Product Description

Quarfloxin (Quarfloxacin; CX-3543) is a novel and potent fluoroquinolone analogue with anticancer activity. In order to cause rRNA biogenesis, quarfloxin works by interfering with the nucleolin protein's attachment to a G-quadruplex DNA structure in the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) template. This interaction is overexpressed in cancer cells. When this G-quadruplex DNA:protein interaction in aberrant rRNA biogenesis is disrupted, tumor cell apoptosis and ribosome synthesis may be inhibited.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Abl (IC50 = 0.6 nM); Src (IC50 = 0.8 nM); c-Kit (D816V) (IC50 = 37 nM); c-Kit (wt) (IC50 = 79 nM)
ln Vitro
Quarfloxin (CX-3543) effectively prevents neuroblastoma cell growth in vitro. It is discovered that wt-TP53 and MNA (or high c-Myc) cell lines are more susceptible to Quarfloxin. Quarfloxin causes cell death, cell cycle arrest, DNA damage, and p53 signaling in neuroblastoma cell lines[1].
Quarfloxin is suspended in DMSO to a stock of 10 mM as an in vitro solution[1].

Additional Infomation
Itarnafloxin is a phenoxazine.
Quarfloxin is a fluoroquinolone derivative with antineoplastic activity. Quarfloxin disrupts the interaction between the nucleolin protein and a G-quadruplex DNA structure in the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) template, a critical interaction for rRNA biogenesis that is overexpressed in cancer cells; disruption of this G-quadruplex DNA:protein interaction in aberrant rRNA biogenesis may result in the inhibition of ribosome synthesis and tumor cell apoptosis.
Drug Indication
Investigated for use/treatment in leukemia (lymphoid).

*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.

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
