Description

IK-595 is a MEK1/MEK2 inhibitor with high affinity (7.39 nM).IK-595 blocks EGF-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation in AsPC-1 cells with IC50 value of 0.1 nM. IK-595 has oral activity and blood-brain barrier penetration. IK-595 can be used for the research of Ras/MAPK pathway-altered cancers[1].

In Vitro

IK-595 (3 nM; 4 h) increases MEK-CRAF interaction in HCT-116 cells and promotes MEK interactions with BRAFV600E, class II, and class III mutants in HT-29, NCI-H1755, and NCI-H1666 cells [1].
IK-595 (25 nM; long-term monitoring) in combination with sotorasib (62.5 nM) maintains cell viability inhibition for over 30 days in NCI-H358 cells[1].
IK-595 (3 nM; 120 h) combined with sotorasib (1000 nM) induces more apoptosis in NCI-H358 cells than other MEK inhibitor combinations. IK-595 (10 nM; 120 h) in combination with RMC-7977 (1 nM) increases apoptosis in NCI-H358 cells[1].
IK-595 (3 nM; long-term monitoring) in combination with sotorasib (250 nM) blocks growth of sotorasib-resistant NCI-H358-R cells. IK-595 inhibits ERK1/2 phosphorylation in sotorasib-resistant NCI-H358-R cells[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.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (7.40 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 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.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (7.40 mM); Suspended solution

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

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.
