ProtocolIn VitroTOFA (5-tetradecyloxy-2-furoic acid) is cytotoxic to lung cancer cells NCI-H460 and colon carcinoma cells HCT-8 and HCT-15, with an IC50 at approximately 5.0, 5.0, and 4.5 μg/mL, respectively. TOFA at 1.0–20.0 μg/mL effectively blocks fatty acid synthesis and induces cell death in a dose-dependent manner.
In VivoTOFA inhibits COC1/DDP cell growth in ovarian tumor mouse xenografts. The tumor growth rate is signifi¬cantly inhibited by TOFA compared with the DMSO treated control mice (1649±356.3 vs. 5128±390.4 mm3. No toxicity is observed in the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney and intestinal tissues. By inhibiting ACC, TOFA may be a promising small molecule agent for ovarian cancer therapy.

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 add µL PEG300, mix and clarify, next add µL Tween 80,mix and clarify, next add µL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
Note:
  • (1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
  • (2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
