Venetoclax (ABT-199; GDC-0199) is a highly selective, orally bioavailable small-molecule inhibitor of Bcl-2, exhibiting sub-nanomolar binding affinity with a Ki of less than 0.01 nM. This compound has been demonstrated to induce autophagy, highlighting its role in modulating programmed cell death pathways. In vitro studies reveal that Venetoclax exhibits potent cytotoxic activity against FL5.12-BCL-2 cells, with an EC50 of 4 nM, while showing markedly reduced efficacy against FL5.12-BCL-XL cells (EC50 = 261 nM), underscoring its selectivity for Bcl-2 over Bcl-XL. The selectivity of Venetoclax is further corroborated in cellular mammalian two-hybrid assays, where it effectively disrupts BCL-2-BIM protein-protein interactions with an EC50 of 3 nM. In contrast, it demonstrates significantly weaker activity against BCL-XL-BCL-XS and MCL-1-NOXA complexes, with EC50 values of 2.2 μM, reinforcing its specificity for Bcl-2-dependent apoptotic regulation. In vivo efficacy studies utilizing xenograft models derived from RS4;11 cells, a representative model of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), demonstrate that a single oral dose of Venetoclax (12.5 mg/kg) achieves a maximal tumor growth inhibition (TGImax) of 47% (P < 0.001) and a tumor growth delay (TGD) of 26% (P < 0.05). These results indicate robust anti-tumor activity in a Bcl-2-dependent malignancy.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
