Product Description

Kira8 (AMG18; Kira-8; AMG-18) is an effective and allosteric inhibitor of rnase attenuator (kira) that inhibits IRE1α kinase and has antifibrotic properties. With an IC50 of 5.9 nM, it allosterically reduces IRE1α RNase activity. It may encourage the reversal of already-existing fibrosis.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
IRE1α (IC50 = 5.9 nM)
ln Vitro
Kira8 effectively suppresses IRE1α RNase activity against XBP1 and Ins2 RNAs and prevents IRE1α oligomerization. Kira8 reverses XBP1 splicing that is stimulated by GNF-2 and more effectively than KIRA6 reduces IRE1α-driven apoptosis in INS-1 cells[1].
ln Vivo
Male Ins2+/Akita mice receive intraperitoneal injections of KIRA8 (50 mg/kg) every day for 35 days. Over the course of several weeks, a notable decrease in hyperglycemia is observed[1].
Kira8 (50 mg/kg, i.p., once daily) treatment for one week significantly reduces islet XBP1 splicing and TXNIP mRNAs while preserving Ins1/Ins2, BiP, and MANF mRNAs in pre-diabetic NODs mice[1].
Animal Protocol
Male Ins2+/Akita mice[1]
50 mg/kg
Injected i.p.; daily; for 35 days

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
Ethanol: 76.9~100 mg/mL (128~166.4 mM)
DMSO: ~65 mg/mL (~108.1 mM)

Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: 4 mg/mL (6.65 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 40.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.31 mg/mL (3.84 mM) (saturation unknown) in 3% ethanol, 7% Tween-80, and 90% normal Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 21.7 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.

*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
