In Vitro

ML162 (compound 1a) shows nanomolar potencies against two HRAS^G12V expressing cell lines, with IC₅₀ values of 25 nM and 578 nM for HRASG12V-expressing and wild-type BJ fibroblasts, respectively^[1].
ML162 (8 μM; 24 hours) treatment increases the expression of p62 and Nrf2 in chemoresistant HN3R and HN3-rslR cells, inactivates Keap1, and increases expression of the phospho-PERK-ATF4-SESN2 pathway^[2].
ML162 induces the head and neck cancer (HNC) cell death to varying degrees, with parental HN3 cells more sensitive and cisplatin-resistant (HN3R) and acquired RSL3-resistant (HN3-rslR) cells less sensitive^[2].

Stock Solution Working Solution

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 90% Corn Oil

Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.24 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

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.
