YK-4-279 (3-30 μM; overight) dissociates EWS-FLI1 from RHA in Ewing’s sarcoma family tumor (ESFT) cells[1]. YK-4-279 (3-30 μM; 14 h) nearly eliminates cyclin D1 in TC32 cells[1]. YK-4-279 (3-30 μM; 72 h) potently and specifically inhibits ESFTs[1]. YK-4-279 (50 μM; 6 h) induces substantial apoptosis of ESFT cells[1]. YK-4-279 (0.1-30 μM; 72 h) inhibits the growth of ESFT, prostate, breast and pancreatic cancer cells[2].

Effects of Docetaxel and YK-4-279 alone or in combination on the levels of ETV1, AR, PSA, p-STAT3, survivin, Bcl-2 and p-Akt in LNCaP and PC-3 cells. LNCaP and PC-3 cells are cultured at a density of 1 × 105 cells/mL in 100 mm tissue culture dishes (10 mL/dish) for 24 h. The cells are then treated with Docetaxel (0.5 nM) and YK-4-279(0.5 µM) alone or in combination for 24 h (for analysis of p-Akt, survivin, PSA, p-STAT3 and AR) and 48 h (for analysis of Bcl-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
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.83 mM); Clear solution

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.83 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
