Primary tumors are dissected at the end of experiment and subjected to immunohistochemistry. Representative images of primary tumor sections stained with anti-PCNA (proliferation), anti-cleaved caspase 3 (apoptosis), and anti-CD31 (angiogenesis).
Cell cycle analysis of HT93A cells by flow cytometry. Cells are treated with 100 nM Nilotinib and 50 ng/mL G-CSF alone or in combination for 48 h before the cell cycle is analyzed. Nilotinib treatment increases the fraction of cells in G0/G1 phase and decreased the S+G2/M-phase fraction.

Description
Nilotinib is an orally available Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor with antineoplastic activity.
IC50 & Target
Bcr-Abl[1]
In Vitro
Nilotinib (AMN107), selective Abl inhibitor, is designed to interact with the ATP-binding site of BCR-ABL with a higher affinity than imatinib while being significantly more potent compared with imatinib (IC50<30 nM), also maintains activity against most of the BCR-ABL point mutants that confer Imatinib resistance[1].
Nilotinib demonstrates significant antitumor efficacy against GIST xenograft lines and imatinib-resistant GIST cell lines which parent cell lines GK1C and GK3C shows imatinib sensitivity with IC50 of 4.59±0.97 μM and 11.15±1.48 μM, respectively, imatinib-resistant cell lines GK1C-IR and GK3C-IR shows Imatinib resistance with IC50 values of 11.74±0.17 μM (P<0.001) and 41.37±1.07 μM (P<0.001), respectively[2].

In Vivo
Nilotinib (oral gavage, 40 mg/kg, daily, 4 weeks) shows equivalent or higher antitumor effects in BALB/cSLc-nu/nu mice with GIST xenograft[2].
Nilotinib has a significant healing effect on the macroscopic and microscopic pathologic scores and ensures considerable mucosal healing in the indomethacin-induced enterocolitis rat model while decreases the PDGFR α and β levels and apoptotic scores in the colon[3].

*Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 2 years; -20°C, 1 year. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 2 years. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 year.
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.
Protocol 1
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% Corn Oil
Solubility: ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (0.94 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μLDMSO stock solution (5.0 mg/mL) to 900 μLCorn oil, and mix evenly.
For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly.
It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time. 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.
Protocol 1
Add each solvent one by one: 50% PEG300 50% Saline
Solubility: 4.17 mg/mL (7.88 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

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.
