    In Vitro

    ML349 is an inhibitor of acyl protein thioesterase 1 and 2 (APT-1 and APT-2) with Kis of >10000 and 120±20 nM, respectively[1].
    ML349 is also an inhibitor of both LYPLA1 and LYPLA2 with IC50s of >3000 and 144 nM, respectivley[2].
    ML348 and ML349 do not decrease cell viability, but they lead to a slight activation of AKT in NRAS mutant cells[3].

    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 mg/mL (4.40 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

      This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2 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 (20.0 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.

    Cell Assay
    [3]

    Cells are plated in 96-well plates with a density of 4000 to 8000 cells per well and incubated for 24 h at 37°C with 5% CO2. Then cells are treated with increasing drug (including ML349) concentrations and their combinations. Cell viability is measured with the cell viability assay according to the manufacturer's protocol[3].

    • 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.
