AZD1208 shows good antiproliferative activity in a megakaryoblastic leukemia cell line, MOLM-16, with GI50 values less than 100 nM[1].
AZD1208 (10 μM) inhibits the growth of Ramos cells, and at 1 μM, strongly inhibits PIM kinases in all cell at 1 μM. AZD1208 induces apoptosis, and PIM2 knockdown is mainly associated with an alteration of the cell cycle[2].
The combination of AZD1208 and AZD2014 rapidly activates AMPKα, a negative regulator of translation machinery through mTORC1/2 signaling in AML cells; profoundly inhibits AKT and 4EBP1 activation; and suppresses polysome formation[3].

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (13.18 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

Protocol
MOLM-16 cells, purchased from DSMZ and cultured in RPMI containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% L-glutamine, are plated at 20,000 cells per well in 96 well plates overnight. Cells are treated for 72 hours with compound or control vehicle (dimethyl sulfoxide) and cell viability is measured after the addition of Cell Titer-Blue for 4 hours at 37°C and reading of fluorescence on a Tecan Infinite® 200. The GI50 is determined by calculating growth at each dose relative to vehicle treated cells and cell viability at the time of treatment.
