Description

WRG-28 is a selective, extracellularly acting DDR2 allosteric inhibitor, with an IC50 of 230 nM. WRG-28 inhibits tumor invasion, migration and tumor-supporting effects of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). WRG-28 inhibits metastatic breast tumor cell colonization in the lungs. WRG-28 also shows good activity of relieving rheumatoid arthritis in CAIA model of mice[1][2].

IC50 & Target[1]

DDR2

230 nM (IC50)

In Vitro

WRG-28 (1, 2 μM; 4 h) blunts collagen I-mediated DDR2 tyrosine phosphorylation and (1 μM; 7 h) ERK activation as well as SNAIL1 protein stabilization in HEK293 cells (expressing DDR2) (IC50=286 nM)[1].
WRG-28 (1 μM; 48 h) blunts tumor cell invasion and migration by inhibiting DDR2 in BT549 and 4T1 breast cancer cells[1].
WRG-28 (1 μM; 4 days) inhibits tumor-promoting effects of CAFs[1].
WRG-28 (0.5, 1 μM; 4 h) maintains inhibitory action toward acquired DDR2 mutations that are resistant to TKIs[1].

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: ≥ 1.56 mg/mL (3.80 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.56 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (15.6 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.

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.
