PQA-18
Based on 1 Customer Validation
PQA-18 is a unique PAK2 inhibitor (IC50: 10 nM). PQA-18 has immunosuppressing effects. PQA-18 suppresses IL2, IL4, IL6, and TNFα. PQA-18 inhibits the population of a subset of regulatory T cells and the immunoglobulin (Ig) production against T cell-dependent antigens as well as alleviates dermatitis in mice.

PQA-18 (0.1-20 μM, 6-24 h) markedly inhibits ConA (HY-P2149)-induced production of IL2, IL4, IL6 and TNFα in human peripheral lymphocytes (IC50: 450, 650, 580 and 460 nM, respectively) and IL2 production at protein (IC50: 400 nM) and mRNA levels in Jurkat cells[1].
PQA-18 (10 μM) attenuates the phosphorylation of cofilin-1 and histone H4 by inhibiting the corresponding kinases[1].
PQA-18 (0.1 nM-1 μM) inhibits PAK2 kinase activity in a non-competitive and concentration-dependent manner by its autophosphorylation at Ser141(IC50 of 10 nM, Km of 2.1 μM)[1].

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: ≥ 2 mg/mL (4.88 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.0 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)
Solubility: 2 mg/mL (4.88 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic
This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.0 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.
