Description

KY-226 is a potent, selective, orally active and allosteric protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.25 μM, and without PPARγ agonist activity. KY-226 exerts anti-diabetic and anti-obesity effects by enhancing insulin and leptin signaling, respectively. KY-226 also protects neurons from cerebral ischemic injury[1][2].

IC50 & Target

IC50: 0.25 μM (Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B))[2]

In Vitro

In human hepatoma-derived cells (HepG2), KY-226 (0.3-10 μM) increases the phosphorylated insulin receptor (pIR) produced by insulin[1].
KY-226 (1 μM; 24 hours; bEnd.3 cells) treatment rescues lipopolysaccharide-induced reduction of mRNA and protein levels of ZO-1. KY-226 treatment restores phosphorylation of pAkt (T308) and its downstream target forkhead box protein O1 (FoxO1) (S256) in bEnd.3 cells[2].

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: bEnd.3 cells stimulated with LPS
Concentration: 1 μM
Incubation Time: 24 hours
Result: Rescued lipopolysaccharide-induced reduction of mRNA and protein levels of ZO-1.
In Vivo

KY-226 (10-30 mg/kg/day; oral administration; daily; for 4 weeks; male db/db mice) treatment significantly reduces plasma glucose and triglyceride levels as well as hemoglobin A1c values without increasing body weight gain[1].
KY-226 attenuates plasma glucose elevations in the oral glucose tolerance test. KY-226 also increases pIR and phosphorylated Akt in the liver and femoral muscle[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Male db/db mice (8-11 weeks old)[1]
Dosage: 10 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg
Administration: Oral administration; daily; for 4 weeks
Result: Significantly reduced plasma glucose and triglyceride levels as well as hemoglobin A1c values without increasing body weight gain.

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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.32 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.32 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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.
