    STO-609 purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Nat Aging. 2025 Jun;5(6):1097-1113.  [Abstract]

    Primary WT mouse neurons were treated with exendin-4 with or without STO-609, a CaMKK2 inhibitor. STO-609 significantly attenuated the effect of exendin-4 on AMPK phosphorylation.

    STO-609 purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Nat Metab. 2022 Sep;4(9):1185-1201.  [Abstract]

    Mouse primary hepatocytes were incubated with 13C acetate (1 mM) containing vehicle control (PBS), ORM2 (100 ng ml−1) and STO-609 (5 μM) for 6 h. STO-609 markedly abolished suppression of DNL rate by ORM2 in primary hepatocytes from C57BL/6J healthy mice.

    Description

    STO-609 is a selective and cell-permeable inhibitor of the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase (CaM-KK), with Ki values of 80 and 15 ng/mL for recombinant CaM-KKα and CaM-KKβ, respectively. STO-609 inhibits AMP-activated protein kinase kinase (AMPKK) activity in HeLa cell lysates with an IC50 ~0.02 g/ml.

    IC50 & Target

    Ki: 80 ng/mL (CaM-KKα), 15 ng/mL (CaM-KKβ)[1]

    In Vitro

    STO-609 inhibits the activities of recombinant CaM-KKα and CaM-KKβ isoforms, with Ki values of 80 and 15 ng/mL, respectively, and also inhibits their autophosphorylation activities. STO-609 is highly selective for CaM-KK without any significant effect on the downstream CaM kinases (CaM-KI and -IV), and the IC50 value of the compound against CaM-KII is 10 μg/mL. STO-609 inhibits constitutively active CaM-KKα as well as the wild-type enzyme. In transfected HeLa cells, STO-609 suppresses the Ca2+-induced activation of CaM-KIV in a dose-dependent manner. STO-609 significantly reduces the endogenous activity of CaM-KK in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells at a concentration of 1μg/mL (80% inhibitory rate)[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.

    CaM-KI (2.5 μg/mL), CaM-KII (0.75 μg/mL), CaM-KIV (9 μg/mL), and mLCK (0.6 μg/mL) are incubated with 40 μM syntide-2 or 50 μM mLC peptide (for mLCK) at 30 °C for 5 min in a solution (25 μL) containing 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 10 mM Mg(Ac)2, 1 mM DTT, 50 μM [γ-32P]ATP (4500 cpm/pmol) with various concentrations of STO-609 (0–10 μg/mL)in Me2SO at a final concentration of 4%) in the presence of 1 mM CaCl2, 2 μM CaM. Protein kinase activity is measured by the phosphocellulose filter method. Specific activities of CaM-KI, CaM-KII, CaM-KIV, and mLCK in the absence of STO-609 are calculated[1]. STO-609 is bound in the ATP-binding pocket of the CaMKKβ KD. The inhibition mechanism of STO-609 is ATP-competitive[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.
