Information
ICG-001 ICG-001 antagonizes Wnt/β-catenin /TCF-mediated transcription and specifically binds to CREB-binding protein (CBP) with IC50 of 3 μM, but is not the related transcriptional coactivator p300. ICG-001 induces apoptosis . In vitro
ICG-001 has no effect on the related reporter construct, FOPFLASH, which contains mutated TCF sites. After treatment with 25μM of ICG-001 for 8 hours, SW480 cell reduces the steady-state levels of Survivin and Cyclin D1 RNA and protein, both of which can be up-regulated by β-catenin. ICG-001 selectively induces apoptosis in transformed cells but not in normal colon cells, reduces in vitro growth of colon carcinoma cells. ICG-001, can phenotypically rescue normal nerve growth factor (NGF) -induced neuronal differentiation and neurite outgrowth in the presenilin-1 mutant cells, emphasizing the importance of the TCF/β-catenin signaling pathway on neurite outgrowth and neuronal differentiation. A recent study demonstrates that 5μM ICG-001 inhibits leptin-induced EMT, invasion and tumorsphere formation in MCF7 cells.
In vivo
Administration of a water-soluble analog of ICG-001 for 9 weeks reduces the formation of colon and small intestinal polyps by 42% as effectively as the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agent Sulindac, which has consistently demonstrated efficacy in this model. No overt toxicity is detected throughout the course of treatment. In the SW620 nude mouse xenograft model of tumor regression, 150 mg/kg, i.v. of analog demonstrates a dramatic reduction in tumor volume over the 19-day course of treatment, with no mortality or weight loss. ICG-001 (5 mg/kg per day) significantly inhibits beta-catenin signaling and attenuates bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis in mice, while concurrently preserving the epithelium. Cell Data

Measure primary endpoints (reporter activity, target protein levels, phenotype) and include vehicle controls and cytotoxicity counterscreens.
Biochemical assay workflow:
Prepare working solutions in assay buffer with minimal DMSO.
Preincubate compound with target or add concurrently depending on mechanism.
Record dose–response and calculate IC50/EC50 with appropriate curve-fitting models.
Documentation:
Record lot number, stock concentration, solvent, dilution scheme, and exact incubation conditions for reproducibility.
Biological Roles
ICG‑001 is widely referenced in the literature as a bioactive small molecule used to interrogate cell signaling pathways in research settings. Specific biological targets or mechanisms are not provided in this product entry and should be confirmed from primary literature and the CoA/SDS for your records.
General guidance for use as a research probe (no medical/clinical claims):
Enables perturbation of intracellular signaling, facilitating studies of transcriptional programs, differentiation status, and pathway crosstalk in cultured cells or biochemical systems.
Common experimental contexts include reporter assays, gene expression profiling (qPCR/RNA‑seq) after short-term exposure, and phenotypic screens to map pathway dependencies.
Off-target assessment: Employ counterscreens and inactive analog controls where available. Consider CRISPR/siRNA genetic validation to corroborate chemical probe findings.
Experimental considerations:
Determine non-cytotoxic concentration ranges using viability assays (e.g., resazurin, CellTiter‑Glo) in parallel with primary readouts.
Time dependence: Capture both early transcriptional events (2–6 h) and downstream phenotypes (24–72 h) to resolve primary vs. secondary effects.
Note: This product is for research use only and is not intended for human or veterinary applications.
Buffer Applications
This item is a bioactive small-molecule probe and is not itself a buffering agent. It does not participate in defined buffer systems.
Practical notes for preparing assay buffers with small-molecule stocks:
Prepare a concentrated DMSO stock, then dilute into pre-warmed assay buffer (e.g., HBSS, DPBS, culture medium) with vigorous mixing to avoid precipitation.
Maintain consistent final vehicle percentage across treatments and controls. Typical assay tolerances are ≤0.1–0.5% DMSO (literature guidance), but verify for your system.
If precipitation occurs, consider gentle warming, slower addition, or minimal non-ionic surfactant (0.01–0.05%), ensuring compatibility with the assay.
Green Alternatives
Green chemistry considerations are generally more applicable to bulk solvents and reagents than to specialized screening probes used at micromolar quantities. For handling ICG‑001-like probes, consider the following to reduce environmental impact:
Solvent minimization: Use the smallest feasible DMSO stock volume at the highest validated concentration to reduce solvent waste.
Aqueous compatibility: Where assay performance permits, keep final DMSO ≤0.1% v/v and maximize aqueous buffer content to reduce organic solvent usage.
Alternative vehicles: Cyclodextrin formulations or minimal amounts of biocompatible co-solvents (e.g., PEG400) can sometimes aid aqueous delivery; validate for assay interference.
Trade-offs (general):
DMSO alternatives may reduce environmental burden but can introduce assay artifacts or reduce compound stability/solubility. Always verify with vehicle controls and stability checks.
Waste handling:
Collect DMSO/organic waste in appropriate halogen-free waste streams. Decontaminate glassware with minimal solvent and follow institutional green lab guidelines.

Solvent Selection
Item-specific solubility is not provided. The following are general best practices for hydrophobic bioactive small molecules like ICG‑001 in assay workflows.
Primary stock solvent: Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is typically preferred for high-concentration stocks (e.g., 10–50 mM), due to broad solvency and compatibility with many cell-based and biochemical assays. Confirm solubility experimentally.
Secondary solvents/co-solvents: DMF and ethanol can sometimes be used, but may affect assay readouts more than DMSO. Verify vehicle controls.
Aqueous buffers: Direct dissolution into water/DPBS is often poor; instead, prepare a DMSO stock and perform serial dilutions into pre-warmed buffer with vigorous mixing. Maintain final DMSO below the assay’s tolerated level (commonly ≤0.1–0.5% v/v; literature guidance).
Light and oxygen: If the compound is light- or air-sensitive (not specified), use amber vials, degassed solvents, and minimize headspace.
Quick comparison (general):
DMSO: Highest solvency; widely tolerated in assays.
Ethanol: Moderate solvency; more cytotoxic at comparable v/v than DMSO.
Aqueous buffer with surfactant (e.g., 0.01–0.05% Tween-20): Can mitigate precipitation upon dilution but may impact certain readouts; validate compatibility.
Storage and Reconstitution
Storage conditions (as supplied): Store at −80°C (per product data). Keep tightly closed in original container. Protect from moisture and light.
Shipping: Shipped on dry ice packs + cold packs to maintain low temperature during transit.
Reconstitution solvent: Not specified for this item; common practice for small-molecule probes is to use anhydrous DMSO for stock solutions. Verify solubility empirically and consult the CoA for any specific recommendations.
