Product Description

VX-702 is a novel, highly potent, orally bioavailable and selective inhibitor of p38α MAPK with potential anti-inflammatory activity. It has a 14-fold greater potency than p38β to inhibit p38α MAPK. It is one of the orally bioactive, second-generation p38 MAP kinase inhibitors that may be effective in the treatment of cardiovascular, inflammatory, and rheumatoid arthritis conditions. After exposure to 16 °C without agitation for 24 h, VX-702 prevents activation of p38MAPK and decreases in many platelet storage parameters.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
p38α (IC50 = 4 nM-20 nM)
ln Vitro
Pre-incubation of platelets with VX-702 (1 μM) prevents or reduces the activation of p38 (IC50 4 to 20 nM) brought on by platelet agonists like thrombin, SFLLRN, AYPGKF, U46619, and collagen. No matter whether anti-platelet medications are used or not, VX-702 has no impact on the platelet aggregation caused by any of the p38 MAPK agonists. [1] VX-702 dose-dependently reduces the production of IL-6, IL-1β and TNFα (IC50 = 59, 122, and 99 ng/mL, respectively). [2]
ln Vivo
VX-702 has a volume of distribution of 73 L/kg, a half-life of 16 to 20 hours, and a median clearance of 3.75 L/h. For VX-702, which is primarily cleared renally, both AUC and Cmax values are dose proportional. [2] VX-702 has a similar impact to methotrexate (0.1 mg/kg) when administered twice daily at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg. By comparing the percentage inhibition of wrist joint erosion and inflammation score, VX-702 (5 mg/kg twice daily) also has an equivalent impact to prednisolone (10 mg/kg once daily). [3] VX-702 has no impact on ERKs or JNKs while selectively inhibiting the activation of p38 MAPK following ischemia. Compared to the 5 mg/kg and vehicle groups, the 50 mg/kg group's MI/AAR ratio is significantly lower. [4]
Enzyme Assay
For the half-life Platelet activation caused by platelet agonists such as thrombin, SFLLRN, AYPGKF, U46619, and collagen is completely or partially inhibited (IC50 4 to 20 nM) by pre-incubating platelets with VX-702 (1 μM). In the presence or absence of anti-platelet therapies, VX-702 has no impact on the platelet aggregation brought on by any of the p38 MAPK agonists. IL-6, IL-1β and TNFα production are all inhibited by VX-702 in a dose-dependent manner (IC50 values are 59, 122, and 99 ng/mL, respectively).
Cell Assay
VX-702 was administered in the isolated perfused rat kidney (IPRK) model at doses ranging from 100 to 600 ng/mL with linear excretion, and the clearance data were consistent with net reabsorption by the kidney. The renal organic anion and organic cation transport systems were also shown not to use VX-702 as a substrate.

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.

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.

*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.

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
