Product Description

AGK2 is a novel, potent, and selective inhibitor of SIRT2 (sirtuin 2, histone deacetylase) with potential anti-inflammatory activity. As a cell-permeable epigenetic modifier, AGK2 inhibits SIRT2 with an IC50 value of 3.5 μM and showed little effects on SIRT1 and 3 at concentrations of over 40 μM. AGK 2 increased the level of acetylated tubulin heterodimers in bovine brain. In primary rat astrocytes, AGK-2 (35 μM) significantly inhibited astrocyte viability and proliferation and also inhibited astrocyte activation induced by beta amyloid 1-42 (Aβ 1-42).

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Cell growth is strongly inhibited by AGK2 in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, in a dose-dependent way, AGK2 strongly suppresses cell growth without causing cytotoxicity at low concentrations. After being treated with AGK2 (5 μM) for 12 days, the cells' ability to form colonies in soft agar decreases significantly, reaching 46% of the control cells. A dose-dependent reduction in CDK4 or CDK6 and cyclin D1 levels is observed following AGK2 treatment, according to Western blot analysis. Furthermore, p53 protein expression is inhibited by AGK2[2]. PAR signals are significantly increased when 10 μM AGK2 is applied to microglial BV2 cells. When microglial BV2 cells are treated with 10 μM AGK2, there is a notable reduction in intracellular ATP and a notable elevation in both late-stage apoptosis and necrosis of the cells [3].
ln Vivo
In comparison to vehicle control, AGK2 significantly lowers mortality and cytokine levels in blood (TNF-α: 298.3±24.6 vs 26.8±2.8 pg/mL, p=0.0034; IL-6: 633.4±82.8 vs 232.6±133.0 pg/mL, p=0.0344) and peritoneal fluid (IL-6: 704.8±67.7 vs 391.4±98.5 pg/mL, p=0.033). Additionally, AGK2 inhibits the generation of IL-6 and TNF-α in cultured splenocytes (IL-6: 73.1±4.2 vs 49.6±3.0 pg/mL; p=0.0051; TNF-α: 68.1 ±6.4 vs 23.9±2.8 pg/mL, p=0.0009)[4].
Animal Protocol
82 mg/kg; i.p.
Mice are intraperitoneally given either AGK2 (82 mg/kg) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or DMSO alone, and 2 h later subjects to CLP. Survival is monitored for 240 hours. AGK2-treating mice are grouped into (i) DMSO vehicle, and (ii) AGK2, with sham mice (operating but without any treatment) serving as controls. Peritoneal fluid and peripheral blood are examined at 24 and 48 hours for cytokine production

*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
