Product Description

NVP-231 is a novel, potent, specific, and reversible CerK inhibitor that competitively inhibits binding of ceramide to CerK with IC50 of 12±2 nM. NVP-231 inhibits phosphorylation of ceramide and is active at low nanomolar concentrations on both purified and cellular CerK. This lowers the levels of endogenous C1P. NVP-231 increased ceramide levels and inhibited cell growth when used in conjunction with another ceramide metabolizing inhibitor, such as tamoxifen. To control ceramide metabolism, NVP-231 is thus a brand-new and promising substance that may shed light on CerK physiological function.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
CerK (IC50 = 12 nM); apoptosis
ln Vitro
NVP-231 causes cancer cells to die, which lowers cell viability and DNA synthesis. Cells treated with NVP-231 exhibited M phase arrest as opposed to G2/M boundary arrest. NVP-231 treatment results in a concentration-dependent up-regulation of cyclin B1 phosphorylation at Ser133 and a decrease of CDK1 phosphorylation at Tyr15 in MCF-7 and NCI-H358 cells. NVP-231 inhibits Wee1 expression in NCI-H358 and MCF-7 cells. Cancer cells treated with NVP-231 exhibit concentration- and time-dependent down-regulation of the CDK4 protein. In synchronized cells, this effect is even more pronounced[2].
Cell Assay
MCF-7 and NCI-H358 cells are plated in a 96-well black plate at a density of 1 × 104 cells per well, and they are then exposed to the indicated concentrations of NVP-231 (in nM) for 48 hours. During the final 4 hours of the treatment, alamarBlueR is added, and fluorescence is measured.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: ≥41 mg/mL (~95.0 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.79 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 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.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.79 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 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.

*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.

  • 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
