Product Description

MK-0731 (MK0731; MK 0731) is a potent kinesin spindle protein (KSP) inhibitor with potential anticancer activity. MK0731's suppression of kinesin spindle protein (KSP) can cause apoptosis in tumor cells overexpressing KSP, cell cycle arrest during the mitotic phase, and inhibition of mitotic spindle assembly.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
KSP (IC50 = 2.2 nM)
ln Vitro
MK-0731 binds to A2780 cell fluorescence with an EC50 of 2.7 nM (0.415-300 nM; 48 hours) [1]. MK-0731 exhibits a low affinity (IC50=20.5 μM) towards hERG channels.
ln Vivo
MK-0731 (40 mg/kg/day; subcutaneous injection; for 11 days) has no effect on paclitaxel, however KB-v tumors that overexpress Pgp are inhibited in their growth [1]. A2780 xenografts treated with MK-0731 (2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40 mg/kg/day; minipump) show dose-proportional increases in tumor exposure and mitotic fragmentation [1]. Adsorption T1/2 of MK-0731 (1 mg/kg/day; intravenous catheter) is 1 hour, CL is 66 mL/min·kg, and Vss is 3 L/kg [1]. MK-0731's pharmacokinetic parameters [1]. Injection of rat intravenously (1 mg/kg) IV injection for dogs (0.4 mg/kg) Intravenous injection of rhesus monkey (0.4 mg/kg) T1/2 (hour) CL (mL/min/kg) = 1 2 1 66.7 15.1 23.1 L/kg Vss 3.0 1.6 2.3
Cell Assay
Apoptosis analysis [1]
Cell Types: A2780 Cell

Note: Please be aware that the above formulations are for reference only. InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 2.1763 mL 10.8814 mL 21.7628 mL
5 mM 0.4353 mL 2.1763 mL 4.3526 mL
10 mM 0.2176 mL 1.0881 mL 2.1763 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
