Product Description

K145 is a novel and selective SphK2 (sphingosine kinase-2) inhibitor (IC50 = 4.30 μM) with antitumor activity. It shows no inhibition on SphK1 at concentrations up to 10 μM. As a selective sphingosine kinase-2 (SphK2) inhibitor, K145 has anticancer activity and inhibited the activity of SphK2 in a dose-dependent manner. Biochemical assay results indicate that K145 is a selective SphK2 inhibitor. Molecular modeling studies also support this notion. In vitro studies using human leukemia U937 cells demonstrated that K145 accumulates in U937 cells, suppresses the S1P level, and inhibits SphK2. K145 also exhibited inhibitory effects on the growth of U937 cells as well as apoptotic effects in U937 cells, and that these effects may be through the inhibition of down-stream ERK and Akt signaling pathways. K145 also significantly inhibited the growth of U937 tumors in nude mice by both intraperitoneal and oral administration, thus demonstrating its in vivo efficacy as a potential lead anticancer agent. The antitumor activity of K145 was also confirmed in a syngeneic mouse model by implanting murine breast cancer JC cells in BALB/c mice. Collectively, these results strongly encourage further optimization of K145 as a novel lead compound for development of more potent and selective SphK2 inhibitors.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
U937 cells treated with K145 (0-10 µM; 24-72 hours) exhibit considerable, concentration-dependent growth inhibition [1]. U937 cells treated with K145 (10 µM) for 24 hours showed a considerable increase in apoptosis [1]. Treatment with K145 (4-8 µM; 3 hours; U937 cells) decreases phosphorylation of ERK and Akt [1]. Treatment with K145 (10 µM) reduced total cellular S1P but did not significantly alter ceramide levels [1].
ln Vivo
The treatment of BALB/c-nu mice with K145 (50 mg/kg; oral gavage; daily; for 15 days) dramatically slowed the growth of U937 tumors in nude mice [1].

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)
