Description of Bithionol

IC50: 19 μM – 60 μM for various ovarian cancer cell lines

Bithionol is a potent inhibitor of soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC).

Adenylyl cyclase is an enzyme with critical regulatory roles in cells. All classes of adenylyl cyclases can catalyse the conversion of adenosine triphosphate to 3',5'-cyclic AMP and pyrophosphate.

In vitro: Bithionol could cause dose-dependent cytotoxicity toward all tested ovarian cancer cell lines regardless of their sensitivities to cisplatin. Moreover, such cell death appeared to be via caspases mediated apoptosis. In addition, the mechanism of action appeared to be partially by cell cycle arrest, ROS generation as well as ATX inhibition [1].

In vivo: Oral toxicity of bithionol sulfoxide was assessed in acute toxicity studies in mice and rats. The median lethal dose (LD50) values in mice were > 1000 mg/kg and < 5000 mg/kg after 21 days; the male rat LD50 value was around 5000 mg/kg after 48 h. Moreover, the hepatic toxicity was observed at all tested doses. Increases in serum AST were observed with the high doses, suggesting that mitochondria were affected. In addition, the histological study indicated more intense periportal fatty infiltration with high doses at 5000 and 500 mg/kg [2].

Clinical trial: In a previous study, bithionol was orally given to patients with acute fascioliasis at the daily dose of 25 mg/kg for 10 days. Results showed that all patients were cured. The follow-up period after the first course of treatment was between 16 and 47 months and no major side effects were found [3].

Working concentration: mg/ml;

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 saline, 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.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
