C188-9 (TTI-101) is a STAT3 inhibitor, with a K_d of 4.7 nM. C188-9 inhibits G-CSF-induced STAT3 activation and STAT3-dependent gene expression. C188-9 induces apoptosis in AML cell lines and primary samples and inhibits colony formation by primary AML blasts^[1][2][3][4].

C188-9 is a Stat3 inhibitor, with a K_d of 4.7 nM^[1]. The IC₅₀s of C188-9 to inhibit Stat3 activation in AML cell lines are in the range of 4-7 μM, and in primary AML samples the IC₅₀s are in the range of 8-18 μM. For apoptosis studies, AML cell lines and primary samples are treated for 24 hours with C188-9, then apoptotic cells are quantified by FACS analysis for annexin V-labeled cells. The EC₅₀s for apoptosis induction are quite variable, ranging from 6 μM to over 50 μM^[2].

Of the approximately 13,528 discernible genes, levels of 37 gene transcripts are altered by C188 (17 down and 20 up-regulated, fdr <0.01, fold change≥1.5), of which 7 are known STAT3 gene targets. In comparison, C188-9 affects a much greater number of genes involved in oncogenesis (384 total, 95 down- and 289 up-regulated), including 76 genes previously reported as regulated by STAT3 (38 down-regulated and 38 up-regulated). Among the 38 genes previously shown to be upregulated by STAT3, 24 (63%) genes are downregulated by C188-9 treatment, as expected. Additionally, 10 more genes downregulated by C188-9 (fdr <0.01, fold change≥1.5) that previously are shown to be upregulated by STAT1. Thus, 40 of 48 (83.3%) genes downregulated by C188-9 previously are shown to be positively regulated by STAT1, including sixteen genes shown to be co-regulated by STAT3 and STAT1. This analysis raises the possibility that the effect of C188-9 on gene transcript levels in HNSCC tumors is mediated by its effects on both STAT3 and STAT1^[3].

Cell lines are plated at 2 to 5×10⁵ cells/mL in growth medium and treated with increasing doses of inhibitor for 24 hours. CD34⁺ AML cells are plated at 1 to 2×10⁵ cells/mL in IMDM with 20% FBS and Pen/Strep, and incubated with C188-9 (0.3 to 100 μM) for 48 hours. Cells are then harvested and labeled. The fraction of spontaneous apoptosis is determined from an untreated sample and then subtracted from the drug-treated samples to yield the percentage of apoptosis attributed to drug treatment^[1].

Mice^[3]
UM-SCC-17B cells (1.5×10⁶) are injected into the tongues of athymic, 8-10 week old, male, nude mice. Once tumors are established, mice (20 total; 10/group) are randomized (average tumor vol ~15-20 mm³) to receive 5 times a week, intraperitoneal injections of either DMSO or C188 (50 mg/kg) or C188-9 (100 mg/kg). Tumor volumes are measured twice weekly. Average tumor volumes 6/πx (long dimension) x (short dimension)²)) are calculated and normalized to the volume at first day of treatment and plotted comparison is done by t test (* p<0.05) ^[3].
