Product Description
BIX02189 is a novel, potent and selective inhibitor of MEK5 with important biological activity. With an IC50 of 1.5 nM, it inhibits MEK5. It does not inhibit closely related kinases like MEK1, MEK2, ERK2, or JNK2, but it does inhibit ERK5 with an IC50 of 59 nM in cell-free assays. Purified MEK5 enzyme's catalytic activity was said to be inhibited by BIX02189. As a downstream substrate of the MEK5/ERK5 signaling cascade, MEF2C's transcriptional activation was inhibited by BIX02189 in a cellular trans-reporter assay system. To better understand how the MEK5/ERK5 pathway functions in various biological systems, BIX02189 may provide novel pharmacological tools.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
MEK5 (IC50 = 1.5 nM); ERK5 (IC50 = 59 nM)
ln Vitro
BIX02189 blocks MEK5 and ERK5 catalytic activity with IC50 values of 1.5 nM and 59 nM, respectively. With IC50 values of 4.3 nM and 810 nM, respectively, they are more potent than the effect brought on by BIX02188. BIX02189 exhibits inhibitory activity against CSF1R (FMS) with an IC50 of 46 nM but exhibits no activity against related kinases MEK1, MEK2, ERK1, p38α, JNK2, EGFR, and STK16 with IC50 values of >3.7 μM. Pretreatment with BIX02189 inhibits sorbitol-induced ERK5 phosphorylation in HeLa cells in a dose-dependent manner but has no inhibitory effect on ERK1/2, p38, or JNK1/2 MAPK phosphorylation. In HeLa or HEK293 cells, BIX02189 treatment alone for 24 hours had no cytotoxic effects. In HeLa and HEK293 cells, BIX02189 inhibits MEK5/ERK5/MEF2C-driven luciferase expression with IC50 values of 0.53 μM and 0.26 μM, respectively. This has a greater impact than what BIX02188 has to offer. [1] In human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) exposed to 15d-PGJ2, BIX02189 reverses the protective effect brought on by laminar flow (L-flow) by suppressing C-terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein (CHIP)-mediated p53 ubiquitination. [2] In neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) stimulated by isoproterenol, BIX02189 (10 uM) inhibits ERK5 phosphorylation and decreases myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) transcriptional activity. By accelerating sorbitol-induced apoptosis in NRCMs, BIX02189 supports the protective function of ERK5 in cardiomyocytes. [3]
ln Vivo
Mice are treated with either 10 mg/kg of BIX02189 (in 25% DMSO) or vehicle control (same volume of 25% DMSO) by intraperitoneal injection. The nuclear localization of Nrf2 is inhibited in aortic endothelial cells from mice treated with BIX02189.
Enzyme Assay
Utilizing the PKLight ATP Detection Reagent, the MEK5 protein isolated from the baculovirus expression system is used to assess kinase activity. The assay is carried out in the presence of varying concentrations of BIX02189 using 15 nM GST-MEK5 and 0.75 μM ATP in an assay buffer made up of 25 mM Hepes, pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 50 mM KCl, 0.2% BSA, 0.01% CHAPS, 100 μM Na3VO4, 0.5 mM DTT, and 1% DMSO. The kinase reaction mixture is incubated for 90 minutes at room temperature before 10 μL of ATP detection reagent is added. For the purpose of determining the IC50 value, the relative light unit (RLU) signal is measured and converted to percent of control (POC) values.
Cell Assay
Before being stimulated with sorbitol at a final concentration of 0.4 M for 20 minutes at 37 °C, the cells are serum-starved for 20 hours. 1.5 hours go by between the addition of BIX02189 and the sorbitol. At 4 °C for 5 to 10 minutes, the cells are collected and lysed in 50 μL of RIPA buffer containing Halt protease and phosphate inhibitors. The lysates are centrifuged at 14,000 rpm for 10 minutes, and then 50 μL of the lysate is mixed with 50 μ 2× sample buffer and boiled at 95 °C for 4 minutes. A sample of 20 microliters is run on 10% Tris-glycine SDS-PAGE gels before being transferred to nitrocellulose. With the appropriate antibodies, western blotting is carried out.

  • 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
