Product Description

SKI-178 is a sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) inhibitor (IC50 = 0.1-1.8 μM) which is a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of AML, including multidrug-resistant/recurrent AML subtypes.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Prolonged Bcl-2 phosphorylation is linked to liver cancer cell mortality mediated by SKI-178 (5 μM; 24 hours) [1].
ln Vivo
In the MLL-AF9 model, SKI-178 (20 mg/kg; injected behind the eyelid under isoflurane anesthesia) prevents leukemia from progressing [3].
Cell Assay
Apoptosis analysis [1]
Cell Types: HL-60 cells
Tested Concentrations: 5 μM
Incubation Duration: 24 hour
Experimental Results: JNK activity (expressed as Thr183/Tyr185 phosphorylation) increased in a time-dependent manner, starting as early as 2 hrs (hours) and continuing to increase At least 24 hrs (hours). Cleavage of caspase-7 indicates a concomitant increase in apoptotic cell death. Bcl-2 Ser70 phosphorylation increased with time of SKI-178 treatment, reaching maximum levels at 8 hrs (hours), consistent with the time of caspase-7 activation.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: MLL-AF9 mouse model (leukemia mouse) [3]
Doses: 20 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Retroorbital injection under isoflurane anesthesia; 3 times a week for 1 and 3 weeks
Experimental Results: White blood cells (WBC) counts diminished from an initial level of 104 cells/μL and continued to decrease after 3 weeks of treatment until reaching normal levels (~4 × 103 cells/μL).

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~50 mg/mL (~126.77 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.5 mg/mL (6.34 mM) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication.
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 (6.34 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (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 corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 2.5353 mL 12.6765 mL 25.3530 mL
5 mM 0.5071 mL 2.5353 mL 5.0706 mL
10 mM 0.2535 mL 1.2677 mL 2.5353 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
g/mol

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.

Reconstitution Calculator allows you to calculate the volume of solvent required to reconstitute your vial.

  • Enter the mass of the reagent and the desired reconstitution concentration as well as the correct units
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer appears in the Volume (to add to vial) box
