Product Description

Ulixertinib (formerly also known as BVD-523 and VRT752271) is a novel, potent, orally bioactive, highly selective, ATP-competitive, and reversible ERK1/ERK2 inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity . Its IC50 for inhibiting ERK2 is <0.3 nM. BioMed Valley Discoveries (BVD) is creating ulixertinib to treat myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. Ulixertinib (BVD-523) received an immediate Expanded Access Program (EAP) from the US FDA in September 2020. Myeloma-induced angiogenesis and VEGF secretion by human myeloma cells are inhibited by downregulating ERK protein kinase activity. ERK 1 and 2 are both inhibited by BVD-523 when taken orally, preventing the activation of ERK-mediated signal transduction pathways.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
ERK1 ; ERK2 (IC50 = 0.3 nM)
ln Vitro
Ulixertinib lowers the levels of phosphorylated ERK2 (pERK) and phosphorylation of the downstream kinase RSK (pRSK) in the A375 melanoma cell line, which has the b-RAFV600E mutation, with IC50 values of 4.1/0.14 μM, respectively. Additionally, ulixertinib reduces A375 cell proliferation with an IC50 of 180 nM. [1]
ln Vivo

In the pharmacokinetic study, the sensitivity and specificity of the assay are found to be sufficient for accurately characterizing the plasma pharmacokinetics of Ulixertinib (VRT752271) in Balb/C mice

Enzyme Assay
MEK U911-activated ERK2 protein is expressed and purified in-house. Enzyme and substrate solutions are prepared in assay buffer, which is composed of 50 mM Tris (pH 7.5), 10 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mM EGTA, 10 mM DTT, and 0.01% (v/v) CHAPS. A polypropylene, 384-well plate with test and reference control substances is filled with 10 µL of 1.2 nM ERK2 protein that has been prepared in assay buffer. In order to determine the compound IC50s, the compound plates had previously been dosed with a 12-point range from 100 M down to 0.1 nM, with a total DMSO concentration in the assay of 1%. Following a 20-minute pre-incubation period at room temperature, 10 µL of substrate solution—consisting of 16 µM erktide (IPTTPITTTYFFFK) and 120 µM ATP (measured Km) in assay buffer—is added. The addition of 80 µl of 1% (v/v) formic acid quenches the reaction after it has been allowed to proceed for 20 minutes at room temperature. The RapidFire Mass Spectrometry platform is then used to run the assay plates in order to measure the substrate (unphosphorylated Erktide) and product (phosphorylated Erktide) levels.
Cell Assay
Cell media containing 10% (v/v) foetal calf serum and 1% (v/v) L-glutamine are used to cultivate A375 cells. Cells are harvested, dispensed into black, 384-well Costar plates with a capacity of 40 L cell media and 200 cells per well, and then incubated overnight at 37 °C, 90% relative humidity, and 5% CO2 in a rotating incubator. Using a Labcyte Echo 555 acoustic dispenser, test substances and reference controls are dosed directly into the cell plates' inner 308 wells. To determine compound IC50s, the cells are dosed over a 12 point range from 30 M to 0.03 nM, with a final DMSO concentration in the assay of 0.3%. The cell plates are then kept at 37°C for the following 72 hours. After 30 minutes of incubation at room temperature, cells were fixed and stained by adding 20 µL of 12% formaldehyde to PBS/A (for a final concentration of 4%), along with a 1:2000 dilution of Hoechst 33342. Using a Cellomics ArrayScanTM VTI imaging platform, a cell count is carried out on the stained cell plates. Additionally, a Day 0 cell plate is fixed, stained, and read to produce a baseline cell count for calculating the compound's cytotoxic and anti-proliferative effects.

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
