AGK2 significantly inhibits cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. AGK2 also significantly inhibits cell growth in a dose-dependent manner without inducing cytotoxicity at low doses. Twelve days after AGK2 (5 μM) treatment, cells show a significantly reducing colony forming ability in soft agar to 46% of the control cells. Western blot analysis shows that the levels of CDK4 or CDK6 and cyclin D1 are decreased after AGK2 treatment in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, AGK2 inhibits the expression of p53 protein[2]. Treatment of microglial BV2 cells with 10 μM AGK2 leads to a significant increase in PAR signals. Treatment of microglial BV2 cells with 10 μM AGK2 also leads to a significant decrease in the intracellular ATP and significant increases in both late-stage apoptosis and necrosis of the cells[3].

AGK2 purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Theranostics. 2021 Feb 25;11(9):4381-4402. [Abstract]
AGK2 (1 mg/kg/day) were injected intraperitoneally. The liver tissues were lysed and then immunoprecipitated by anti-Fndc5 antibody followed by immunoblotting with anti-Acetylated-lysine (anti-Ac) or anti-Ubiquitin to monitor the acetylation or ubiquitination of endogenous Fndc5 in mice treated with NR or NR plus AGK2. AGK2 treatment significantly abolished the decreased acetylation and ubiquitination of Fndc5 by NR.

Protocol
Cells are exposed to different concentrations of AGK2 in 1 mL of 0.3% basal medium agar containing 10% FBS. The cultures are maintained at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 10-15 days, and the cell colonies are scored using an inverted microscope[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Mice are intraperitoneally given either AGK2 (82 mg/kg) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or DMSO alone, and 2 h later subjects to CLP. Survival is monitored for 240 hours. AGK2-treating mice are grouped into (i) DMSO vehicle, and (ii) AGK2, with sham mice (operating but without any treatment) serving as controls. Peritoneal fluid and peripheral blood are examined at 24 and 48 hours for cytokine production[4].
