Centrinone-B (LCR-323) is a potent and highly selective PLK4 inhibitor, with a Ki of 0.59 nM. Centrinone-B slightly binds to Aurora A and Aurora B, with Kis of 1239 nM and 5597.14 nM. Centrinone-B (LCR-323) exhibits >1000-fold selectivity for Plk4 over Aurora A/B in vitro and does not affect cellular Aurora A or B substrate phosphorylation at concentrations that deplete centrosomes[1]. Centrinone-B (LCR-323) (0-200 nM) significantly decreases cell viability of PLK4-centriole conjunction melanoma cell lines except p53 mutant SK-MEL-28, and this effect is via inhibition of PLK4. Inhibition of PLK4 by Centrinone-B (LCR-323) also induces apoptosis in human melanoma cell lines[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 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (3.96 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic
This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.
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.

Protocol
All kinase assays are performed in white 384-well plates. Plk4 assays use equal volumes of: (1) purified 6xHis-tagged human Plk4 kinase domain (aa 2-275) (expressed in E. coli and purified via Ni-NTA affinity chromatography) in 20 mM Tris pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, 1 mM DTT; (2) 2X reaction buffer consisting of 50 mM HEPES pH 8.5, 20 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 0.2 mg/mL BSA, 16 μM ATP, and 200 μM A-A11 substrate (amino acid sequence: TPSDSLIYDDGLS). The Plk4 concentration in the final reaction is 2.5-10 nM with a final pH of 8.0. Inhibitors arrayed in dose response are added from DMSO stocks. Reactions are allowed to proceed for 4-16 hours at 25°C. Detection is performed using ADP-Glo reagent. Luminescence is measured on an Infinite M1000 plate reader. Data are fit using Prism and Kis are calculated from IC50 data[1].

The effect of centrinone B on melanoma cell line and normal melanocyte viability is determined using the CytoTox-Glo assay. Briefly, cells are counted and plated in a 96-well plate and next day, treated with centrinone B for 48 hours, followed by incubation for 15 min with AAF-Glo substrate (alanyl-alanylphenylalanyl-aminoluciferin), which determines a distinct intracellular protease activity related with cytotoxicity (dead-cell protease) via a luminescent signal. Cell viability is determined by subtracting the luminescent signals of dead cells (due to centrinone B) from total dead cells (after addition of digitonin to lyse remaining viable cells). Data are represented as relative light units (RLU) for viable cells[2].
