Description:	Chlorotoxin is a 36 amino-acid peptide from the venom of the Israeli scorpion Leiurus quinquestriatus with anticancer activity. Chlorotoxin is a chloride channel blocker.
Target:	Chloride Channel[1]
In Vivo:	Chlorotoxin shows insecticidal activity on insects and other invertebrates. After the administration of I-Chlorotoxin to tumor-bearing mice, the peptides accumulated within the tumor[2].Chlorotoxin selectively accumulates in the brain of tumor-bearing mice with calculated brain: muscle ratios of 36.4% of injected dose/g (ID/g), as compared to 12.4%ID/g in control animals[3].
In Vitro:	Chlorotoxin (Chlorotoxin) preferentially binds to tumor cells and has been harnessed to develop an imaging agent to help visualize tumors during surgical resection. In addition, chlorotoxin has potential as a vehicle to deliver anti-cancer drugs specifically to cancer cells. Chlorotoxin is shown to bind glioma cells, but is unable to bind normal rat astrocytes and Te671, a human rhabdomyosarcoma cell line. Chlorotoxin inhibits the migration of U251MG (glioma) cells, with an IC50 of 600 nM[2]. Chlorotoxin binds to glioma cells is specific and involves high affinity (Kd=4.2 nM) and low affinity (Kd=660 nM) binding sites[3].Small conductance chloride channels are shown to be potently blocked by Chlorotoxin. Chlorotoxin has been used as a general pharmacological tool to investigate the function of chloride channels[4].
Animal Administration:	Mouse: At 24, 48, 72, and 96 h after tumor-bearing and control SCID mice are injected with 125l-labeled Chlorotoxin, they are anesthetized and imaged. Both 125I- and 131l-labeled Chlorotoxin-injected animals and their control counterparts are killed at indicated time points for biodistribution studies[3].

Cat. No.	Product name	Field of application
DC82301	IC-8	IC8 is an ionizable cationic lipid. It has been used in combination with other lipids for the formation of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). Immunization with severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike glycoprotein mRNA in IC8- and manganese-containing LNPs induces IgG responses to SARS-CoV-2 Delta and Omicron variants in mice.1 Administration of mRNA encoding B7-H3 X CD3 bispecific T cell engaging (BiTE) antibodies in IC8-containing LNPs reduces tumor growth in MV4-11 and A375 mouse xenograft models.
DC75721	CL2A-SN38 (Govitecan)	CL2A-SN38 is a SN38 derivative with a peptide-linker which can easily react with antibody to form an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). CL2A-SN-38 is composed of a potent a DNA Topoisomerase I inhibitor SN-38 and a linker CL2A to make antibody drug conjugate (ADC). CL2A-SN-38 provides significant and specific antitumor effects against a range of human solid tumor types. CL2A is a noncleavable complicated PEG8- and triazole-containing PABC-peptide-mc linker. CL2A is cleavable through pH sensitivity, giving rise to bystander effect, and binds the antibody at a cysteine residue via a disulfide bond. .
DC47877	tri-GalNAc-COOH (acetylation)	tri-GalNAc-COOH acetylation is the acetylated and modified form of tri-GalNAc-COOH. tri-GalNAc-COOH acetylation can be used for the synthesis of LYTAC.
DC46965	Tri-GalNAc-COOH	tri-GalNAc-COOH is an asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) ligand that can be used for LYsosome TArgeting Chimera (LYTAC) research.
