| Targets |
Hematein is an allosteric casein kinase II inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.74 μM. It inhibits Akt/PKB Ser129 phosphorylation and the Wnt/TCF pathway. By inhibiting casein kinase II, Hematein modulates phosphorylation of downstream targets such as Akt. Its mechanism of action involves allosteric inhibition of casein kinase II, leading to reduced Akt phosphorylation and Wnt/TCF pathway activity, ultimately increasing apoptosis in cancer cells.

| ln Vitro |
In A427 lung cancer cells, hematein (10–100 μM; 14 days) suppresses cell growth[1]. Hematein (50 and 100 μM; 48 hours) causes A427 lung cancer cells to undergo apoptosis[1]. 48 hours) suppresses Akt phosphorylation that is unique to CK2[1].
In vitro, Hematein (10-100 μM; 14 days) suppresses cell growth in A427 lung cancer cells. Hematein (50 and 100 μM; 48 hours) causes A427 lung cancer cells to undergo apoptosis and inhibits CK2-specific Akt phosphorylation. Its in vitro activity is characterized by potent inhibition of casein kinase II, suppression of Akt phosphorylation, and induction of apoptosis in lung cancer cells. |
| ln Vivo |
In A427 lung cancer cell xenografts, hematein (intraperitoneal injections; 50 mg/kg; twice weekly for 6 weeks) suppresses tumor growth[1].
In vivo, Hematein (intraperitoneal injections; 50 mg/kg; twice weekly for 6 weeks) suppresses tumor growth in A427 lung cancer cell xenografts in female athymic BALB/c nude mice. Its in vivo efficacy is attributed to its ability to inhibit casein kinase II, suppress Akt phosphorylation, and induce apoptosis in cancer cells. These findings demonstrate its potential as an anticancer agent in preclinical models. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays for Hematein typically involve measuring the inhibition of casein kinase II activity. The compound is an allosteric casein kinase II inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.74 μM. These assays confirm its mechanism of action as a casein kinase II inhibitor. Its effects on Akt phosphorylation can also be assessed using kinase assays or Western blotting.

Animal/Disease Models: Female athymic BALB/c nude mice (6weeks old) [1]
Doses: 50 mg/kg Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip)injections; twice a week for 6 weeks Experimental Results: Inhibited tumor growth in A427 lung cancer cell xenografts. In vivo animal models for Hematein involve A427 lung cancer cell xenografts in female athymic BALB/c nude mice. Hematein is administered via intraperitoneal injections at 50 mg/kg twice weekly for 6 weeks. Tumor growth inhibition is assessed. These studies provide evidence for its in vivo anticancer efficacy. Doses and administration routes are optimized based on the specific model and experimental endpoints. |

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.33 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 +5% Tween-80 + 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.  (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.
