Product Description

AG-18 (also known as RG-50810, RG-50858, TX 825, Tyrphostin A23 and Tyrphostin AG-18) is a novel and potent EGFR inhibitor with an IC50 and Ki of 35 and 11 μM, respectively. The AP-2 adaptor complex's medium chain subunit interacts with tyrosine motifs in a way that AG-18 disrupts, preventing the transferrin receptor from internalizing.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
EGFR (IC50 = 35 μM); EGFR (Ki = 11 μM)
ln Vitro
AG 18 inhibits EGFR and IR with Ki of 11 μM and 12 mM. In A431 cells, AG 18 inhibits the autophosphorylation of EGFR induced by EGF at an IC50 of 15 μM.[1] GH3 cell proliferation induced by EGF is inhibited by AG 18 (10 μM). Significant inhibition of cell proliferation induced by 10 nM and 1 μM ghrelin is observed with AG 18 (10 μM). In GH3 cells, AG 18 (10 μM) inhibits the rise in ERK 1/2 phosphorylation induced by ghrelin. In primary astrocyte cultures,[2] AG 18 inhibits the volume-sensitive release of [3H]taurine in a dose-dependent manner. AG 18 causes primary astrocytic cultures to release D-[3H]aspartate in a volume-dependent manner in response to swelling.[3] In A549 epithelial cells, TPA-induced stimulation of ICAM-1 expression is inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by AG 18 (300 μM). In A549 epithelial cells, AG 18 (300 μM) also suppresses TPA-stimulated NF-kappaB DNA-protein binding and ICAM-1 promoter activity. In A549 epithelial cells, AG 18 (300 μM) dose-dependently suppresses TNF-alpha-induced NF-kappaB DNA-protein binding and ICAM-1 promoter activity. In A549 epithelial cells, TNF-alpha and TPA both increase IKK activity. AG 18 (100 μM) counteracts these effects.[4] In the carotid artery, AG 18 (10 μM) lowers the maximal contraction to 5-HT and diminishes the potency of 5-HT four times. AG 18 (10 μM) causes the maximum significantly inhibited contraction and shifts contraction induced by KCl twofold.[5]
ln Vivo

Enzyme Assay
EGF (800 nM) is added to WGA-purified A431 cell EGF receptor (0.5 μg/assay) and allowed to activate for 20 minutes at 4 °C. Mg(Ac)2 (60 mM), Tris-Mes buffer, pH 7.6 (50 mM), and [32P]ATP (20 pM, 5 μCi/assay) are added to start the reaction. At 4 °C or 15 °C, the reaction is carried out, and it is finished by adding sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) sample buffer (10% glycerol, pH 6.8, 50 mM Tris, 5% β-mercaptoethanol, and 3% SDS). The samples were run on an 8% SDS polyacrylamide gel (SDS-PAGE), which was made from 30% acrylamide and 0.8% bis-(acrylamide). The additives included pH 8.8, 0.1% SDS, 0.46% ammonium persulfate, 0.375 M Tris, and 0.05% TEMED. Agfa Curix RP2 X-ray film is used to perform autoradiography after the gel has dried. The Cerenkov mode is used to cut and count the pertinent radioactive bands. For an additional ten minutes, the fast phase of autophosphorylation persisted. The first site on the receptor is most likely phosphorylated, as evidenced by the 1/3 of the total autophosphorylation signal that is completed in the first 10 seconds at 15 °C. Therefore, the 10-s interval is selected to be used in the next autophosphorylation experiments.
Cell Assay
In a medium containing 2% charcoal-stripped FCS, different concentrations of ghrelin, desoctanoylated ghrelin, PMA, or EGF, GH3 cells are plated at a density of 5 × 104 cells/well for 72 hours.After that, 2 μCi/well [3H]thymidine is added for an additional 6 hours. For ghrelin stimulation, a time-course of 24, 48, and 72 hours is conducted; of these, 72 hours is chosen for additional research. Additionally, research is done to find out how rat ghrelin or desoctanoyl ghrelin stimulates cell proliferation. It also looks into how U0126, GF109203X, AG 18, wortmannin, and H-89 affect ghrelin-induced MAPK stimulation. Thirty minutes before each treatment, AG 18 at a concentration of 10 μM is added. The Microbeta 1450 bcounter is used to harvest the cells prior to counting them in the presence of scintillation fluid. At least three repetitions are made of each experiment.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • 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)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
