TBB is a cell-permeable and ATP-competitive CK2 inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.15μM for rat liver CK2[1]. TBB also inhibits three other kinases with less potency: CDK2 (IC50=15.6μM), phosphorylase kinase (IC50=8.7μM) and glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) (IC50=11.2μM). All other kinases tested have IC50 values 50-fold greater than that for CK2[2]. TBB is commonly used for studying the role of CK2 in cell signal transduction and gene expression regulation, and can also be applied in the research of related diseases[3-5].
In vitro, after treatment of PC-3 cells with 60μM TBB(24h) followed by a 24h period when cells were cultured without TBB, the viability was considerably lowered, and the time schedule-dependence of the effect was maintained when TBB was administered in combination with Camptothecin (CPT)[6].
In vivo, intraperitoneal injection of TBB (60mg/kg/day for 6 days) reduced retinal neovascularization by approximately 60% in the mouse oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) model, with minimal effects on the main vascular tree but marked suppression or elimination of neovascular tufts[7].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | PC-3 cells |
Preparation Method | PC-3 cells were cultured routinely in RPMI-1640 media, respectively, which were supplemented with 10% FBS, penicillin (100U/ml) and streptomycin (100µg/ ml) at 37˚C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2. Cells were seeded at 5x104cells/well in 24-wells plates and cultured for 72h. TBB (final concentration 60µM), Camptothecin (CPT) (final concentration 5.8nM), 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG; final concentration 0.5mM) or tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) (final concentration 13.3ng/ml) were added to the medium individually or in a combination for 24h. Then the medium with the agent was removed and the cells were cultured for another 24h in normal medium. After that, 500µl of MTT mixture (0.5mg/ml in medium without phenol red) was added to each well and incubated for an additional 1h at 37˚C. The formazan crystals were diluted in 250µl of DMSO. The absorbance was measured at 570nm. |
Reaction Conditions | 60μM; 24h |
Applications | TBB reduced the viability of PC-3 cells either alone or combined with anticancer agents CPT or TRAIL when a proper time schedule of the administration is applied. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | C57BL/6J mice |
Preparation Method | Proliferative retinopathy in neonatal mice was induced in heterozygous C57BL/6J mice. Mice from the retinopathy group were placed in 75% oxygen at postnatal day 7 and maintained in these conditions with their nursing mothers for 5 days. These mice were then returned to normal air and maintained for another 5 days. Nor-moxic control mice were maintained in normal air for the same duration as test mice and under the same conditions of light cycle and temperature. For in vivo administration, the CK2 inhibitors emodin and TBB were dissolved in PBS (pH 7.2) with 20% polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400) and 2% Tween-80. This solvent did not elicit any animal tolerance problems, unlike ethanol or DMSO. Inhibitors were injected intraperitoneally in volumes of 50μL or less per mouse at doses of 15 to 30mg/kg body weight, twice daily from day 11 to day 17. Control mice were injected with PEG-Tween vehicle alone. At the end of the experiment, mice were euthanatized by intraperitoneal injection with tribromoethanol (0.1ml/g body weight).The eyes were enucleated and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde in 0.1M phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) for 18 hours for further analysis. |
Dosage form | 30 to 60mg/kg/day for 6 days; i.p. |
Applications | TBB reduced retinal neovascularization by approximately 60% in the mouse OIR model with minimal effects on the main vascular tree but marked suppression or elimination of neovascular tufts. |
