Description

BMS-5 (LIMKi 3) is a potent LIMK inhibitor with IC50s of 7 nM and 8 nM for LIMK1 and LIMK2, respectively.

IC50 & Target[1]

LIMK1

7 nM (IC50)

LIMK2

8 nM (IC50)

In Vitro

BMS-5 (LIMKi 3) inhibits cofilin-Ser3 phosphorylation in a dose-dependent manner in Nf2ΔEx2 mouse Schwann cells (MSCs) with an IC50 of ~2 µM. BMS-5 (LIMKi 3) reduces Nf2ΔEx2 MSC viability in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 of 3.9 µM, but does not significantly reduce the viability of control Nf2flox2/flox2 MSCs at equivalent BMS-5 concentrations. At 10 µM BMS-5, Nf2ΔEx2 MSC viability is 40% compared to 83% for controls[2].

In Vivo

BMS-5 (LIMKi 3) (20 or 200 μM/side) is bilaterally infused into the hippocampus of rats immediately after contextual fear conditioning training. Rats are tested for memory consolidation 48 h after fear conditioning. Post hoc analysis shows that the group treated with 200 μM BMS-5 express lower freezing levels compared to the 20 μM and vehicle groups (P<0.01)[3].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.82 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.82 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Kinase Assay
[1]

The protein kinase domains of human LIMK1 and LIMK2 are expressed as glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins using the Bac-to-Bac system in Sf9 cells. Compounds 1 to 6 (e.g., BMS-5) are assayed for inhibition of LIMK1 and LIMK2 protein kinase activity by radioactive phosphate incorporation into biotinylated full-length human destrin. Reactions are done with a concentration series of compound in 25 mM HEPES, 100 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 5 mM MnCl2, 1 μM total ATP, 83 μg/mL biotinylated destrin, 167 ng/mL glutathione S-transferase-LIMK1, or 835 ng/mL glutathione S-transferase-LIMK2 in a total volume of 60 μL at room temperature for 30 min (LIMK1) or 60 min (LIMK2). Reactions are terminated by addition of 140 μL of 20% TCA/100 mM sodium pyrophosphate, and the precipitates are harvested onto GF/C unifilter plates. The radioactivity incorporated is determined using a TopCount after addition of 35 μL Microscint scintillation fluid[1].

Cell Assay
[2]

Cell membrane asymmetry is measured. Nf2ΔEx2 MSCs plated in a 6-well format are incubated with 2 µM BMS-5 or DMSO vehicle for 24 hrs. Cell are harvested and assayed. Plasma membrane asymmetry is evaluated with the Violet ratiometric assay by flow cytometry[2].

Animal Administration
[3]

Rats [3]
Male Wistar rats (age 2-3 months, weight 290-350 g) are used. BMS-5 is prepared in a vehicle solution (1% DMSO in sterile isotonic saline). At the time of infusion, a 30-gauge infusion needle is fitted into a guide cannula, with its tip protruding 1.0 mm beyond the guide cannula end and aimed at the pyramidal cell layer of CA1 of the dorsal hippocampus. Avolume of 1 μL of BMS-5 (20 and 200 μM) or vehicle (DMSO 1%) is bilaterally infused in a time of 90 s. The doses of BMS-5 are based on its IC50 value and in vitro studies.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
