Description

K858 Racemic is an ATP-uncompetitive inhibitor of kinesin Eg5 with an IC50 of 1.3 μM.

IC50 & Target[1]

Eg5

1.3 μM (IC50)

In Vitro

K858 Racemic is an ATP-uncompetitive inhibitor of Eg5 with an IC50 of 1.3 μM. K858 does not inhibit the ATPase activity of the mitotic kinesins CENP-E and MKLP1, or the conventional kinesin heavy chain even at 200 μM. K858 induces mitotic arrest and growth inhibition via the activation of the Mad2-mediated spindle checkpoint. K858 (5 μM) induces mitotic cell death in cancer cells but not in normal cells[1]. K858 (1, 10, 100 μM) inhibits the MCF7, BT474 and SKBR3 cell lines, and only at 10 and 100 μM suppresses MDA-MB231 cell line after treatment for 24 h. K858 incereases Bax/Bcl2 RNA ratio and survivin in the four cell lines. Furthermore, the up-regulation of survivin is totally reversed by wortmannin (phosphoinositide 3-kinase AKT) in MCF7 cells[2].

In Vivo

K858 (50, 150 mg/kg, p.o.) shows antitumor activity in an A2780 ovarian cancer xenograft model, also inhibits tumor grwoth in a HCT116 colon cancer xenograft model via 100 mg/kg twice a day orally for 5 days. K858 (100 mg/kg, p.o., qd ×5) displays no neurotoxic side effects in mice[1].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.01 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.01 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Cell Assay
[2]

To determine cytotoxicity, sulforhodamine B colorimetric assay is performed: 1.5 × 104 cells are plated on 96 well plates, grown for 24 h (h) and treated with different concentrations of K858 (1 μM, 10 μM, 100 μM) for 24 and 48 h. Cells are then fixed with 50 % trichloroacetic acid for 1 h at 4°C and stained for 30 min at room temperature (RT) with 0.4 % sulforhodamine B in 1 % acetic acid. Excess dye is removed by washing four times with 1 % acetic acid. Protein bound dye is dissolved in 10 mM TRIS pH 10, and optical density (OD) is determined at 510 nm using a microplate reader[2].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Administration
[1]

A2780 cells (5 × 106 cells) are inoculated s.c. into BALB/cAJcl-nu mice. K858 is administered orally twice daily on days 0 to 4, and 7 to 11 at 150 and 50 mg/kg. Doses and schedules are determined by the tolerability studies performed in advance. Vehicle (0.5% methylcellulose 400) is administered orally as a control twice daily on days 0 to 4, and 7 to 11. Paclitaxel is administered i.v. on day 0 at 25 mg/kg. Carboplatin is administered i.v. on day 0 at 60 mg/kg. Drug efficacy is expressed as the ratio of the mean experimental V/V0 value to that of the control group [treated versus control (T/C) ratio], where V is the tumor volume at the day of evaluation and V0 is the tumor volume at the day of the initial treatment with the drug. Statistical analysis is performed using the nonparametric rank-sum test[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
