    Description

    NSC 23766 is a cell-permeable, reversible and specific inhibitor of Rac GTPase, used for cancer treatment.

    In Vitro

    NSC 23766 (100 μM) treatment effectively inhibits polar body emission in a dose-dependent manner. NSC 23766 (200 μM) increases the percentage of morphologically abnormal spindles of oocytes. In NSC 23766-treated oocytes, the p-MAPK protein expression is significantly decreased[2]. NSC23766 (50 μM) plus 100 ng/mL Jagged1, GDF9 and BMP15, reduces the number of germLine cell cysts and increases the number of primordial follicles[3]. NSC23766 significantly inhibits GTP-Rac1 activity and phosphorylation of Rac1-PAK, ERKs and p38 MAPK in the spinal dorsal horn neurons[4].

    In Vivo

    NSC23766 (2.5 mg/kg/day, i.p.) significantly attenuates the onset of spontaneous diabetes in NOD mice, without significant effects on the growth (body weights) of the mice. NSC23766 significantly increases the expression of Rac1 and CHOP, a marker for ER-stress, in islets from NOD 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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.93 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 (5.93 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.

    Kinase Assay
    [4]

    Briefly, fresh spinal cord tissue of the lumbar enlargement is homogenised in the presence of protease and phosphatase inhibitors and lysed with buffer. After being centrifuged at 12,000× g for 5 min at 4°C, the supernatants are collected and incubated with PAK-PBD beads at 4°C on a rotator for 1 h and then the beads are pelleted through centrifugation at 5000× g for 3 min at 4°C. The resulting pellet is resuspended in LaemmLi buffer and boiled for 2 min. The bead samples are subjected to Western blot analysis. Total Rac1 in each sample is also determined by Western blot analysis.

    Animal Administration
    [1]

    Balb/c control and NOD mice are at 7 weeks of age and are divided into four groups (n=8/group). At 8 weeks of age two groups of experimental animals (Balb/c and NOD) receive NSC23766 (2.5 mg/kg/day, i.p./daily) and other two groups, which serve as control Balb/c and NOD mice and receive equal volume of saline. The body weights and blood glucose are monitored every week for 34 weeks.

    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.
