Product Description

Chk2 Inhibitor II (also known as BML-277) is an ATP-competitive inhibitor of Chk2 (checkpoint kinase 2) with an IC50 of 15 nM. The selectivity towards Chk2 is 1000 times higher than that of Chk1 and Cdk1/B kinases. Human CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells are protected from ionizing radiation-induced apoptosis by BML-277 in a dose-dependent manner. With an observed EC50 of 3−7.6 μM, it can effectively rescue both T-cell populations from radiation-induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. The biochemical measurement of chk2 inhibition is consistent with the concentration of BML-277 needed for radioprotection.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Chk2 (IC50 = 15 nM)
ln Vitro

The CHK2 Inhibitor II was initially found to be a potent, selective small molecule exhibiting radioprotection towards human T cells. It demonstrates 1,000-fold greater selectivity for the CHK2 serine/threonine kinase than for the Cdk1/B and CK1 kinases. While CHK1 phosphorylation is not specifically inhibited by varying doses of CHK2 inhibitor II, CHK2 phosphorylation at Thr68 is at different times specifically inhibited. When CHK2 inhibitor II and ERK inhibitor are used together, treatment causes a significant increase in apoptosis when compared to when either drug is used alone[2].

ln Vivo
No significant weight loss or gross abnormalities were observed in SUDHL6 DLBCL xenograft mice treated intraperitoneally with either vehicle, ERK inhibitor (5 mg kg−1), CHK2 inhibitor II (1 mg kg−1), or both for 20 days. While both 1 mg/kg CHK2 inhibitor II and 5 mg/kg ERK inhibitor modestly inhibit tumor growth, combined treatment with both inhibitors produces a statistically significant suppression of tumor growth[2].
Enzyme Assay
In order to ascertain the activity of chk2 inhibitors, the following conditions must be met: 5 nM recombinant human Chk2, 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 25 μM synthetic peptide substrate (biotin-SGLYRSPSMPENLNRPR), 1 μM ATP, 50 μCi/mL [γ-33P] ATP, and a combination of protease inhibitors. The peptide substrate is bound to streptavidin-conjugated agarose beads by the reaction mixtures after three hours of incubation at 37°C. A 0.1% Tween-20 solution in phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.4) is used to repeatedly wash the agarose beads. The amount of radioactive phosphate bound to the substrate peptide at various concentrations of BML-277 (6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, 100, and 200 nM) is measured by scintillation counting, which is used to determine the enzyme activity. Kinetic experiments involve varying the concentration of ATP while maintaining a constant ratio between unlabeled and [γ-33P] labeled ATP. Samples are kept on ice for additional processing and reactions are halted at various times by adding 50 mM cold ATP[1].
Cell Assay
Purified T-cells are incubated at 100,000 cells per well in BML-277 (102.5 nM, 1 μM, 100.5 μM, 10 μM, and 101.5 μM) or vehicle (DMSO) at different concentrations in 96-well stripwells for one hour in order to assess the radioprotective effect of Chk2 inhibitors. The cells are then placed back into the incubator for an additional 24 hours after being exposed to a dose of 0 or 10 Gy gamma irradiation from a 137Cs source at a dose rate of 3.65 Gy/min. Propidium iodide and Annexin V-FITC are used to stain cells in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Using a FACSCalibur FACS instrument, apoptotic and surviving cells are quantified. The number of survivors from treatment groups less the number of cells surviving in the irradiated control group divided by the number of surviving cells in the untreated control groups is the percentage of recovery used to report data[1].

  • 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)
