Product Description

TW-37 (TW37 or TW 37) is a novel and potent small-molecule inhibitor of Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and Mcl-1 with Ki of 0.29 μM, 1.11 μM and 0.26 μM in cell-free assays, respectively. It may have anticancer properties. TW-37 inhibits several BCL-2 family members, including BCL-xL (Ki = 1,110 nmol/L) and MCL-1 (Ki = 260 nmol/L), and attenuates BCL-2 activation. It binds to the BCL-2 homology domain 3 (BH3) groove, which stops proapoptotic proteins (like Bid, Bim, and Bad) from heterodimerizing with BCL-2 and subsequently allows them to trigger apoptosis. TW-37 induces S-phase cell cycle arrest with regulation of several significant cell cycle related genes, including p27, p57, cyclin D1 and cyclin E, according to recent studies, which suggests it can inhibit the growth of a wide variety of cancer cells.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Mcl-1 (Ki=260 nM); Bcl-2 (Ki=290 nM); Bcl-xL (Ki=1110 nM)
ln Vitro
TW-37 (TW37) is a novel nonpeptide small-molecule inhibitor designed using a structure-based design strategy. TW-37 targets the proapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins Bak, Bax, and Bid in the BH3-binding groove of Bcl-2. TW-37 binds to recombinant Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL proteins with Ki values of 290 and 1110 nM, respectively, in fluorescence polarization-based binding assays. TW-37 does not have any cytotoxic effects on fibroblasts at concentrations up to 50 M, but it does have an IC50 of 1.8 M for endothelial cells. Apoptosis, a process mediated by mitochondrial depolarization and activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3, is the mechanism of TW-37-induced endothelial cell death. Coexposure to the growth factor milieu secreted by tumor cells does not counteract the effect of TW-37 on the apoptosis of endothelial cells. At subapoptotic TW-37 concentrations (0.005–0.05 M), the angiogenic chemokines CXCL1 and CXCL8 are expressed and the angiogenic potential of endothelial cells is inhibited (i.e., migration and capillary sprouting assays)[1]. TW-37 is a potent Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 inhibitor. TW-37 binds to recombinant Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, and Mcl-1 proteins with Ki values of 290, 1,110, and 260 nM, respectively, in fluorescence polarization-based binding assays[2].
ln Vivo
We examine the biological impact of TW-37 (TW37) on human microvascular endothelial cells in vivo using a murine model of humanized vasculature. According to this model, both 3 and 30 mg/kg TW-37 are significantly less effective than the vehicle control in terms of the total number of blood vessels (P0.05). Along with a decrease in the overall number of blood vessels, the treated groups are also experiencing an unusually high number of occluded vessels. By counting completely blocked vessels and calculating their percentage of all vessels, the levels of vessel occlusion are evaluated. When compared to control, TW-37 concentration significantly increases the number of occluded vessels[1].
Enzyme Assay
For this assay, the 21-residue BH3 peptide QEDIIRNIARHLAQVGDSMDR derived from Bid labeled with 6-carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (FAM-Bid) and recombinant proteins derived from human Bcl-2,Bcl-X L,and Mcl-1 are employed. It is determined that FAM-Bid has a Ki of 11 nM to Bcl-2 protein,25 nM to Bcl-XL protein,and 5.7 nM to Mcl-1 protein. The competitive binding assay for Bcl-XL is same as that for Bcl-2 with the following exceptions: 30 nM Bcl-XL protein and 2.5 nM FAM-Bid peptide in the following assay buffer [50 mM Tris-Bis (pH 7.4) and 0.01% bovine gamma-globulin].
Cell Assay
The sulforhodamine B (SRB) cytotoxicity assay is used as described. Briefly, optimal cell density for cytotoxicity assay is determined by growth curve analysis. HDMECs are seeded in a 96-well plate and allowed to adhere overnight. Drug or control is diluted in EGM2-MV and layered onto cells, which are allowed to incubate for times as indicated in the figures. Alternatively, HDMECs are coincubated with TW37 and 0 to 100 ng/mL recombinant human VEGF (rhVEGF)165 or 0 to 100 ng/mL recombinant human CXCL8. Cells are fixed on the plates by addition of cold trichloroacetic acid (10% final concentration) and incubation for 1 hour at 4 °C. Cellular protein is stained by addition of 0.4% SRB in 1% acetic acid and incubation at room temperature for 30 minutes. Unbound SRB is removed by washing with 1% acetic acid and the plates are air dried. Bound SRB is resolubilized in 10 mM unbuffered Tris-base and absorbance is determined on a microplate reader at 560 nm. Test results are normalized against initial plating density and drug-free controls. Data are obtained from triplicate wells per condition and are representative of at least three independent experiments
Animal Protocol
