Background

Nifuroxazide is a cell-permeable and orally available nitrofuran-based antidiarrheal agent that effectively suppresses the activation of cellular STAT1/3/5 transcription activity with IC50 of 3 μM against IL-6-induced STAT3 activation in U3A cells

Protocol

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

U266 myeloma cells

Preparation method

The solubility of this compound in DMSO is > 10 mM. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 °C for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below - 20 °C for several months.

Reacting condition

0 ~ 10 μM; 0 ~ 24 hrs

Applications

In U266 myeloma cells, Nifuroxazide significantly inhibited STAT3 tyrosine phosphorylation in a dose-dependent manner, with an IC50 value of 10 μM. The inhibitory effect of Nifuroxazide on STAT3 tyrosine phosphorylation was rapid, occurring as early as 1 hr after treatment and sustained for at least 24 hrs. In addition, Nifuroxazide did not affect STAT3 serine (727) phosphorylation.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

4T1 tumor-bearing mice

Dosage form

10 or 50 mg/kg; i.p.; q.d., for 24 days

Applications

In 4T1 tumor-bearing mice, Nifuroxazide significantly reduced tumor outgrowth and tumor weight, without causing any significant change in body weight. The immunohistochemical staining results of 4T1 tumors collected on day 31 showed that Nifuroxazide substantially reduced Ki-67-positive cells and increased CC-3-positive cells, indicating that Nifuroxazide inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in breast tumor tissues by inhibiting Ki-67 and activating caspase-3.

Other notes

Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal.
