Product Description

GF109203X (also known as GF109203-X; bisindolylmaleimide; GO-6850; GF-109203 X; BIMI; GF-109203X) is a novel, potent, highly selective, cell-permeable, and reversible PKC (protein kinase C) inhibitor with potential antitumor activity. It inhibits PKCα, PKCβI, PKCβII, and PKCγ with IC50s of 20 nM, 17 nM, 16 nM, and 20 nM in cell-free assays, respectively. GF109203X showed > 3000-fold selectivity for PKC over EGFR, PDGFR and insulin receptor. GF-109203X inhibited GSK-3 in vitro, when assayed either in cell lysates IC50 360 nM or in GSK-3beta immunoprecipitates IC50 170 nM derived from rat epididymal adipocytes.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
P47 phosphorylation caused by α-thrombin is inhibited by bisindolylmaleimide I (5 μM) [1]. In Swiss 3T3 cells at rest, bisindolylmaleimide I (0–1 μM) suppresses DNA synthesis [1]. In adipocyte lysates, bisindolylmaleimide I (5 μM) lowers GSK-3 activity to 25.1±4.3%[3]. PC3 cells are unable to release exosomes or microvesicles (EMV) when exposed to bisindolylmaleimide I (10 μM) during a 24-hour period [4]. Bisindolylmaleimide I (10 μM, 24 hours) increases 5-fluorouracil's cytotoxicity [4].
ln Vivo
In mice in the mechanically ventilated (MV) group, increased levels of NLRP3, P-PKCɑ, and PKCɑ are reduced by intraperitoneal injection of bisindolylmaleimide I (0.02 mg/kg) [5]. Bisindolylmaleimide I (0–20 mg/kg, i.p.) lowers the average frequency of shrew vomiting caused by quinpirole [6].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Quinpirole-treated shrews[2]
Doses: 0-20 mg/kg
Route of Administration: ip
Experimental Results: decreased the mean frequency of Quinpirole-induced vomiting. Blocked Quinpirole-mediated ERK1/2 phosphorylation in shrew brainstems.

*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

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.

Working concentration mg/mL;

Method for preparing DMSO stock solution mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO (stock solution concentration mg/mL). Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation:Take μL DMSO stock solution, next add μL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O,mix and clarify.

(1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
