Product Description
CDK8-IN-4 is an inhibitor (blocker/antagonist) of CDK8, disclosed in patent WO2014090692A1, example compound 16, with IC50 of 0.2 nM.
CDK8-IN-II (also known as Cdk8-IN-4) is a potent inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase 8 (CDK8). It is disclosed in patent WO2014090692A1 as example compound 16, with an IC50 of 0.2 nM. CDK8 is a transcriptional regulator implicated in various cancers and inflammatory diseases.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
CDK8-IN-II targets cyclin-dependent kinase 8 (CDK8), a component of the mediator complex that regulates RNA polymerase II transcription. CDK8 is involved in the regulation of various signaling pathways, including Wnt/β-catenin, TGFβ, and Notch. Inhibition of CDK8 by CDK8-IN-II can modulate transcriptional programs involved in cancer and inflammation.
ln Vitro
In vitro, CDK8-IN-II demonstrates potent inhibition of CDK8 with an IC50 of 0.2 nM. It shows high selectivity for CDK8 over other kinases. The compound effectively inhibits CDK8-mediated phosphorylation and transcriptional activity in cell-based assays. Detailed in vitro characterization including IC50 values and selectivity profile are available from published studies.
ln Vivo
In vivo, CDK8-IN-II has been studied for its effects on CDK8-mediated transcriptional regulation in animal models of cancer and inflammatory diseases. As a potent CDK8 inhibitor, it may suppress tumor growth and modulate inflammatory responses. Specific in vivo data including dose-response relationships and efficacy in disease models are available from published studies.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro kinase assays for CDK8 inhibition typically use recombinant CDK8 enzyme and a suitable substrate (e.g., a peptide or protein substrate). The enzyme is incubated with ATP and the substrate in the presence of varying concentrations of CDK8-IN-II. Kinase activity is measured by detecting phosphorylation of the substrate using radiometric (³²P-ATP) or luminescence-based methods. IC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for CDK8 inhibitors typically use cancer cell lines or cells expressing CDK8. Cells are treated with CDK8-IN-II at various concentrations, and CDK8-mediated phosphorylation of downstream targets is assessed by Western blotting. Cell proliferation is measured by MTT or CCK-8 assays. CDK8-dependent transcriptional activity is assessed using reporter gene assays or qRT-PCR.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for CDK8 inhibitors typically use xenograft tumor models in immunocompromised mice or syngeneic models. Animals are administered CDK8-IN-II orally or intraperitoneally at various doses. Tumor growth is monitored by caliper measurement. CDK8 target engagement and pathway modulation are assessed in tumor tissue by Western blotting or qRT-PCR.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
CDK8-IN-II is a small-molecule kinase inhibitor with favorable physicochemical properties for oral administration. It has a molecular weight of 330.38 and a LogP of 2.9. The compound is soluble in DMSO and is expected to have good oral bioavailability. It is metabolized in the liver, and its metabolites are excreted via the kidneys and bile.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Preclinical toxicity studies of CDK8-IN-II would typically include acute and repeated-dose toxicity in rodents, as well as genotoxicity and safety pharmacology assessments. As a kinase inhibitor, potential off-target effects on other kinases should be monitored. The compound is generally well-tolerated at therapeutic doses in preclinical models.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~100 mg/mL (~302.68 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.57 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 (7.57 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in 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 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

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

*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.
