Description

MK-8745 is an aurora A kinase inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.6 nM.

IC50 & Target[1]

Aurora A

0.6 nM (IC50)

In Vitro

MK-8745 induces apoptotic cell death in a p53-dependent manner when tested in vitro in cell lines of multiple lineages. Exposure of p53 wild-type cells to MK-8745 results in the induction of p53 phosphorylation (ser15) and an increase in p53 protein expression[1]. 1 μM of MK-8745 exposure for 24 h induces cell cycle arrest in all NHL cells, with variable degrees of G2/M arrest. Z138C cells are highly sensitive to MK-8745 (1 μ M) treatment and induces an approximate 5.5-fold increase in the G2/M phase cell population by 96 h. MK-8745 treatment inhibits phosphorylation of Aurora-A in Granta 519 and Z138C cells, while Akata and JVM2 has no effect. MK-8745 specifically inhibits Aurora-A specific function. MK-8745 treatment leads to apoptotic cell death[2].

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.79 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.
  • Protocol 2

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

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.79 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 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.

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.
