Product Description
NQDI-1 inhibits apoptosis signal-regulated kinase 1 (ASK1) with Ki of 500 nM and IC50 of 3 μM.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
ASK1 (IC50 = 3 μM)
ln Vitro
The selectivity of NQDI-1 is examined in vitro using four serine/threonine protein kinases (protein kinase CK2, c-Jun N-terminal kinase 3, Rho-associated protein kinase 1, and Aurora A), and three tyrosine protein kinases (FGFR1, hHGFR, and endothelial TEK tyrosine kinase, or Tie2). The outcomes demonstrate that NQDI-1 is a specific ASK1 inhibitor. NQDI-1 inhibits the activity of FGFR1 protein kinase (44% residual activity). With a Ki of 500 nM, NQDI-1 blocks ASK1. When compared to the phosphodonor substrate ATP, NQDI-1's inhibition of ASK1 is competitive[1].
ln Vivo
Following a brain injury, 250 nmol NQDI-1 in DMSO is injected intracerebrally. Western blotting is used to analyze the expression of ASK1 in the hypoxia-ischemia (HI), DMSO, NQDI-1, and sham groups.Results show that NQDI-1 significantly inhibits ASK1 expression in the brain cortex when compared to the HI and DMSO groups. Furthermore, immunofluorescence staining shows that NQDI-1 inhibits ASK1 expression in the cortex of the brain. The current study also identifies the expression of ASK1's downstream targets. When compared to the HI and DMSO groups, NQDI-1 significantly lowers the expression levels of p-JNK, p-c-Jun, p53, and caspase 3. In the group that received NQDI-1 treatment, immunofluorescence also revealed low expression of p-JNK in the cerebral cortex[2].
Enzyme Assay
In vitro kinase assay (γ-32P-ATP method) is used to assess the enzyme activity of human protein kinases ASK1, Aurora A, ROCK1, HGFR, FGFR1, Tie2, JNK3, and CK2. Each reaction mixture contains 6 μL of buffer solution (25 mM MOPS, pH 7.2, 2.5 mM EGTA, 2.5 mM EDTA, 0.5 mM DTT, 0.25 mg/mL BSA, 20 mM β-glycerophosphate), 3 μL of substrate solution (MBP, Long S6 kinase substrate peptide, KKKSPGEYVNIEFG, IGF-IRtide (12-527), TK substrate 2, JNK3tide, or RRRDDDSDDD for each kinase, respectively) (5.0 μg/μL), 0.3 μL of enzyme (protein kinase catalytic subunit, 0.1 μg/μL≈32 mU/μL), and 10.25 μL of H2O. At room temperature, the reaction mixture (19 μL total volume) is swiftly added to 1.5 mL tubes. Stock solutions of inhibitors, like NQDI-1, are made in DMSO with a 1 mM inhibitor concentration. In the reaction, the amount of DMSO is not greater than 3%. After that, each tube receives 1 L of an inhibitor solution in DMSO, which is pipetted into each tube and mixed. A separate ATP solution is made. 0.05 mCi of γ-[P32]ATP is extracted for each sample (specific activity of 100 μCi/M). 100 μM is the combined concentration of labeled and unlabeled ATP. The 150 μM ATP, 30 mM MgCl2, 15 mM MOPS, pH 7.2 ATP solution is added to start the reaction. The reaction lasts 20 minutes at 30 °C. 20 μL of 0.5 M orthophosphoric acid are added to stop the reaction. Following that, the reaction mixture is loaded onto the cellulose phosphate paper 20 mm filter disks. At room temperature, filters are washed three times with 0.075 M orthophosphoric acid, then dried. By using a Tri-Carb 2800-TR liquid scintillation analyzer, dried filters are counted in order to detect products. A positive control is then performed by substituting 1 μL of DMSO for the inhibitor stock solution in the reaction volume[1].

*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.

  • 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)
