K858 Racemic is an ATP-uncompetitive inhibitor of Eg5 with an IC50 of 1.3 μM. K858 does not inhibit the ATPase activity of the mitotic kinesins CENP-E and MKLP1, or the conventional kinesin heavy chain even at 200 μM. K858 induces mitotic arrest and growth inhibition via the activation of the Mad2-mediated spindle checkpoint. K858 (5 μM) induces mitotic cell death in cancer cells but not in normal cells[1]. K858 (1, 10, 100 μM) inhibits the MCF7, BT474 and SKBR3 cell lines, and only at 10 and 100 μM suppresses MDA-MB231 cell line after treatment for 24 h. K858 incereases Bax/Bcl2 RNA ratio and survivin in the four cell lines. Furthermore, the up-regulation of survivin is totally reversed by wortmannin (phosphoinositide 3-kinase AKT) in MCF7 cells[2].

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : 100 mg/mL (360.56 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.

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 (9.01 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
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.

The co-solvents required include: DMSO, . All of co-solvents are available by MedChemExpress (MCE). , Tween 80. All of co-solvents are available by MedChemExpress (MCE).
Working solution concentration: 0.22 mg/mL
Method for preparing stock solution: mg drug dissolved in μL DMSO. Stock solution concentration: mg/mL.
1. Take μL DMSO stock solution;
2. Add μL .
μL , mix evenly;
3. Then add μL Tween 80, mix evenly;
4. Then add μL
Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.
Protocol
To determine cytotoxicity, sulforhodamine B colorimetric assay is performed: 1.5 × 104 cells are plated on 96 well plates, grown for 24 h (h) and treated with different concentrations of K858 (1 μM, 10 μM, 100 μM) for 24 and 48 h. Cells are then fixed with 50 % trichloroacetic acid for 1 h at 4°C and stained for 30 min at room temperature (RT) with 0.4 % sulforhodamine B in 1 % acetic acid. Excess dye is removed by washing four times with 1 % acetic acid. Protein bound dye is dissolved in 10 mM TRIS pH 10, and optical density (OD) is determined at 510 nm using a microplate reader[2].

A2780 cells (5 × 106 cells) are inoculated s.c. into BALB/cAJcl-nu mice. K858 is administered orally twice daily on days 0 to 4, and 7 to 11 at 150 and 50 mg/kg. Doses and schedules are determined by the tolerability studies performed in advance. Vehicle (0.5% methylcellulose 400) is administered orally as a control twice daily on days 0 to 4, and 7 to 11. Paclitaxel is administered i.v. on day 0 at 25 mg/kg. Carboplatin is administered i.v. on day 0 at 60 mg/kg. Drug efficacy is expressed as the ratio of the mean experimental V/V0 value to that of the control group [treated versus control (T/C) ratio], where V is the tumor volume at the day of evaluation and V0 is the tumor volume at the day of the initial treatment with the drug. Statistical analysis is performed using the nonparametric rank-sum test[1].
