Product Description

Avagacestat (formerly known as BMS708163) is a potent, selective, orally bioactive γ-secretase inhibitor of Aβ40 and Aβ42 that may have anti-AD (Alzheimer's disease) properties. With IC50 values of 0.3 nM and 0.27 nM, respectively, it suppresses Aβ40 and Aβ42 and exhibits 193-fold selectivity against Notch. Currently under development as a treatment for mild to moderate AD and predementia, avagacestat is intended to selectively inhibit Aβ synthesis. It is possible that Avagacestat will result in fewer toxic adverse events than other less selective compounds because it produced up to 190-fold greater selectivity for Aβ synthesis than Notch processing in preclinical studies.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
γ-secretase (IC50 = 0.27 nM); γ-secretase (IC50 = 0.30 nM); CYP2C19 (IC50 = 20 μM); NICD (IC50 = 0.84 nM)
ln Vitro
Avagacestat (BMS-708163) has a lower potency (IC50=58±23 nM) for inhibiting Notch processing than it does for inhibiting APP cleavage[1]. When combined with gefitinib, avagacestat (BMS-708163) (10µM) significantly inhibits PC9/AB2 cell colony growth, increases the expression of PARP and active caspase 3, and decreases PC9/AB2 cell Ki-67 expression. In PC9/AB2 cells, avagacestat (BMS-708163) increases cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase and causes apoptosis. Treatment with Avagacestat (BMS-708163) efficiently suppresses Notch1, HES1, PI3K, and Akt expression in PC9/AB2 cells[3].
ln Vivo
Avagacestat (BMS-708163) exhibits a significant lowering of Aβ40 for 8 hours following an oral dose of 1 mg/kg, significantly lowers CSF Aβ40 levels in rats when measured 5 hours after single oral doses ranging from 3 to 100 mg/kg, and significantly lowers both plasma and brain Aβ40 levels relative to control at 10 and 100 mg/kg for the entire dosing interval[1]. When compared to gefitinib alone, Avagacestat (BMS-708163) (10 mg/kg) monotherapy has a negligible inhibitory effect on PC9/AB2 tumor growth. In vivo, BMS-708163 monotherapy causes a slight decrease in Ki-67 expression and a slight increase in caspase 3 expression. Avagacestat (BMS-708163) plus gefitinib treatment resulted in a significant decrease in Ki-67 staining and an increase in caspase 3 expression in the xenograft lung cancer samples[3].
Cell Assay
An assay from the Cell Counting Kit 8 (CCK-8) that uses tetrazolium salts (WST-8) as its basis is used to measure the viability of the cells. Initially, the cells are seeded into 96-well plates at a density of 5×103 cells/well and cultured for 24 hours. Following this, the cells are cultured for an additional 48 hours with DMSO, higher concentrations of gefitinib or Avagacestat (BMS-708163), BIBW2992, or the combination of Avagacestat (BMS-708163) and BIBW2992. Once 10 µL of CCK-8 solution has been added and incubated for one hour, the A450 is measured in a microplate reader. The growth percentage is displayed in relation to the untreated control group.
Animal Protocol
Female Balb/c athymic (nu + /nu +) mice aged four to six weeks are put to sleep with ether. Following a week of acclimation, 1.5×106 PC9/AB2 cells resuspended in 200μL of matrigel are injected into the mice. Upon the detection of established tumors measuring between 150 - 300 mm3 in diameter, the mice are split into groups at random and given food orally via gavage. The food options include vehicle (1% methylcellulose and 0.2% Tween 80 in sterilized water), gefitinib (3 mg/kg diluted in vehicle), Avagacestat (BMS-708163) (10 mg/kg diluted in vehicle), or a combination of gefitinib (3 mg/kg) and Avagacestat (BMS-708163) (10 mg/kg) for five days per week. The number of mice in each treatment group is 8. Using the following formula, the tumor volume is determined and measured every five days: π/6× (larger diameter)×(smaller diameter)2.

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
