    In Vitro

    Rabusertib (LY2603618) is a highly effective inhibitor of multiple aspects of Chk1 biology. Rabusertib (LY2603618) is tested against a panel of 51 diverse protein kinases in vitro. With an IC50 of 7 nM for Chk1, Rabusertib (LY2603618) is approximately 100-fold more potent against Chk1 than against any of the other protein kinases evaluated (PDK1, IC50=893 nM, others >1000 nM). Rabusertib (LY2603618) effectively reduced Chk1 autophosphorylation with an EC50 of 430 nM. Inhibition of Chk1 by Rabusertib (LY2603618) also effectively abrogated the G2/M DNA damage checkpoint in cells treated with DNA damaging agents. Treatment of cells with Rabusertib (LY2603618) produced a cellular phenotype similar to that reported for depletion of Chk1 by RNAi. Inhibition of intracellular Chk1 by Rabusertib (LY2603618) results in impaired DNA synthesis, elevated H2A.X phosphorylation indicative of DNA damage and premature entry into mitosis[1]. Treatments of the SK-N-BE(2) cells with variable concentrations of Rabusertib (LY2603618) results in dose-dependent inhibition of cell growth determined by MTT assays with an IC50 of 10.81 µM[1].

    In Vivo

    Mice bearing Calu-6 xenografts are treated with 150 mg/kg (IP) Gemcitabine and a single simultaneous 200 mg/kg oral dose of Rabusertib (LY2603618). 200 mg/kg of Rabusertib (LY2603618) is sufficient to inhibit 85 % of Chk1 autophosphorylation in vivo at 2 h. Rabusertib (LY2603618) effectively reduces Gemcitabine-induced phosphorylation on Tlk serine 695 as well, supporting the cited report with a selective chemical inhibitor of Chk1[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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.73 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 (5.73 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.

      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.

    Cell Assay
    [1]

    Cells are plated at 2.5×103 per well, on 96-well tissue culture plates and incubated for one cell doubling (18-24 h). Gemcitabine dilutions are set up by half-log steps across a final concentration range of 1-1000 nM. Rabusertib (LY2603618) is prepared by dilutions in DMSO to 5000× final concentration, and then diluted 1000-fold into medium to generate 5× stocks for addition to wells. Approximately 24 h after Gemcitabine addition, Rabusertib (LY2603618) is added. Each combination is done in triplicate. After a period of two cell doublings following Rabusertib (LY2603618) addition, MTS/PMS reagent is added to each well according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Absorbance is read on a Spectra Max 250 spectrophotometer at 490 nm and the data analyzed with GraphPad Prism 4.0. Dose-response curves are fit by non-linear regression, with bottom fits constrained to 0 % inhibition[1].

    Animal Administration
    [1]

    Mice[1]
    Female Harlan athymic nude mice (26-28 g) are used for these studies. Tumor growth is initiated by subcutaneous injection of 1×106 Calu-6 cells in a 1:1 mixture of serum-free growth medium and Matrigel in the rear flank of each subject animal. When tumor volumes reach approximately 150 mm3 in size, the animals are randomized by tumor size and body weight, and placed into their respective treatment groups. Each animal receives 2 injections, one of either saline vehicle or 150 mg/kg Gemcitabine administered by intraperitoneal injection in a volume of 200 μL, and the other being the Captisol vehicle or LY2603618 administered orally in a volume of 200 μL.

    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.
