Homogeneous suspension
CMC-NA
≥5mg/ml
Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 5 mg of this product to 1 ml of CMC-Na solution, mix evenly to obtain a homogeneous suspension with a final concentration of 5 mg/ml.
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble. * Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations. * Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity
Description
Combretastatin A4 is a microtubule-targeting agent that binds β-tubulin with Kd of 0.4 μM. Phase 3.
Targets
β-tubulin
0.4 μM(Kd)
In vitro
Combretastatin A4 inhibits the growth of MDA-MB-231, A549, Hela, HL-60, SF295, HCT-8, MDA-MB435, PC3M, OVCAR-8, NCI-H358M, and lymphocyte cells with IC50 of 2.8, 3.8, 0.9, 2.1, 6.2, 5.3, 7.9, 4.7, 0.37, 8, and 3.2 nM, respectively. 1 μM of this compound inhibits tubulin polymerization by 35%, and 10 μM nearly completely blocks tubulin polymerization. This chemical demonstrates great relative binding capacity, reaching 78% of colchicine binding.
In Vivo
In NT2 and MDA-MB-231 mammary tumour model, administration of Combretastatin A4 (100 mg/kg, i.p.) induces a significant decrease in lipids R1 and a reduction in tumour pO2 measured by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) oximetry. This compound (100 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly decreases the Ktrans in male NMRI mice.
Colchicine (1.2 μM) is incubated with tubulin (1.3 mg/mL) in the incubation buffer (80 mM PIPES, 2.0 mM MgCl2, 0.5 mM EGTA, pH 6.9) at 37℃ for 1 h. Varying concentrations (0.1 − 125 μM) of this compound are used to compete with colchicine originally bound to tubulin. After incubation, the filtrate is obtained. The ability of the analogue to inhibit the binding of colchicine is expressed as a percentage of control binding in the absence of any competitor.
MDA-MB-231, A549, and HeLa cells are grown in DMEM medium (115 units/mL of penicillin G, 115 μg/mL of streptomycin, and 10% fetal bovine serum). Cells are seeded in 96-well plates (5000 cells/well) containing 50 μL of growth medium for 24 h. After medium removal, 100 μL of fresh medium containing individual analogue compounds at different concentrations is added to each well and incubated at 37 ℃ for 72 h. After 24 h of culture, the cells are supplemented with 50 μL of analogue compounds dissolved in DMSO (less than 0.25% in each preparation). After 72 h of incubation, 20 μL of resazurin is added for 2 h before recording fluorescence at 560 nm (excitation) and 590 nm (emission) using a Victor microtiter plate fluorimeter. The IC50 is defined as the compound concentration required to inhibit cell proliferation by 50% in comparison with cells treated with the maximum amount of DMSO (0.25%) and considered as 100% viability.
