Product Description

FRAX486 is a novel and potent p21-activated kinase (PAK) inhibitor (IC50 are 14, 33, 39 and 575 nM for PAK1, PAK2, PAK3 and PAK4 respectively). The hypothesis that a medication therapy that reverses the abnormalities in the spine can also treat neurological and behaviorally bioavailable symptoms is supported by the fact that FRAX486 rescues seizures and behaviorally bioavailable abnormalities like hyperactivity and repetitive movements. All of these phenotypes can be restored with a single administration of FRAX486 in adult Fmr1 KO mice, suggesting that postdiagnostic therapy for adults with FXS may be initiated quickly. In vitro and in vivo, FRAX486 reduces the degeneration of the dendritic spine linked to schizophrenia in late adolescence.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
PAK1 (IC50 = 14 nM); PAK2 (IC50 = 33 nM); PAK3 (IC50 = 39 nM); PAK4 (IC50 = 575 nM)
ln Vitro
FRAX486 causes concentration-dependent (1–10 μM) actin filament degeneration in WPMY-1 cells. Attenuation of the proliferation rate was also observed between 1 and 10 μM FRAX486. In WPMY-1 cells, FRAX486's cytotoxicity is concentration- and time-dependent. FRAX486 had effects on actin organization, survival, and proliferation in WPMY-1 cells as early as 1–5 μM. While only partial inhibition of PAK4 may occur at these concentrations, complete inhibition of PAK1-3 may be anticipated[2].
ln Vivo
FRAX486 is able to penetrate the blood-brain barrier. It can reach the brain as early as 1 hour after administration and stay there for up to 24 hours.Its maximum concentration in the target tissue is reached after 8 hours. FRAX486 levels in the brain stabilize after daily dosing. Instead of just decreasing spine density regardless of genotype or phenotypic presence, FRAX486 specifically rescues the Fmr1 KO abnormality, in which the spine phenotype is present in apical neurons. Moreover, FRAX486 lessens stereotypical movements and hyperactivity, two traits that define the mouse model of fragile X syndrome[3].
Cell Assay
WPMY-1 cells are plated on a coverslip with 16 wells and a density of 50,000/well. Cells are treated with FRAX486 (1, 5, 10 μM), IPA3 (1, 5, 10 μM), or DMSO after a 24-hour period. A further twenty-four hours later, the medium is swapped out for a 10-mM 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) solution in an FCS-free medium that contains solvent or inhibitors. Cells were fixed with 3.7% formaldehyde 20 hours later. Utilizing the "EdU-Click 555" cell proliferation assay, EdU incorporation is studied. The assay measures the amount of EdU incorporated into DNA by using fluorescing 5-carboxytetramethylrhodamine (5-TAMRA) to detect the incorporation. Every nucleus is counterstained using DAPI. Fluorescence microscopy is used to examine cells (emission: 479 nm; excitation: 546 nm).
Animal Protocol
Mice: There are male C57BL/6 mice that are fasted. When it comes to FRAX486, the intravenous (IV) dose is 3 mg/kg with a 1 mg/mL solution in 20% (wt/vol) 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin in water, and the oral (PO) dose is 30 mg/kg with a 3 mg/mL solution in water. In the in vivo trial, FRAX486 is injected intraperitoneally [10 μg/BW (g)] once daily between P35 and P60, resulting in brain concentrations greater than 175 nM.

*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.
