IODVA1 is a small molecule with cellular inhibitory activity against several transformed cell lines including Ras-driven cells, targets Rac activation and signaling instead of Ras; IODVA1 inhibits ST8814 cell proliferation with GI50 of 1 uM, similar results were observed with MCF7, MDA-MB-231, and T47D cells with estimated GI50s <1 uM. IODVA1 significantly decreases number of colonies of the breast cancer cells in soft agar at 1 and 3 uM. IODVA1 probably does not bind Ras and that its mechanism of action is likely Ras-independent, inhibits lamellipodia and circular dorsal ruffle (CDR) formation in MDA-MB-231 cells and decreases Rac activation. IODVA1 inhibits Rac activation and downstream signaling leading to inhibition of lamellipodia and CDR formation; IODVA1 inhibits cell-substratum and cell-cell interactions, does not target kinases, and reduces tumor burden of solid tumors in vivo.

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.
