The specificity of SL327 for MEK is investigated. Kinase activity is assessed by measuring the incorporation of [32P]phosphate during phosphorylation of substrate peptides specific for each kinase. Although SL327 inhibits MEK with an IC50 of 0.27 μM, 10 μM SL327 has no significant effect on PKA, CaMKII, or PKC[2].

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline

Protocol
Protein kinase assays are performed. All kinase assays are started by adding enzyme to a mixture that included [γ-32P]ATP and substrate. This mixture is then incubated at 30°C or 37°C for 10 min. The reaction is stopped by spotting aliquots of the reaction mixture onto Whatman P-81 phosphocellulose filter paper. The papers are then washed in 150 mM H3PO4, dried, and subjected to scintillation counting. The catalytic subunit of PKA is assayed by measuring [32P]phosphate incorporation into the substrate Kemptide (100 μM). The activity of CaMKII is determined by measuring phosphorylation of the synthetic peptide Autocamtide (100 μM) in the presence of 100 μM Calcium and 10 μg/mL Calmodulin. A synthetic peptide analog of a fragment of neurogranin, NG(28-43) (10 μM) is used as a specific substrate for the catalytic subunit of PKC. In all cases, substrate phosphorylation was linear with respect to time and enzyme concentration[2].

Mice[2]
Adult male 129S3/SvImJ mice are used. In the 1×-pairing paradigm of cue and contextual fear conditioning, animals are placed in the fear conditioning apparatus for 3 min, then a 30-sec acoustic conditioned stimulus (CS; white noise, 80 dB) is delivered. During the last second of the CS, a 1-sec shock unconditioned stimulus (US; 0.5 mA) is applied to the grid floor. To assess contextual learning, the animals are returned to the training context 24 hr post-training, and freezing behavior is scored for 5 min. To assess cue learning, the animals are placed in a different context (novel odor, lighting, cage floor, and visual cues) following contextual testing. Baseline behavior is measured for 3 min in the novel context (Pre-CS), then the tone is presented for 3 min. Freezing behavior is assessed with a time sampling procedure whereby the animal was observed for ~1 sec every 5 sec. The experimenter is blind to drug treatment. Animals are injected with either vehicle (2 mL/kg, 100% DMSO) or SL327 (10, 30, and 50 mg/kg; at 2 mL/kg, dissolved in 100% DMSO) intraperitoneally 1 hr before training[2].
