossypol (AT-101) inhibits cell growth in a dose-dependent manner over a range of 0.5 to 10 M. A very sensitive group of cell lines have an IC50 of 2–5 M, while a less sensitive group have IC50 clusters around 10 M[1]. The Bcl-2, Mcl-1, and Bcl-xL proteins bind to (R)-(-)-Gossypol (AT-101) with Ki values of 260–30 nM, 170–10 nM, and 480–40 nM, respectively[2].
Enzyme Assay
For this assay, the 21-residue BH3 peptide QEDIIRNIARHLAQVGDSMDR derived from Bid labeled with 6-carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (FAM-Bid) and recombinant proteins derived from human Bcl-2,Bcl-X L,and Mcl-1 are employed. It is determined that FAM-Bid has a Ki of 11 nM to Bcl-2 protein,25 nM to Bcl-XL protein,and 5.7 nM to Mcl-1 protein. The competitive binding assay for Bcl-XL is same as that for Bcl-2 with the following exceptions: 30 nM Bcl-XL protein and 2.5 nM FAM-Bid peptide in the following assay buffer [50 mM Tris-Bis (pH 7.4) and 0.01% bovine gamma-globulin].
Cell Assay
Two representative UM-SCC cell lines, UM-SCC-6 and UM-SCC-14A, are continuously exposed to 0 (vehicle control), 5 or 10 μM (±)-Gossypol, (R)-(-)-Gossypol or (+)-Gossypol in a 6-day MTT cell survival assay.

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
