Cat. No.: HY-124295 Purity: 99.40%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Imofinostat (ABT-301; MPT0E028) is an orally active and selective HDAC inhibitor with IC50s of 53.0 nM, 106.2 nM, 29.5 nM for HDAC1, HDAC2 and HDAC6, respectively. Imofinostat has a weak inhibitory effect on HDAC8 (IC50 of 2.5 ​​μM), but no inhibitory effect on HDAC4 (IC50>10 μM). Imofinostat reduces the viability of B-cell lymphomas by inducing apoptosis and possesses potent direct Akt targeting ability and reduces Akt phosphorylation in B-cell lymphoma. Imofinostat has a broad-spectrum antitumor activity, including colorectal cancer, B-cell lymphoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), and pancreatic cancer, while also showing therapeutic potential in non-tumor diseases like emphysema and pulmonary fibrosis.

In Vitro

Imofinostat (MPT0E028) (0-10 μM; 48 h) significantly inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in HCT116 cells[1].
Imofinostat (0-10 μM; 24 h) inhibits cell growth in a concentration-dependent manner. Imofinostat increases the number of cells in the sub-G1 phase of the cell cycle. Imofinostat induces caspase 3 and PARP activation in a concentrationdependent manner, and this apoptosis[1].
Imofinostat (0.3-100 μM; 24 h) induces significant concentration-dependent growth inhibition in Ramos and BJAB cells. Imofinostat increases the subG1 phase population in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Imofinostat induces caspase-3, -6, -7, -8, -9 activation and PARP cleavage[2].
Imofinostat (0.01-1 μM) pretreated human lung fibroblasts (WI-38) for 30 minutes and then treated with stimulants, which inhibits the expression of CTGF induced by TGF-β, thrombin, and ET-1[5].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
