    RKI-1447 dihydrochloride purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Med Sci Monit. 2020 Feb 6;26:e919220.  [Abstract]

    The effects of RKI-1447 on glucose tolerance and insulin resistance in a mouse model of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) induced by a high-fat diet. The expression of the insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS1) are shown. The mice were fed with a high-fat diet for 12 weeks. From the ninth week, the mice were treated orally with the ROCK inhibitor RKI-1447 (2 mg/kg to 8 mg/kg) twice weekly for three weeks.

    Apoptosis

     

    In Vitro

    RKI 1447 suppresses phosphorylation of the ROCK substrates MLC-2 and MYPT-1 in human cancer cells, but has no effect on the phosphorylation levels of the AKT, MEK, and S6 kinase at concentrations as high as 10 μM[1].
    RKI 1447 (0.003-10 μM) is potent at inhibiting the phosphorylation of the ROCK substrates MLC-2 and MYPT-1 in human cancer cells[1].
    RKI 1447 exhibits effective anticancer activity in colorectal carcinoma (CRC). RKI 1447 (10-320 μM; 24 hours) drastically suppresses HCT-8 and HCT-116 cell growth[2].
    RKI 1447 (20-80 μM; 24 hours) induces apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner[2].

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

    In Vivo

    RKI 1447 (200 mg/kg; i.p. daily for 14 days) inhibits mammary tumor growth in vivo[1].
    RKI 1447 (100 mg/kg; i.p.; once every 3 days; for 14 days) exerts antitumor activity on CRC in vivo. RKI 1447 does not exert physiological toxicity on the mice[2].

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

    Animal Model: MMTV/neu transgenic mice [FVB/N-Tg (MMTVneu) 202 Mul/J][1]
    Dosage: 200 mg/kg
    Administration: Treated i.p. daily for 14 days
    Result: Tumors from mice treated with vehicle increased in size with an average percent change in tumor volume of 68.3%. In contrast, tumors from mice treated with the RKI-1447 increased in size with an average percent change in tumor volume of only 8.8%. Thus, RKI-1447 inhibited mammary tumor growth by 87%.
    Animal Model: 5-week-old Male BALB/C nude mice[2]
    Dosage: 100 mg/kg
    Administration: Intraperitoneally injected; once every 3 days; for 14 days

    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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.26 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.26 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    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.
