In Vitro

Prexasertib dihydrochloride (LY2606368 dihydrochloride) inhibits MELK (IC50=38 nM), SIK (IC50=42 nM), BRSK2 (IC50=48 nM), ARK5 (IC50=64 nM). LY2606368 requires CDC25A and CDK2 to cause DNA damage[1].
Prexasertib dihydrochloride (33, 100 nM; for 7 hours) results in DNA damage during S-phase in HeLa cells[1].
Prexasertib dihydrochloride (8-250 nM; pre-treated for 15 minutes) inhibits CHK1 autophosphorylation (S296) and CHK2 autophosphorylation (S516) in HT-29 cells[1].
Prexasertib dihydrochloride (4 nM; 24 hours) results in a large shift in cell-cycle populations from G1 and G2-M to S-phase with an accompanied induction of H2AX phosphorylation in U-2 OS cells[1].
Prexasertib dihydrochloride (33 nM; for 12 hours) causes chromosomal fragmentation in HeLa cells. Prexasertib (100 nM; 0.5 to 9 hours) induces replication stress and depletes the pool of available RPA2 for binding to DNA[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: ≥ 0.8 mg/mL (1.83 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.8 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (8.0 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: ≥ 0.8 mg/mL (1.83 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.8 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (8.0 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.

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.
