Product Description

GCN2iB is a novel, potent and ATP-competitive inhibitor, has an IC50 of 2.4 nM for the serine/threonine protein kinase general control nonderepressible 2 (GCN2). Cancer therapy may benefit from the application of GCN2iB. Cancer cells that express asparagine synthetase (ASNS) at low basal levels are more susceptible to the antileukemic agent L-asparaginase (ASNase) both in vitro and in vivo when GCN2 is inhibited.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
GCN2 (IC50 = 2.4 nM)
ln Vitro
GCN2iB demonstrates strong cellular activity and an IC50 value of 2.4 nM for GCN2. Only GCN2 exhibits >99.5% inhibition in a panel of 468 kinases, and three kinases (MAP2K5, STK10, and ZAK) exhibit high kinase selectivity at 1 μM GCN2iB, with >95% inhibition[1].
ln Vivo
GCN2iB or ASNase by themselves do not substantially slow tumor growth in the CCRF-CEM xenograft antitumor activity study. Most remarkably, synergistic effects of ASNase and GCN2iB result in strong antitumor activity (P=0.0002). A synergistic effect of GCN2iB and ASNase is observed in MV-4-11 and SU.86.86 xenografts, respectively, demonstrating strong antitumor activity. Even after the drugs stop working, tumors treated with ASNase/GCN2iB do not grow significantly. ASNase and GCN2iB work in concert to produce a synergistic effect that increases survival when compared to the vehicle-treated control[1].
Animal Protocol
Mice: In 6-week-old female SCID mice, a suspension of CCRF-CEM, HPB-ALL, MV-4-11, or SU.86.86 cells (1×107 cells/site) is subcutaneously injected into the right flanks. Tumor volume is computed as volume = L×l2×1/2, where l is the corresponding perpendicular distance and L is the longest diameter across the tumor. Weight of the body is also measured. Mice with tumor masses less than 200 mm3 are divided into treatment groups (N=5) in order to measure the anti-tumor activity. When an endpoint is reached or the study's conclusion occurs, the tumors are tracked and the mice are put to death. Starting on the day following randomization, mice containing the xenografts are given either intraperitoneally or orally GCN2 inhibitors (e.g., GCN2iB, 10 mpk, twice daily) or ASNase for a duration of 7 to 10 days, respectively. The mean change in tumor volume over the course of treatment in the control and treated groups is compared to determine T/C (%), an index of anti-tumor activity[1].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 15~50 mg/mL (33.2~110.7 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (3.70 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 16.7 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: ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (3.70 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (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 16.7 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

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

5 mM 0.4426 mL 2.2132 mL 4.4264 mL
10 mM 0.2213 mL 1.1066 mL 2.2132 mL

*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.

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
