Product Description

Ulixertinib (formerly also known as BVD-523 and VRT752271) is an ERK1/ERK2 inhibitor with a novel, potent, orally bioactive, highly selective, ATP-competitive, and reversible mechanism of action and an IC50 of <0.3 nM for ERK2. Human myeloma cells are unable to secrete VEGF, and myeloma-induced angiogenesis is also prevented by downregulating ERK protein kinase activity. By inhibiting both ERK 1 and 2 after oral administration, BVD-523 stops 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 decreases 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. With an IC50 of 180 nM, ulixertinib also prevents A375 cell proliferation.
ln Vivo
In the pharmacokinetic study, it was discovered that the assay's sensitivity and specificity were adequate for accurately describing 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 µM 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
A375 cells are cultured in cell media composed of DMEM, 10% (v/v) Foetal Calf Serum and 1% (v/v) L-Glutamine. Cells are harvested, dispensed into black 384-well Costar plates with 200 cells per well and a total volume of 40 L cell media, 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 directly dosed into the inner 308 wells of the cell plates. With a total DMSO concentration in the assay of 0.3%, the cells are dosed over a 12 point range from 30 M down to 0.03 nM in order to determine the compound IC50s. Following that, the cell plates are incubated for 72 hours at 37°C. In order to fix and stain the cells, 20 µL of 12% formaldehyde was added to PBS/A (4% final concentration) along with a 1:2000 dilution of Hoechst 33342. The cells were then incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature before being washed with PBS/A. A Cellomics ArrayScanTM VTI imaging platform is used to count the cells on the stained cell plates. Additionally, a Day 0 cell plate is fixed, stained, and read to produce a baseline cell count for assessing both the anti-proliferative and cytotoxic effects of the compound.

*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 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
