ABX-1431

Cell experiment:

Human prostate cancer PC3 cells are grown in F-12K medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum at 37°C with 5% CO2 to 80% confluency in 100 mm dishes. ABX-1431 is added to cells to give final concentration of 0.1-10 µM compound in serum free media. Cells are incubated for 30 min. Cells are washed, harvested, and lysed by probe sonication. Cell lysates (2mg/mL) are treated with JW912 (1µM) and analyzed by SDS-PAGE and in-gel fluorescence scanning[1].

Animal experiment:

Rats[1]ABX-1431 is administered in a volume of 5 mL/kg. Male ICR mice or male Sprague Dawley rats 6 to 12 weeks are administered single oral doses of ABX-1431 (0.5-32 mg/kg for mice and 0.03-10 mg/kg for rats). Four hours after ABX-1431 administration, animals are anesthetized. Following blood collection, animals are killed by decapitation and brains are removed, hemisected and frozen in liquid nitrogen for analysis[1].
