Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

STX140 is a bis-sulfamate derivative of the endogenous steroid 2-methoxyestradiol, has shown promising anticancer potency both in vitro and in vivo, with excellent bioavailability. STX140 is efficacious in vitro and in vivo in taxane-resistant breast carcinoma cells. STX140 causes apoptosis via the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway and down-regulate survivin and XIAP expression in ovarian and prostate cancer cells.

Product Data
Biological target:
STX140 inhibits steroid sulfatase with IC50 values of 39 and 0.5 nM in placental microsomes and MCF-7 cancer cells, respectively. STX140 also binds to carbonic anhydrase IX and II (Kis = 70 and 270 nM, respectively). It inhibits bovine brain tubulin assembly in a cell-free assay (IC50 = 2.2 µM) and tubule formation in HUVECs when used at concentrations of 50 and 100 nM. STX140 inhibits proliferation of LNCaP, PC3, and MDA-MB-231 cancer cells, as well as wild-type A2780 cancer cells and adriamycin- and cisplatin-resistant A2780 cancer cells (IC50s = 530, 400, 618, 330, 870, and 380 nM, respectively).
In vitro activity:
STX140 may hold potential as a therapeutic agent for melanoma treatment. It inhibited cell proliferation in both naïve and resistant melanoma cells, with less impact on melanocytes. STX140 induced cell cycle arrest, reduced migration and clonogenic potential, and inhibited invasion. Additionally, it triggered senescence features in melanoma cells by upregulating senescence-related genes and proteins. Reference: Int J Mol Sci. 2023 Jul 11;24(14):11314. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37511073/
In vivo activity:
STX140 may offer significant benefits to breast cancer patients. In mouse models, STX140 significantly inhibited tumor growth and metastases, with better outcomes than paclitaxel. STX140 also showed a survival advantage and reduced neurotoxicity compared to paclitaxel. Reference: PLoS One. 2013 Dec 6;8(12):e80305. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24324595/
