Product Description

AZ 960 (AZ-960) is a novel, potent, selective and ATP competitive JAK2 (janus kinase) inhibitor with potential antitumor activity. It inhibits JAK2 with an IC50 and Ki of<3 nM and 0.45 nM, and displays 3-fold selectivity for JAK2 over JAK3. It shows potent in vitro antiproliferative activity and high in vivo antitumor efficacy. In recent studies, AZ960 demonstrates potential anti-cancer activity against adult T-cell leukemia (ATL), an aggressive malignancy of CD4+ T lymphocytes, by effectively inducing growth arrest and apoptosis in human T-cell lumphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infected T cells.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Jak2 kinase is inhibited by AZ960 at a Ki of 0.45 nM. Z960 has significantly less activity against TYK2, Jak1, and 3. AZ960 has an IC50 of about 0.1 μM and is active against various kinases, including as FAK, TrkA, and Aurora-A. In human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1, HTLV-1-infected T cells (MT-1 and MT-2), AZ960 efficiently induces growth arrest and death while downregulating the phosphorylated versions of Jak2 and Bcl-2 family proteins, including Bcl-2 and Mcl-1[2]. In recently isolated acute myeloid leukemia cells, AZ960 efficiently suppresses clonal proliferation and triggers apoptosis, which is linked to caspase 3 cleavage and downregulation of the anti-apoptotic Bcl-xL protein [1]. The AZ960 Ki for T. The value of TbERK8, or Brucei extracellular signal-regulated kinase 8, is 1.25 μM. With an IC50 of 120 nM, it inhibits TbERK8[3].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 71 mg/mL (200.4 mM)
Water:<1 mg/mL
Ethanol: 3 mg/mL (8.5 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.05 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.05 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

1 mM 2.8220 mL 14.1099 mL 28.2199 mL
5 mM 0.5644 mL 2.8220 mL 5.6440 mL
10 mM 0.2822 mL 1.4110 mL 2.8220 mL

*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
