Product Description
MARK-IN-4 is a potent inhibitor of microtubule affinity-regulated kinase (MARK) with IC50 of 1 nM. Inhibiting MARK represents a potential way to block neurofibrillary tangle pathology in AD/Alzheimer's disease.
MARK-IN-4 is a potent small-molecule inhibitor of microtubule affinity regulating kinase (MARK). It has an IC50 of 1 nM. Inhibition of MARK represents a potentially attractive approach for arresting neurofibrillary tangle pathology in Alzheimer's disease. It is a research-grade compound not approved for human therapeutic use.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
MARK (microtubule affinity regulating kinase). MARK-IN-4 is a potent MARK inhibitor with an IC50 of 1 nM. MARK phosphorylates microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) such as tau, regulating microtubule dynamics. Inhibition of MARK has been proposed as a strategy to prevent tau hyperphosphorylation and neurofibrillary tangle formation in Alzheimer's disease.
ln Vitro
MARK-IN-4 demonstrates potent inhibition of MARK with an IC50 of 1 nM in enzymatic assays. This high potency makes it one of the most potent MARK inhibitors described. The compound's activity suggests it could effectively block MARK-mediated tau phosphorylation. Detailed selectivity profiling against other kinases has not been disclosed in publicly available literature.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity of MARK-IN-4 has not been extensively characterized in published literature. The compound is primarily used as an in vitro research tool for studying MARK function. In vivo studies in Alzheimer's disease models would be needed to evaluate its therapeutic potential. Currently, no in vivo efficacy data have been reported in peer-reviewed literature.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays for MARK inhibition are performed using recombinant MARK kinase and a suitable peptide substrate (e.g., tau-derived peptide) in the presence of ATP. MARK-IN-4 is incubated at varying concentrations (typically pM to μM range) with the enzyme and substrate. Phosphorylation is detected by radioactivity (³³P-ATP) or by fluorescence-based methods (e.g., ADP-Glo, Transcreener). IC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves.
Cell Assay
Cells (e.g., neuronal cell lines or primary neurons) are cultured and treated with MARK-IN-4 at concentrations ranging from 1 nM to 10 μM for 24–72 hours. MARK inhibition is assessed by measuring tau phosphorylation at MARK-specific sites by Western blot. Microtubule dynamics are evaluated by tubulin staining and imaging. Cell viability and neuronal health are assessed by standard assays.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for MARK-IN-4 have not been reported in publicly available literature. The compound is primarily used for in vitro research. Future studies in transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (e.g., tauopathy models) would be needed to evaluate in vivo efficacy in preventing neurofibrillary tangle pathology.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for MARK-IN-4 have not been published. The compound has a molecular weight of 421.52 and formula C21H23N7OS. Solubility information is limited. In vivo PK parameters such as half-life, bioavailability, brain penetration, and tissue distribution have not been characterized. For in vivo use, formulation would need to be developed, with particular attention to blood-brain barrier penetration.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicology data for MARK-IN-4 have not been published. The compound is for research use only and not approved for human therapeutic applications. No systematic toxicological evaluation has been performed. Standard safety precautions for handling kinase inhibitors should be observed.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
