Product Description

NH125 (NH-125; NH 125) is a potent and selective eEF-2 (eukaryotic elongation factor 2) kinase inhibitor with antibacterial activity against various Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. It inhibits eEF-2 with an IC50 of 60 nM, and showed >125-fold selectivity over PKC, PKA, and CaMKI. NH125 is also a potent histidine kinase inhibitor. When tested with a panel of 10 cancer cell lines (C6, T98-G, U-138 MG, and so forth), NH125 treatment inhibited cell viability with IC50 value ranges from 0.7 to 4.8 μM. NH125 decreased the cellular content of p-eEF-2 without affecting total content eEF-2 and arrested cell in G0-G1 phase in C6 glioma cells. When tested with a panel of human cancer cell lines (glioblastoma, breast cancer, and so on), NH125 sensitized cells at the dose of 0.25 μM which thus reinforced the efficacy of ER stress-inducing drug by inhibiting eEF-2.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
NH125 exhibits relative selectivity over other protein kinases, including protein kinase C (IC50 = 7.5 μM), protein kinase A (IC50 = 80 μM), and calmodulin-dependent kinase II (IC50 > 100 μM). It also inhibits eEF-2 kinase activity (IC50 = 60 nM) in vitro and prevents eEF-2 from being phosphorylated in intact cells. Ten cancer cell lines with IC50s ranging from 0.7 to 4.7 μM are less viable when exposed to NH125. In a glioma cell line, forced overexpression of eEF-2 kinase results in 10-fold resistance to NH125. In conclusion, these results suggest that identification of potent inhibitors of eEF-2 kinase may lead to the development of new types of anticancer drugs[1]. Anticancer effect of NH125 is not mediated through inhibition of eEF2K. Inhibition of cell growth correlates with induction of peEF2[2].
ln Vivo
NH125 reduces blood pressure in SHR and ROS production, induction of inflammatory molecules, and hypertrophy in SHR superior mesenteric artery.

*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
