Product Description

SKI II (also known as SphK-I2; Sphingosine kinase inhibitor II; SK-III) is a potent, highly selective, non-lipid and non-ATP-competitive sphingosine kinase (SphK) inhibitor with potential anticancer activity. It exhibits no inhibitory effects against other closely related kinases like PI3K, PKCα, and ERK2. It inhibits SphK with an IC50 of 0.5 μM. Both in vitro and in vivo, SKI-II suppresses the growth of acute myelogenous leukemia cells. Inhibiting AML cells was more effectively achieved by SKI-II than by the two recognized SphK1 inhibitors, SK1-I and FTY720. Treatment with SKI-II reduced SphK1 activation while simultaneously raising the amount of ceramide precursor sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) in AML cells.

ln Vitro

In vitro activity: SKI II inhibits endogenous SK activities in the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line potently. In human cancer cell lines, such as T-24, MCF-7, MCF-7/VP, and NCI/ADR, SKI II exhibits strong antiproliferative effects with IC50 values of 4.6 μM, 1.2 μM, 0.9 μM, and 1.3 μM, respectively. T24 cells undergo apoptosis when exposed to SKI II, which is in line with the predicted outcome of lower S1P levels.[1] SKI II, with an IC50 of 12 μM, reduces S1P formation in JC cells in a concentration-dependent manner, as previously shown in MDA-MB-231 cells.[2] Furthermore, SKI-II can counteract SGC7901/DDP'sdrugresistance to cisplatin by downregulating P-gp expression and upregulating apoptosis by downregulating SphK1.[3]

ln Vivo
SKI II (50 mg/kg), a syngeneic Balb/c mouse solid tumor model that uses JC mammary adenocarcinoma cells, compared to control groups with no overt toxicity or weight loss, after intraperitoneal or oral administration significantly decreases tumor growth.[2] SKI-II (50 mg/kg ip) endogenously inhibits the generation of S1P, thereby ameliorating antigen-induced bronchial smooth muscle hyperresponsiveness in mice. [4]
Enzyme Assay
It has been possible to screen for recombinant human SK inhibitors using a medium-throughput assay. In a nutshell, 200 μL of assay buffer (20 mM Tris HCl (pH 7.4), 20% glycerol, 1 mM beta-mercaptoethanol, 1 mM EDTA, 20 mM zinc chloride, 1 mM sodium orthovanadate, 15 mM sodium fluoride, and 0.5 mM 4-deoxypyridoxine) is mixed with 5 μg of purified GST-SK fusion protein. Assays are conducted for 30 minutes at 25°C while being shaken. The test compounds used in the assays are either 5 g/mL or 1% DMSO, which translates to concentrations between 10 and 25 μM. The assay mixture is extracted using a 2:1 ratio of chloroform to methanol after the reactions are stopped with 50 μL of concentrated ammonium hydroxide. Radioactivity is measured as a measure of [3H]]S1P formation using a Beckman LS 3801 Scintillation Counter after the aqueous portion is transferred to scintillation vials. Approximately 10% of the variation occurs within an assay, while 20% occurs between assays.
Cell Assay
T24, MCF-7, MCF-7/VP, and NCI/ADR cells are seeded at approximately 15% confluency into 96-well tissue culture plates. Cells are treated with different inhibitor concentrations after a 24-hour period. Using the sulforhodamine B assay, cell survival is measured after a further 48 hours.
Animal Protocol
Dissolved in DMSO (ip), polyethylene glycol 400 (oral); 100 mg/kg; i.p. injection or oral administration
JC xenografts are established in mice

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 27.5 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.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 27.5 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.

*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
