Description

MTK458 is an orally active brain penetrant PINK1 activator. MTK458 binds to PINK1 and stabilizes an active heterocomplex, thereby increasing mitophagy. MTK458 can be used for research on Parkinson's disease[1].

In Vitro

MTK458 (25 µM) increases PINK1-mediated mitophagy to enhance clearance of intramitochondrial aggregates in Hela cells induced ΔOTC and YFP-Parkin[1].
MTK458 (0.1-25 µM) clears pS129 α-synuclein aggregates (12-250 kDa) in a dose-dependent manner in DIV9 and DIV12[1].
MTK458 (0-13 µM, 10 days) reduces α-synuclein pathology and the mitochondrial stress marker pUb in iPSC neurons[1].

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

In Vivo

MTK458 (50 mg/kg, p.o., daily, 6 months) drives clearance of pathologic α-synuclein in a dose-dependent manner in the stratum of mice injected with α-synuclein preformed fibrils (PFFs)[1].
MTK458 (50 mg/kg, p.o., 6 doses, 5 days) decreases plasma pS65-Ubiquitin (pUb) in wild-type Sprague-Dawley rats[1].

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

Reduced the levels of inflammatory markers (TREM2, IL-6, and CXCL1).
Animal Model: C57BL6J wildtype mice injected with PFF [1]
Dosage: 50 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage (p.o.); 7 days, 3 weeks

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    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.52 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

  • Protocol 2

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

    Solubility: ≥ 2.38 mg/mL (7.16 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.38 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (23.8 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.

Method for preparing in vivo working solution for animal experiments: Take μL DMSO stock solution, add μL . μL , mix evenly, next add μL Tween 80, mix evenly, then add μL Saline.
 If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.
Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist 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.
