Biological Activity

Description

Alkannin is a potent and specific inhibitor of tumor-specific pyruvate kinase-M2 (PKM2). Alkannin does not inhibit PKM1 and pyruvate kinase-L (PKL). Alkannin acts as a potential anticancer agent^[1].

In Vitro

Alkannin is a potent and specific inhibitor to PKM2, an enzyme that dictates the last rate-limiting step of glycolysis, which is essential for cancer cells’ proliferation and survival. In the absence of D-fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP), the IC₅₀ of Alkannin is 0.3 μM. In the presence of FBP (125 μM), the IC₅₀ of Alkannin is 0.9 μM, respectively. Alkannin effectively inhibits the cellular glycolytic flux in cancer cells dominantly expressing PKM2^[1].
Alkannin (2.5-20 μM, 1 hour) inhibit the rates of cellular lactate production and glucose consumption^[1].

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

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
