IC50: 1.49 μM (MARK4)
MARK4 inhibitor 4 targets the ATP-binding pocket of microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 4 (MARK4). This compound is a selective MARK4 antagonist with an IC50 of 1.49 microM, designed to inhibit MARK4-mediated phosphorylation of microtubule-associated proteins, thereby modulating microtubule stability and cellular proliferation. |

| ln Vitro |
Compound 23c, or MARK4 inhibitor 4, shows a notable suppression of Hela and U87MG cell growth with EC50 values of 2.16 and 3.51 μM [1]. It is administered at concentrations between 1 and 20 μM for a duration of 24 hours.
MARK4 inhibitor 4 demonstrates notable suppression of cell growth in human cancer cell lines, including HeLa and U87MG cells, with EC50 values of 2.16 microM and 3.51 microM, respectively. It inhibits MARK4 ATPase activity in biochemical assays, with activity confirmed in the micromolar concentration range at doses of 1-20 microM. |
| ln Vivo |
Not available. MARK4 inhibitor 4 has been studied in the context of cancer research and cow head lesions; however, specific in vivo efficacy data, including tumor growth inhibition in xenograft models or pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationships, are not provided in the available literature.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Standard MARK4 inhibition assays involve incubating recombinant MARK4 enzyme (5-50 ng/uL) with the inhibitor (1-20 uM) in kinase assay buffer (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% Triton X-100) containing ATP (10-100 uM) and a peptide substrate (e.g., tau-derived peptide). The reaction is incubated at 30degC for 30-60 minutes, and kinase activity is measured using ADP-Glo or radioactive 33P-ATP incorporation assays. IC50 values are determined by fitting dose-response curves.

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay[1]
Cell Types: Hela, U87MG, U251, MDA-MB-435, HGFs cells Tested Concentrations: 1-20 μM Incubation Duration: 24 h Experimental Results: demonstrated obvious cytotoxicity in Hela and U87MG cell lines. Standard cell viability assays involve seeding HeLa, U87MG, or other cancer cells in 96-well plates, treating with MARK4 inhibitor 4 at concentrations ranging from 0-20 uM for 24 hours, and measuring cell viability using MTT, CCK-8, or CellTiter-Glo assays. EC50 values (2.16 uM for HeLa, 3.51 uM for U87MG) are calculated by fitting dose-response curves. |
| Animal Protocol |
Not available. For in vivo studies of MARK4 inhibitors, standard protocols involve administering the compound (typically 10-50 mg/kg) intraperitoneally or orally daily for 2-4 weeks in tumor-bearing mouse models, monitoring tumor volume and body weight twice weekly, and assessing target engagement and pharmacodynamic markers in tumor tissues at study endpoint.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Not available. As a small-molecule kinase inhibitor, pharmacokinetic properties such as oral bioavailability, plasma half-life, volume of distribution, and metabolic stability would require experimental determination. These data are not available for MARK4 inhibitor 4 in the published literature.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Not available. Kinase inhibitors often exhibit manageable toxicity profiles at therapeutic doses, but specific toxicological data, including maximum tolerated dose, target organ toxicity, or safety margins, are not reported for MARK4 inhibitor 4. Preclinical safety studies have not been described.

Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*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.
