    Description

    Opaganib (ABC294640) is a selective, competitive sphingosine kinase 2 (SK2) inhibitor with Ki of 9.8 μM.

    IC50 & Target

    Ki: 9.8 μM (SK2)[1]

    In Vitro

    Using recombinant human SK1 and SK2, Opaganib demonstrates dose-dependent inhibition of SK2 with an IC50 of approximately 60 μM without affecting the activity of SK1 at concentrations up to at least 100 μM. In contrast, N,N-dimethylsphingosine (DMS) inhibits both SK1 and SK2 with IC50 values of approximately 60 and 20 μM, respectively. Kinetic analyses of varying concentrations of Opaganib (ABC294640) in the presence of 2.5 to 25 μM sphingosine indicated a Ki of 9.8±1.4 μM for the inhibition of SK2. Opaganib (ABC294640) decreases [3H]S1P formation in a dose-dependent fashion with an IC50 value of 26 μM[1]. IC50 values for Opaganib (ABC294640) are approximately 50 and 60 μM for A-498 and Bxpc-3 cells, respectively; whereas the IC50 values for Opaganib (ABC294640) are approximately 20 and 40 μM for these cells[2].

    In Vivo

    Opaganib induces a transient minor decrease in the hematocrit of rats. Hematology studies indicate decreases in red blood cell number and hematocrit of approximately 20% in animals given either 100 or 250 mg/kg/day; and a slight increase in neutrophils and decrease in basophils in the treated rats[1]. Mice are gavaged with Opaganib (50 mg/kg), a selective inhibitor of sphingosine kinase-2 (SK2), 1 h before surgery and subjected to 1 h-warm ischemia to ~70% of the liver followed by reperfusion. Opaganib-treatment largely prevented the increase of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) after ischemia-reperfusion (IR) in vivo[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 (6.56 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% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.56 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 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

      Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

    Cell Assay
    [1]

    To determine the effects of the test compounds (e.g., Opaganib (ABC294640)) on proliferation, cells are plated into 96-well microtiter plates and allowed to attach for 24 h. Varying concentrations of Opaganib are added to individual wells and the cells are incubated for an additional 72 h. At the end of this period, the number of viable cells is determined by use of the sulforhodamine-binding assay. The percentage of cells killed is calculated as the percentage decrease in sulforhodamine-binding compare with control cultures. Regression analyses of inhibition curves are performed by use of GraphPad Prism[1].

    Animal Administration
    [1][3]

    Rats[1]
    Sprague-Dawley male rats (7-8 weeks old) are orally dosed with 0, 100, or 250 mg of ABC294640•HCl/kg in 0.375% Polysorbate-80 in PBS daily for 7 days. The animals are observed daily for viability, signs of gross toxicity, and behavioral changes, and a battery of detailed observations are performed on study days 1 and 7. Blood is sampled from all animals on day 8 of the study for hematology, clinical biochemistry, and serology assessments, and the animals are sacrificed. Gross necropsies are performed on all study rats, and selected organs and tissues are evaluated in the control and high-dose level groups.
    Mice[3]
    Male C57BL/6 (8-9 weeks) mice are gavaged with 50 mg/kg of Opaganib (ABC294640), or an equivalent volume of vehicle (0.375% Tween 80 in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.1) 1 h before surgery. Under ether anesthesia, ischemia to 70% of the total liver is induced for 1 h. After opening the vascular clamp, the non-ischemic liver lobes are removed, and mice are observed 7 days for survival. Sham operation included equivalent anesthesia and laparotomy without ischemia.

    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.
