GSK-A1
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
GSK-A1 is a selective type III phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase PI4KA (PI4KIIIα) inhibitor with a pIC50 of 8.5-9.8. GSK-A1 inhibits PtdIns(4,5)P2 resynthesis with an IC50 of about 3 nM. GSK-A1 potently decreases the levels of PtdIns(4)P with a negligible effect on PtdIns(4,5)P2. GSK-A1 has the potential for anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) research.

Quantification of normalized F-actin intensity over time after treatment with DMSO or PI4KIIIɑ inhibitor (GSK-A1) (60 μM; 10 min). Mean (solid line)) ± standard deviation (SD, shading) is shown. For both n = 3 videos from 3 extract preps on 2 experimental days.
Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : ≥ 2 mg/mL (3.48 mM; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
H2O : < 0.1 mg/mL (insoluble)
* "≥" means soluble, but saturation unknown.
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 0.2 mg/mL (0.35 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.2 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (2.0 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
