Product Description

MS-444 (MS444; BE-34776; BE34776) is a novel and potent small-molecule inhibitor of HuR, which is an RNA-binding protein implicated in immune homeostasis and cancers. It also inhibits the activity of purified smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) with an IC50 value of 10 μM. MS-444 treatment of glioblastoma cells resulted in loss of viability and induction of apoptosis, with evidence implicating death receptor 5. BTICs were particularly sensitive to MS-444. At sub-lethal doses, MS-444 attenuated invasion of glioblastoma cells and BTICs in a transwell model.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets

IC50: 10 μM (myosin)[1].

ln Vitro
MS-444 is a little chemical that inhibits the RNA-binding HuR (ELAVL1) protein. HuR overexpressing colorectal cancer (CRC) cells are treated with MS-444 (1-100 μM) for 48 hours, with IC50s for HCT116, HCA-7, RKO, HT-29, and SW480 cells being 10.98±1.76 μM, 12.84±2.10 μM, 5.60±0.90 μM, 14.21±2.11 μM, and 10.98±1.24 μM, respectively. All CRC lines exhibit growth suppression, with IC50 values ranging from 5.60 μM to 14.21 μM. Significant effects are evident at 10 μM MS-444. Non-transformed small intestinal (RIE-1; IC50=40.70±3.53 μM) and colonic (YAMC; IC50=28.16± 3.23 μM)) epithelial cells are used to observe contrasts. Both cell types are skilled in the degradation of 3′UTR AU-rich elements (ARE)-mRNA and exhibit characteristics of typical intestinal epithelial cells. With IC50 values of 40.70 μM and 28.16 μM (P<0.05), both non-transformed cell lines are approximately three to four times less susceptible to MS-444-mediated growth inhibition[2].
ln Vivo
Mice containing HCT116 cell xenografts are given IP injections of MS-444 (25 mg/kg bw) or vehicle every 48 hours in order to examine the impact of the drug on CRC cell proliferation in vivo. The mice maintained their weights and showed no negative effects during the experiment. Tumor size is reduced by around 1.7 times as a result of MS-444's anti-tumor activities. Microvessel density (MVD) in mice treated with MS-444 decreases noticeably by two to three times, suggesting that the compound has anti-angiogenic properties[2].
Cell Assay
Human colorectal cancer cell lines RKO, HCA-7, HCT116, HT-29, SW480 and the non-transformed intestinal epithelial cell lines RIE-1, YAMC are treated with varying concentrations of MS-444 (1-100 μM) for 48 hr. Cell survival is measured by MTT assay after incubation of cells for 48 hr with MS-444. Relative cell survival is calculated as percentage normalized to DMSO vehicle-treated cells and plotted to determine IC50[2].

  • 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)
