    In Vitro

    5-Iodotubercidin (NSC 113939) inhibits CK1, insulin receptor tyrosine kinase, phosphorylase kinase, PKA, CK2 and PKC, and the IC50 values are 0.4, 3.5, 5-10, 5-10, 10.9 and 27.7 μM respectively[1].
    ? 5-Iodotubercidin (20 μM) causes an important decrease in ATP concentration, and a concomitant smaller increase in AMP concentration. 5-Iodotubercidin decreases the activity of ACC and the rates of synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol. In line with the iodotubercidin-mediated inhibition of ACC, 5-iodotubercidin induces a marked decrease in the intracellular concentration of malonyl-CoA[4].

    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.

    Kinase Assay
    [2]

    AK activity is measured in a radiochemical assay. The final reaction volume is 100 µL and contained 70 mM Tris-maleate (pH 7.0), 0.1% (w/v) bovine serum albumin, 1.0 mM MgCl2, 1.0 mM ATP, 1.0 µM [U-14C]adenosine (400-600 mCi/mmol) and various inhibitor concentrations. Inhibitors are prepared as 10 mM stock solutions in DMSO. The final DMSO concentration in the assay is 5% (v/v). Eleven different concentration of the test solutions ranging from 0.001 to 10.0 µM are utilized to determine a dose response curve of the inhibition of the enzyme. Reactions are started by adding the appropriate amount of purified human recombinant AK and incubated for 20 min at 37°C. The reactions are terminated by addition of the potent AKI GP3269. A 30-µL aliquot of each reaction is spotted on DEAE cellulose filter paper (cut in squares of appr 1×1 cm) and air-dried for 30 min. The dry filters are then washed for 3 min in deionized water to remove residual [U-14C]adenosine, rinsed with ethanol and dried at 90°C for 20 min. The filter papers are counted in 5.5 mL of Ready Safe liquid scintillation cocktail using a Beckman LS3801 scintillation counter. Control AK activity is determined from the amount of [14C]AMP formed in the presence of 5% DMSO. The concentration of inhibitor required to inhibit 50% of the AK activity (IC50) is determined graphically from plots of inhibitor concentration versus percent (%) control enzyme activity.

    Cell Assay
    [4]

    HeLa cells are grown in DME supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 2 mM l-glutamine. Nocodazole is used at a concentration of 3.3 µM unless differently specified. Thymidine (2.5 mM) is used in the asssay. For transfection, FuGENE 6 Transfection Agent is used at a 3:1 ratio with plasmid DNA. Cells are analyzed 24-48 h after transfection.

    Animal Administration
    [2]

    Male SA rats (100-150 g) are maintained on a 12:12 light:dark cycle in temperaturecontrolled facilities with free access to food and water. One hour prior to seizure testing, the animals are injected intraperitoneally (1 mL/kg) with DMSO vehicle or with test compound dissolved in DMSO. At the time of the test, an electrolyte solution (2% lidocaine in 0.9% sodium chloride) is applied to the eyes. Maximal electroshock seizures are induced by administering a 60-Hz current of 150 mA for 0.2 s via corneal electrodes, using a Wahlquist Model H stimulator. The endpoint measured is suppression of hindlimb tonic extension (HTE) and expressed as percentage of animals in which the response is inhibited. At this supramaximal stimulation level, virtually 100% of control (vehicle-treated) animals show HTE. ED50 values are calculated from a dose-response curve using probit analysis. The N for the screening doses is 6-8; doseresponse determinations are conducted with at least 5 animals/dose.

    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.
