Product Description

KNK437 (KNK-437; KNK 437; Heat Shock Protein Inhibitor I), a benzylidene lactam analog, is a novel and potent pan-HSP (heat shock proteins) inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity. KNK-437 inhibited the acquisition of thermotolerance and the induction of various HSPs such as HSP105, HSP70, and HSP40 in a dose-dependent manner in COLO 320DM (human colon carcinoma) cells.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In COLO 320DM (human colon cancer) cells, KNK437 suppresses the activation of multiple HSPs, such as HSP105, HSP70, and HSP40. Following the initial heat treatment, COLO 320DM cells' ability to tolerate heat is inhibited by KNK437 (100 μM). In COLO 320DM cells (0-200 μM) and HeLa S3 cells (100, 200 μM), KNK437 exhibits dose-dependent inhibition of thermotolerance [1]. When applied pre- and post-heat, KNK437 (100 μM) inhibits the methylation of H3-Lys4 in HSC4 and KB cells, but has no effect on H3 Lys9 methylation. HSP70 expression is also inhibited by KNK437 [3].
ln Vivo
It is a weak agent, KNK437. Tumor-free CD-1 (ICR) mice regain body weight loss when given KNK437 (62.5-400 mg/kg). In tumors that were heat intolerant, KNK437 (200 mg/kg) did not enhance heat sensitivity or have any anticancer effects. The anticancer effect of fractionated heat treatment at 200 mg/kg at 44°C is synergistically enhanced by KNK437. The administration of KNK437 (200 mg/kg, i.p.) six hours prior to the beginning heating process reduces thermotolerance [2].

*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
