BMS-5 (LIMKi 3) inhibits cofilin-Ser3 phosphorylation in a dose-dependent manner in Nf2ΔEx2 mouse Schwann cells (MSCs) with an IC50 of ~2 μM. BMS-5 (LIMKi 3) reduces Nf2ΔEx2 MSC viability in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 of 3.9 μM, but does not significantly reduce the viability of control Nf2flox2/flox2 MSCs at equivalent BMS-5 concentrations. At 10 μM BMS-5, Nf2ΔEx2 MSC viability is 40% compared to 83% for controls[2].

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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.82 mM); Clear solution

Protocol
The protein kinase domains of human LIMK1 and LIMK2 are expressed as glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins using the Bac-to-Bac system in Sf9 cells. Compounds 1 to 6 (e.g., BMS-5) are assayed for inhibition of LIMK1 and LIMK2 protein kinase activity by radioactive phosphate incorporation into biotinylated full-length human destrin. Reactions are done with a concentration series of compound in 25 mM HEPES, 100 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 5 mM MnCl2, 1 μM total ATP, 83 μg/mL biotinylated destrin, 167 ng/mL glutathione S-transferase-LIMK1, or 835 ng/mL glutathione S-transferase-LIMK2 in a total volume of 60 μL at room temperature for 30 min (LIMK1) or 60 min (LIMK2). Reactions are terminated by addition of 140 μL of 20% TCA/100 mM sodium pyrophosphate, and the precipitates are harvested onto GF/C unifilter plates. The radioactivity incorporated is determined using a TopCount after addition of 35 μL Microscint scintillation fluid[1].

Cell membrane asymmetry is measured. Nf2ΔEx2 MSCs plated in a 6-well format are incubated with 2 µM BMS-5 or DMSO vehicle for 24 hrs. Cell are harvested and assayed. Plasma membrane asymmetry is evaluated with the Violet ratiometric assay by flow cytometry[2].

Rats [3]
Male Wistar rats (age 2-3 months, weight 290-350 g) are used. BMS-5 is prepared in a vehicle solution (1% DMSO in sterile isotonic saline). At the time of infusion, a 30-gauge infusion needle is fitted into a guide cannula, with its tip protruding 1.0 mm beyond the guide cannula end and aimed at the pyramidal cell layer of CA1 of the dorsal hippocampus. Avolume of 1 μL of BMS-5 (20 and 200 μM) or vehicle (DMSO 1%) is bilaterally infused in a time of 90 s. The doses of BMS-5 are based on its IC50 value and in vitro studies.
