Product Description

Obatoclax Mesylate (also known as GX15 070), the mesylate salt of obatoclax, is a potent inhibitor of Bcl-2 (B-cell leukemia protein-2) protein with a Ki of 0.22 μM in a cell-free assay. Obatoclax interacts with BCL-2 and other members of the BCL-2 family that share the BH3-binding site, such as BCL-XL, MCL-1, A1, and BCL-B. Obatoclax mesylate, a pan-BCL-2 inhibitor, exhibits antitumor activity in mouse xenografts of solid tumor and myeloma cell lines and is being studied for the treatment of refractory malignancies. It directly induces apoptosis in cultured acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells as well as primary patient samples. In many cancers, including those of the lymphatic system, breast, lung, prostate, and colon, the Bcl-2 protein family is overexpressed. Obatoclax is a Bcl-2 inhibitor, and as such, it has anticancer properties.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Bcl-2 (Ki=220 nM); Mcl-1 (Ki=1-7 μM); Bcl-xL (Ki=1-7 μM); Bcl-W (Ki=1-7 μM); Bcl-B (Ki=1-7 μM)
ln Vitro
Obatoclax Mesylate (GX15-070 Mesylate) inhibits BCL-2, BCL-XL, MCL-1, BCL-w, A1, and BCL-b with Ki values≈1-7 μM[2]. Obatoclax Mesylate (50-200 nM; 24-72 hours) induces a dose- and time-dependent reduction of cell numbers in all human colorectal cancer cell lines. Particularly, for HCT116, HT-29, and LoVo cells, the IC50 for cell proliferation at 72 h is 25.85, 40.69, and 40.01 nM, respectively[1]. Obatoclax Mesylate (400 nM; for 24 hours) induces autophagy in OSCC cells[3]. Obatoclax Mesylate (50-200 nM; for 24 hours) provokes a dose-dependent increase in the G1-phase cell populations[1]. ?Obatoclax Mesylate (25-200 nM; for 24 hours) indicates a marked drop in cyclin D1 levels as low as 50 nM[1]. Obatoclax Mesylate causes cyclin D1 to degrade in either a T286 phosphorylation-dependent or -independent manner. The steady-state levels of p-Cyclin D (T286) in HCT116 and LoVo cells started to decrease after exposure to obatoclax Mesylate (200 nM; 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 hours). In HT-29 cells, obatoclax mesylate barely affects ERK1/2 activity while inhibiting GSK3 and activating p38MAPK[1]. Obatoclax Mesylate (50-450 nM) potently inhibits the clonogenic potential of oral cancer cells[1].
ln Vivo
Obatoclax Mesylate (GX15-070 Mesylate; 1.15-5 mg/kg; intravenously injected; five consecutive days) In xenograft mouse models, Obatoclax Mesylate demonstrates potent antitumor activity in a dose-dependent manner[4].
Enzyme Assay
A predicted binding affinity for Obatoclax binding to BCL-2 is calculated using the SIE scoring function. [4] As a control in determining the reliability of the calculation, predicted binding affinities Ki) are calculated for a set of 12 small molecules with experimentally measured binding affinities to BCL-2.
Cell Assay
Obatoclax is dissolved in DMSO at a stock concentration of 5 mM. Cell viability is assayed by MTT. Human MM cells (HMCLs), peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs), bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) are seeded in 96-well plates at a density of 2 × 104 per well for HMCLs or 5~10 × 103 for PBLs. Various concentrations of Obatoclax are added to the cells, with or without IGF-1 (50 ng/mL) or IL-6 (10 ng/mL). Cells are incubated for 48-72 hours and cell viability is determined.
Animal Protocol
0.0313, 0.25, 0.5 and 2 mg/kg
Obatoclax (tartrate salt) is formulated in 9.6% PEG300, 0.4% polysorbate 20, and 5% dextrose; while for the 4T1 tumor model, Obatoclax is formulated in 9.48% PEG, 0.38% polysorbate 20.
Female BALB/c or CB17 SCID/SCID mice bearing SW480, C33A, PC3, and 4T1 cells.

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 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
