S3I-201 (5 mg/kg, i.v. every 2 or every 3 days) shows the antitumor efficacy in mouse models with human breast tumor xenografts that harbor constitutively active Stat3., [1] S3I-201 treatment reduces Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) replication on the basis of the bioluminescence signal and the number of positive skin xenografts compared with DMSO-treated mice by inhibiting STAT3 phosphorylation.

In vitro Stat3 DNA-binding assay and EMSA analysis, Briefly, 100 mL of biotinyl-e-Ac-EPQpYEEIEL-OH (in 50 mM Tris/150 mM NaCl, pH 7.5) is added to each well of streptavidin-coated 96-well microtiter plates and incubated with shaking at 4 C overnight. Then plates are rinsed with PBS/Tween 20 and then two times with 200 mL of BSA-T-PBS (0.2% BSA/0.1% Tween 20/PBS). Then 50 mL of Lck-SH2-GST fusion protein (6.4 ng/ml in BSA-T-PBS) is added to each well of the 96-well plate in the presence and absence of 50 mL of S3I-201 (for 30 and 100 mM final concentrations), and the plate is shaken at room temperature for 4 hours. After solutions are removed, each well is rinsed four times with BSA-T-PBS (200 mL), and 100 mL of polyclonal rabbit anti-GST antibody (100 ng/mL in BSA-T-PBS) is added to each well and incubated at 4 C overnight. After washing with BSA-T-PBS, 100 mL of 200 ng/mL BSA-T-PBS horseradish peroxidase-conjugated mouse anti-rabbit antibody is added to each well and incubated for 45 minutes at room temperature. After four washing steps with BSA-T-PBS and three washing steps with PBS-T, 100 mL of peroxidase substrate is added to each well and incubated for 5-15 minutes. The peroxidase reaction is stopped by adding 100 mL of 1 M sulfuric acid solution, and absorbance is read at 450 nm with an ELISA plate reader.
