    Description

    GSK2850163 is a novel inhibitor of inositol-requiring enzyme-1 alpha (IRE1α) which can inhibit IRE1α kinase activity and RNase activity with IC50s of 20 and 200 nM, respectively.

    IC50 & Target

    IC50: 20 nM (IRE1α kinase activity), 200 nM (IRE1α RNase activity)[1]

    In Vitro

    GSK2850163 is a novel inhibitor of inositol-requiring enzyme-1 alpha (IRE1α) which can inhibit IRE1α kinase activity and RNase activity with IC50s of 20 and 200 nM, respectively. The increased autophosphorylation of IRE1α could be reduced in a dose-dependent manner by GSK2850163. Increasing concentrations of GSK2850163 are capable of reducing the increased XBP 1 transcriptional activity. Two additional kinases are weakly inhibited by GSK2850163: Ron (IC50=4.4 μM) and FGFR1 V561M (IC50=17 μM)[1].

    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: ≥ 2.25 mg/mL (5.04 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (22.5 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% Corn Oil

      Solubility: ≥ 2.25 mg/mL (5.04 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (22.5 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

    Cell Assay
    [1]

    PANC-1 cells are seeded into six-well plates at a density of 5.0×103 cells/well in RPMI 1640 media containing 10% FBS. Cells are cotransfected with a pGL3-5x unfolded protein response element (UPRE)-luciferase reporter containing five repetitions of the XBP-1 DNA binding site and pRL-SV40 using the FuGENE6 transfection reagent. Forty-eight hours later, cells are treated with 2.5 mg/mL tunicamycin for 1 hour, followed by GSK2850163 treatment for 16 hours. Luciferase expression is measured using Dual-Glo Luciferase Assay kit and normalized to Renilla expression levels[1].

    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.
