Description

KW-2478 is an inhibitor of Hsp90α, with an IC50 of 3.8 nM, and has antitumor activity against various human hematological tumor cells.

IC50 & Target[1]

HSP90α

3.8 nM (IC50)

In Vitro

KW-2478 is an inhibitor of Hsp90, with an IC50 of 3.8 nM for Hsp90α. KW-2478 shows anti-proliferative activity against multiple myeloma (MM) and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), with GI50s of 0.30 μM (OPM-2/GFP), 0.34 μM (KMS-11), 0.39 μM (RPMI 8226), 0.12 μM (NCI-H929), 0.36 μM (Raji), 0.098 μM (SR), and 0.33 μM μM (SC-1). KW-2478 also inhibits the transcription of c-Maf and Cyclin D1 genes by mainly suppressing the function of Cdk9[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

KW-2478 (25-200 mg/kg, i.v.) inhibits tumor growth in combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice bearing NCI-H929 cells, without body weight loss. KW-2478 (100 mg/kg, i.v.) causes degradation of the Hsp90 client proteins (IGF-1Rβ, c-Raf-1, Cdk9) levels and dephosphorylated Erk1/2 proteins in NCI-H929 tumors of mice[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: ≥ 5 mg/mL (8.70 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 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.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (8.70 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 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.

Cell Assay
[1]

The cells are plated into 96-well plates and treated with KW-2478. After 72 hours of cultivation, cell viability is determined using WST-1. WST reagent is added to the wells, followed by incubation for 4 hours at 37°C. After that, the absorbance at 450 nm with reference at 650 nm is measured with a microplate spectrophotometer[1].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Administration
[1]

Mice[1]
Severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice are intraperitoneally injected with anti-asialo GM1 antibody. The next day, all mice are subcutaneously inoculated with NCI-H929 cells (1×107 cells) suspended in PBS containing 50% of Matrigel. After 10 days, tumor volume is measured using the Antitumor test system II, a computer-operated system including software and instruments. SCID mice with tumors (190 to 290 mm3) are selected. After randomly grouping, saline (vehicle) or KW-2478 is intravenously administered to mice once or twice daily for 5 days. 17-AAG is intravenously administered to mice. Tumor volume is calculated by the Anti-tumor test system II as follows: Tumor volume=DL×DS×DS×1/2. Fourteen days after the initial administration, blood samples of each mouse are obtained, followed by measurement of serum M protein (Ig kappa chain) with Human Kappa-b&f ELISA Quantitation Kit. The statistical analysis is performed using SAS software[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.
