Description:

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

HO-3867 is a selective and potent STAT3 inhibitor. HO-3867 selectively inhibited STAT3 phosphorylation, transcription, and DNA binding without affecting the expression of other active STATs. HO-3867 exhibited minimal toxicity toward noncancerous cells and tissues but induced apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells. Pharmacologic analysis revealed greater bioabsorption and bioavailability of the active (cytotoxic) metabolites in cancer cells compared with normal cells. HO-3867 may be useful to treat ovarian cancer and other solid tumors where STAT3 is widely upregulated.

Product Data
Biological target:
HO-3867 is a selective and potent STAT3 inhibitor.
In vitro activity:
After treatment with HO-3867 for 24 h, U2OS, HOS, and MG-63 cells’ viability in concentrations of 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 μM of HO-3867 was significantly unlike that of controls (0 μM) and showed dose-dependently (U2OS: p < 0.001; HOS: p < 0.001; MG-63: p < 0.001). (Figure 1B) After 24 h of HO-3867 (4, 8, and 16 μM) treatment, cytotoxicity in U2OS and HOS cells had dose-dependent increases, and their half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of HO-3867 were 6.91 μM in U2OS cells, 7.60 μM in HOS cells, and 12.24 μM in MG-63 cells. Moreover, cell proliferation was assessed by using the CCK-8 method in U2OS and HOS cells. As shown in Figure 1C,D, treatment of cells with HO-3867 for 24 h significantly decreased the proportion of viable cells in a concentration-dependent manner.

In vivo activity:
This study further observed a significantly increased TUNEL-positive staining in tumor tissues treated with HO-3867, when compared to untreated controls (Fig 6D), suggesting that HO-3867 induced apoptosis in vivo. Quantitation of the TUNEL positive cells showed a fourfold increase after HO-3867 treatment in tumor mice as compared to the untreated control (Fig. 6E). The data supports the conclusion that HO-3867 inhibits endometrial cancer through targeting STAT3 and its targeting proteins of cell-cycle and apoptosis.
