SH-4-54 is a specific STAT3 inhibitor with a KD of 300 nM[1]. It is commonly used in the study of treatments for brain cancers such as glioblastoma[2-3].
SH-4-54 demonstrates potent cytotoxic effects on tumor cells with aberrantly active STAT3, exhibiting an IC50 range of 1.0-2.7μM for glioma U251MG and U87MG cells[3]. SH-4-54 (16μM; 72h) effectively induces apoptosis in temozolomide-resistant glioblastoma multiforme cells by mitoSTAT3 pathway, leading to disrupted oxidative phosphorylation and negative regulation of mitochondrial-encoded genes[4]. In addition, SH-4-54 reduces cell survival and phosphorylated STAT3 levels in various tumors, including bladder cancer and pancreatic cancer[5-6].
SH-4-54 (6 mg/kg; every 2 or 3 days; intravenous administration) effectively blocked the DNA binding activity of STAT3, leading to the inhibition of STAT3-dependent gene transcription in human glioma, breast, and prostate cancer cells, as well as in v-Src-transformed murine fibroblasts. And effectively suppressed tumor growth in mouse xenograft models of glioma and breast cancer [3].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | U251MG; U87MG |
Preparation Method | Cells were cultured in Roswell Park Memorial Institute medium-1640 supplemented with 1% nonessential amino acids and 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum. Cells in 96-well plates were treated with either SH-4-54 or a vehicle control for 72 hours, after which they were subjected to a CyQuant cell proliferation assay. Alternatively, cells were harvested, and viable cells were counted using trypan blue exclusion and phase contrast microscopy. |
Reaction Conditions | 0-10 μM ; 72 hours |
Applications | SH-4-54 exhibits potent cytotoxic effects against malignant cells harboring aberrantly active Stat3. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | NOD-SCID mice (Glioma model) |
Preparation Method | NOD-SCID mice were orthotopically xenografted with 105 BT73 glioma cells. Starting on day 7, the mice received intraperitoneal injections of 10 mg/kg of SH-4-54 or vehicle control on a schedule of 4 days on followed by 3 days off. Animals were sacrificed 2 hours after the last dose, and brain tumors were extracted for immunohistochemical analysis of pSTAT3, Ki67 (proliferation), and TUNEL (apoptosis). |
Dosage form | 10 mg/kg; 4 days on/3 days off; i.p. |
Applications | SH-4-54 reduced pSTAT3 expression in tumor cells and decreased proliferation while increasing apoptosis in treated tumors. |

| General tips | Please select the appropriate solvent to prepare the stock solution according to the
solubility of the product in different solvents; once the solution is prepared, please store it in
separate packages to avoid product failure caused by repeated freezing and thawing.Storage method
and period of the stock solution: When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months; when stored
at -20°C, please use it within 1 month. To increase solubility, heat the tube to 37°C and then oscillate in an ultrasonic bath for some time. |
