Description

PP121 is a multi-targeted kinase inhibitor with IC50s of 10, 60, 12, 14, 2 nM for mTOR, DNK-PK, VEGFR2, Src, PDGFR, respectively.

IC50 & Target[1]

mTOR

10 nM (IC50)

PDGFR

2 nM (IC50)

VEGFR2

12 nM (IC50)

Src

14 nM (IC50)

DNK-PK

60 nM (IC50)

In Vitro

PP121 blocks the PI3K pathway by direct inhibition of PI3K/mTOR in two glioblastoma cell lines, U87 and LN229. PP121 potently inhibits the proliferation of a diverse panel of tumor cell lines containing mutations in the PI3-K pathway components PIK3CA, PTEN, or RAS. PP121 induces a G0G1 arrest in most tumor cells. PP121 directly inhibits Src in cells and reverses its biochemical and morphological effects. PP121 potently inhibits the Ret kinase domain in vitro (IC50<1 nM). PP121 potently blocks VEGF stimulated activation of the PI3-K and MAPK pathways. PP121 inhibits VEGFR2 autophosphorylation at low nanomolar concentrations, confirming that this molecule directly targets VEGFR2 in cells. PP121 inhibits Bcr-Abl induced tyrosine phosphorylation in K562 cells as well as BaF3 cells that express Bcr-Abl[1].

In Vivo

Oral administration of PP121 remarkably inhibits Eca-109 xenograft growth. Mice body weights are not significantly affected by PP121 or the vehicle treatment. PP121 oral administration dramatically inhibits activations of Akt-mTOR and NFkB in xenograft tumors. p-Akt Ser 473 and p-IKKa/b are both inhibited by PP121 administration[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 mg/mL (6.26 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    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.
  • Protocol 2

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

    Solubility: ≥ 2 mg/mL (6.26 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.0 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
[1]

Purified kinase domains are incubated with inhibitors (PP121) at 2- or 4-fold dilutions over a concentration range of 50- 0.001 µM or with vehicle (0.1% DMSO) in the presence of 10 µM ATP, 2.5 µCi of γ- 32P-ATP and substrate. Reactions are terminated by spotting onto nitrocellulose or phosphocellulose membranes, depending on the substrate; this membrane is then washed 5-6 times to remove unbound radioactivity and dried. Transferred radioactivity is quantitated by phosphorimaging and IC50 values are calculated by fitting the data to a sigmoidal doseresponse using Prism software[1].

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

Cell Assay

Cells grown in 96-well plates are treated with PP121 at 4-fold dilutions (10 µM - 0.040 μM) or vehicle (0.1% DMSO). After 72 h cells are exposed to Resazurin sodium salt (22 µM) and fluorescence is quantified. IC50 values are calculated. For proliferation assays involving single cell counting, non-adherent cells are plated at low density (3–5% confluence) and treated with drug (2.5 µM) or vehicle (0.1% DMSO). Cells are diluted into trypan blue daily and viable cells counted using a hemocytometer[1].

Animal Administration
[2]

Mice: Eca-109 cells are injected into the axillary regions of nude mice (5×106 cells/mouse). When the tumor volumes reach around 200 mm3, the mice are randomly separated to three groups: Untreated control, PP121 (30 mg/kg) and vehicle (10% 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone and 90% PEG 300) group. Tumor volumes and the mice body weights are measured every 10 d[2].

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.
