In Vitro
GW843682X (compound 1) is effective on inhibition of growth of tumor cells, with IC50s of 0.41, 0.57, 0.11, 0.38, and 0.70 μM for A549, BT474, HeLa, H460 and HCT116 cell lines. GW843682X dose-dependently inhibits PLK1 phosphorylation of Ser15-p53, with an IC50 of 0.14 μM. GW843682X (3 μM) causes a strong G2-M arres in HDF cells and H460 cells after treatment for 24, 48, and 72 h. GW843682X (5 μM) leads to apoptosis in H460 cells instead of HDF cells[1]. GW843682X inhibits proliferation of U937 cells with an EC50 of 120 nM. GW843682X (500 nM) in combination with 5 μM VP-16 suppresses 50% of entry into mitosis in U937 cells[2]. GW843682X (0.06-1 μM) has inhibitory activities against proliferation of acute leukemia cells, and potentiates the anti-proliferative activity of vincristine. Moreover, GW843682X (0.1-1 μM) induces apoptosis of leukemia cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. GW843682X (0.5-1 μM) dephosphorylates Bcl-xl in leukemia cells[3].

Solvent & Solubility
In Vitro:
DMSO : 33.33 mg/mL (69.81 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 2 years; -20°C, 1 year. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 2 years. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 year.

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (5.24 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 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.
