Product Description

GW441756 (GW-441756) is a novel, potent and selective inhibitor of TrkA (Tropomyosin-related kinase A) with potential anticancer activity. It exhibits no or minimal activity against c-Raf1 and CDK2, and its IC50 for inhibiting TrkA is 2 nM. TrkA kinase activity is involved in numerous biological processes, such as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis, and it can influence downstream signaling. In the human muscle sarcoma cancer cell line HTB114, GW 441756 demonstrates strong anti-proliferative activity. Treatment with GW 441756 dose-dependently inhibited proliferation and triggered apoptosis. In Ewing sarcoma, Trk inhibition decreases cell proliferation and increases the effects of chemotherapy drugs.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
TrkA (IC50 = 2 nM)
ln Vitro

GW441756 can specifically prevent TrkA-induced cell death in a dose-dependent manner. In TrkA-overexpressing cells, GW441756 can prevent γH2AX production and apoptosis mediated by TrkA. [3]

ln Vivo

Enzyme Assay
GW 441756 is a particular inhibitor of Tropomyosin-related kinase A (TrkA) with an IC50 value of 2 nM; it has minimal effect on CDK2 and c-Raf1. 2 nM is the IC50 value.
Cell Assay
GW441756 specifically and in a dose-dependent manner inhibited TrkA-induced cell death; however, no effect was observed in uninduced cells. In the lack of a DNA damage inducer, K-252a and GW441756 significantly reduced TrkA's capacity to induce the production of γH2AX. Furthermore, K-252a suppressed it during doxorubicin treatment-induced DNA damage, but GW441756 did not.
Animal Protocol

*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.

Calculator

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
