Description

KN-62 is a selective and reversible inhibitor of calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMK-II) with a Ki of 0.9 μM for rat brain CaMK-II. KN-62 directly binds to the calmodulin binding site of CaMK-II. KN-62 displays noncompetitive antagonism at P2X7 receptors in HEK293 cells, with an IC50 value of approximately 15 nM.

0.9 μM (Ki)

In Vitro

KN-62 potently antagonizes ATP-stimulated Ba2+ influx into fura-2 loaded human lymphocytes with an IC50 of 12.7 nM and complete inhibition of the flux at a concentration of 500 nM[1].
? KN-62 does not inhibit the activity of autophosphorylated Ca2+/CaM kinase II. KN-62 inhibits the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent autophosphorylation of both alpha (50 kDa) and beta (60 kDa) subunits of Ca2+/CaM kinase II dose dependently in the presence or absence of exogenous substrate[2].
? In human leukemic B lymphocytes, KN-62 reduces the rate of permeability increase to larger permeant cations, like ethidium, induced by Bz-ATP with an IC50 of 13.1 nM[4].

In Vivo

KN62 (5?mg/kg/day; ip; three times a week for 6 weeks) significantly reduces the liver metastatic tumor burden in five weeks old BALB/c athymic nude mice inoculated with TAMR-MCF-7 cells[3].
? KN-62 (1 μg/site, i.c.v.) prevents the antidepressant-like behavior and antidepressant-like behaviors of ZnCl2 (10 mg/kg, p.o.)[5].

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.

Kinase Assay
[1]

Lymphocytes (1×107/mL) are cultured with [3H]-oleic acid (2-5 μCi/mL, specific activity 10 Ci/mmol) for 20-24 h in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with Gentamicin (40 μg/mL), 10% heat inactivated foetal calf serum (FCS) at 37°C to label membrane phospholipids. Labelled cells are washed twice in HEPES buffered saline followed by a final wash in either HEPES buffered saline or 150 mM KCl medium containing HEPES 10 mM, pH 7.4, bovine serum albumin (BSA) 1 g/L and D-glucose 5 mM and CaCl2 1 mM. Three mL aliquots containing 1.1×10< sup>7/mL lymphocytes are warmed to 37°C and incubated with or without KN-62 or KN-04 (1 nM-500 nM) for 5 min, then 900 mL aliquots are added to 100 uL butanol (final concentration 30 mM) for a further 5 min, and stimulated with 1 mM ATP for 15 min with gentle mixing in the continued presence of inhibitor or diluent. The phospholipase D reaction is terminated by addition of 1 mL of 20 mM MgCl2 followed by centrifugation and addition of 1 mL ice cold methanol. Membrane lipids are extracted into chloroform/HCl at 4°C under N2, and separated by silica gel thin layer chromatography (t.l.c.) with the solvent system, ethyl acetate/iso-octane/acetic acid/water (13:2:3:10, v/v) under saturating conditions. Sample spots are located by autoradiography and [3H]-phosphatidylbutanol ([3H]-PBut) spots identified by an authentic standard. [3H]-PBut and [3H]-phospholipid spots are scraped into scintillant fluid (PPO in toluene, 4 g/L) and counted in a liquid scintillation counter. The quantity of [3H]-PBut is presented as a percentage of total 3H labelled-cellular phospholipids. Phospholipase D assays are performed in triplicate[1].

Cell Assay
[4]

All experiments are performed using adherent HEK293 cells stably transfected with cDNA encoding the human P2X7 receptor. Adherent cells on 12-well polylysine-coated plates are incubated at 37°C in 1 mL physiological salt solution (125 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 1.5 mM CaCl2, 25 mM NaHEPES (pH 7.5), 10 mM D-glucose, 1 mg/mL BSA). Antagonists(e.g., KN-62) are added from 1,000× stock solutions dissolved in DMSO. Cells are preincubated with antagonists (e.g., KN-62) for 15 min prior to stimulation for 10 min with 3 mM ATP (final concentration). Reactions are terminated by rapid aspiration of the extracellular medium in each well. The adherent cells in each well are then extracted overnight with 1 mL 10% HNO3. K+ content in these nitric acid extracts is assayed by atomic absorbance spectrophotometry. Duplicate or triplicate wells are run for all test conditions in each separate experiment[4].

Animal Administration
[5]

Mice[3]
Female Swiss mice (45-55 days old, weighing 30-45 g) are used. The following drugs are used: ZnCl2 (1 or 10 mg/kg), H-89 (1 μg/site, PKA inhibitor), KN-62 (1 μg/site, CAMKII inhibitor), chelerythrine (1 μg/site, PKC inhibitor), PD98059 (5 μg/site, MAPKK/MEK 1/2 inhibitor), U0126 (5 μg/site, MEK1/2 inhibitor), LY294002 (10 nmol/site, PI3K inhibitor), AR-A014418 (0.001 μg/site, selective GSK-3β inhibitor). ZnCl2 is dissolved in distilled water and administered orally (p.o.). H-89, KN-62, chelerythrine, PD98059, U0126, LY294002, AR-A014418 are dissolved in saline (0.9% NaCl) at a final concentration of 1% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and administered by intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) route. The drugs are freshly prepared before treatment and administered in a volume of 10 mL/kg body weight (p.o. route) or 5 μL/site (i.c.v. route). Control animals receive the appropriate vehicle.

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.
