Protocol

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Jurkat cells

Preparation method

The solubility of this compound in DMSO is > 22.6 mg/mL. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 °C for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below - 20 °C for several months.

Reacting condition

0 ~ 200 μM; 24 hrs

Applications

In Jurkat cells, 4EGI-1 (> 50 μM) treatment induced cell death after 24 hrs. In addition, 4EGI-1 significantly increased subG1 DNA content, which was inhibited by cotreatment with the caspase inhibitor zVAD-FMK.

Background

4EGI-1 is an inhibitor of eIF4E/eIF4G interaction, with a Kd of 25 μM against eIF4E binding.

4EGI-1 is an inhibitor of eIF4E/eIF4G interaction, with a Kd of 25 μM against eIF4E binding. 4EGI-1 disrupts the eIF4F complex and inhibits expression of oncogenic proteins in mammalian cells. 4EGI-1 (0-40 μM) also exhibits proapoptotic activity and inhibits the growth of multiple cancer cell lines[1]. 4EGI-1 is cytotoxic to breast cancer cells, such as SKBR-3, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells, with the IC50 of appr 30 μM, and to the non-CSCs (Cancer stem cells), the IC50 is about 22 μM. 4EGI-1 enhances breast CSC differentiation (40 μM), and suppresses breast CSC induced HUVEC tube-like structure formation (8 μM). Moreover, 4EGI-1 selectively inhibits translation that persists in CSC maintenance and dissemination[2]. 4EGI-1 (50 µM) impairs the formation of eIF4F complex in U87 cells. 4EGI-1 (10, 50 and 100 µM) inhibits cell proliferation via inducing apoptosis in U87 cells, and the apoptosis is via Bax activation. 4EGI-1 causes mitochondrial dysfunction, and induces ER stress via GRP-78 activation, in U87 cells[3].

4EGI-1 (75 mg/kg, i.p.) inhibits breast cancer stem cells (CSC) tumor growth and tumorangiogenesis in vivo[2]. 4EGI-1 (75 mg/kg, i.p.) shows inhibitory effect on the tumor volume and weight in mice bearing U87 cells[3].

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
