Description

TA-02, an analog of SB 203580 (HY-10256), is a p38 MAPK inhibitor with an IC50 of 20 nM. TA-02 especially inhibits TGFBR-2. TA-02 exhibits similar cardiogenic properties as SB 203580 and SB 202190 (HY-10295)[1].

In Vitro

TA-02 (5 μM) inhibits the phosphorylation of proteins downstream of p38α MAPK such as MAPKAPK2 and HSP27 during cardiogenesis. TA-02 at 5 μM concentration induces cardiogenesis, but also increases ATF-2 phosphorylation and MEF2C õexpression in contrast to what would be expected with a mechanism dependent on p38α MAPK inhibition[1].
TA-02 induces T/Brachyury whereas SB203580 addition increased MESP1 and T/Brachyury transcripts[1].
TA-02 significantly induces high NKX2-5 expression when applied between days 0-8[1].
TA-02 is found to inhibit multiple targets with similar potency to p38α MAPK, such as p38α, p38β, JNK3, JNK2, CIT, CK1ε, DMPK2, JNK1, DDR1 CK1δ, MEK5, and ERBB2[1].
TA-02 and SB203580 reduce the nuclear TCF/LEF-1 driven transcription of luciferase similar to DKK-1[1].
TA-02 (5 nM-5 μM) inhibits p38 and increases the anti-inflammation effects of BDNF on inflammation in vitro[2].

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 (7.50 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 (7.50 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.

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.
