Description: Tiomolibdate diammonium, also known as Ammonium tetrathiomolybdate, is a SOD1 inhibitor with potential antiangiogenic and antitumor activities. ammonium Tiomolibdate diammonium has been found to deplete systemic copper reserves through an unknown mechanism. This agent has been shown to inhibit the activities of cuproenzymes, including superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) and cytochrome c oxidase (COX), which may contribute to its antiangiogenic and antitumor effects.

Product Data:
Safety Data Sheet (SDS):
Biological target: Tiomolibdate diammonium is a SOD1 inhibitor.
In vitro activity: The target specificity of tetrathiomolybdate (ATM), an anti-angiogenic, anti-tumor agent against the viability / proliferation of arterial, venous, capillary endothelial and tumor cells was evaluated. Venous proliferation showed high ATM sensitivity (50% reduction ~ > or =5 uM ATM, p<0.01), capillary proliferation was inhibited > or =10 uM (p<0.05). Arterial endothelium were less sensitive to ATM, (50% inhibition ~ > or = 20 uM, p<0.01). YPEN-1 were inhibited >50 uM ATM. Capillary viability was inhibited > or =20 microM ATM (p<0.01); venous, arterial and tumor viability show less ATM sensitivity. These data suggest that venous and capillary endothelial proliferation are important targets in ATM therapy, but that other vascular segments and tumor cells may be less influenced.

In vivo activity: Ammonium tetrathiomolybdate (TTM) is a copper-chelating drug that is capable of removing a copper ion from copper-thiolate clusters, such as SOD1. TTM exerted therapeutic benefits in a mouse model of familial ALS (SOD1(G93A)). TTM treatment significantly delayed disease onset, slowed disease progression and prolonged survival by approximately 20%, 42% and 25%, respectively. TTM also effectively depressed the spinal copper ion level and inhibited lipid peroxidation, with a significant suppression of SOD1 enzymatic activity in SOD1(G93A). These results support the hypothesis that aberrant copper chemistry through a cysteine residue plays a critical role in mutant SOD1 toxicity and that TTM may be a promising therapy for familial ALS with SOD1 mutants.
