    Description

    SAG is a potent Smoothened (Smo) receptor agonist (EC50=3 nM; Kd=59 nM). SAG activates the Hedgehog signaling pathway and counteracts Cyclopamine (HY-17024) inhibition of Smo[1][2][3].

    IC50 & Target

    EC50: 3 nM (Smo)[1]

    In Vitro

    SAG (0.1 nM-100 μM; 30 h) induces firefly luciferase expression in Shh-LIGHT2 cells with an EC50 of 3 nM and then inhibits expression at higher concentrations[1].
    SAG (1-1000 nM; 1 h) competes for the binding of BODIPY-cyclopamine to Smo-expressing Cos-1 cells, yielding an apparent dissociation constant (Kd) of 59 nM for the SAG/Smo complex[1].
    SAG (100 nM) inhibits the inhibitory effect of ShhN-induced pathway activation by Robotnikinin[2].
    SAG (250 nM; 48 h) significantly increases SMO mRNA and protein expression in MDAMB231 cells[3].
    SAG (250 nM; 24 and 48 h) increases CAXII mRNA expression in MDAMB231 cells at 24h in normoxic and hypoxic conditions in MDAMB231 cells[3].
    SAG (250 nM; 24 h) increases MDAMB231 cells migration[3].

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

    In Vivo

    SAG (1.0 mM) induces more osteogenesis mainly at the defect borders and a significant increase in BV/TV at the eight-week timepoint in CD-1 mice[4].
    SAG (15-20 mg/kg; i.p.) induces pre-axial polydactyly prevalently in a dose-dependent manner in mice[5].

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

    Animal Model: Pregnant C57BL/6J mice[5]
    Dosage: 15, 17, 20 mg/kg
    Administration: A single i.p.
    Result: Effective in ca. 80% of the embryos and increased Gli1 and Gli2 mRNA expression in the limb bud, with Gli1 mRNA being the most upregulated at the dose of 20 mg/kg.

    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: ≥ 10 mg/mL (20.41 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 10 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (100.0 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: ≥ 10 mg/mL (20.41 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 10 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (100.0 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.
