KBU2046 is an orally active transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β1) inhibitor. KBU2046 reduces integrin family protein expression, decreases Raf, RIPK1 and ERK phosphorylation to deactivate the ERK signaling pathway, and down-regulates genes linked to TGF-β1 maturation. KBU2046 suppresses tumor cell motility, impedes cancer invasion and metastasis, and inhibits human ESCC growth and metastasis in a murine model. KBU2046 can be used for the researches of triple-negative breast cancer and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

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.

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.
