Description

KIRA6 is an advanced small-molecule IRE1α RNase kinase inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.6 µM[2]. KIRA6 can trigger an apoptotic response[1].

IC50 & Target

IC50: 0.6 µM (IRE1α RNase kinase)[2]

In Vitro

KIRA6 (1nM-100μM) bounds to the cytoplasmic domain of KIT with a Kd value of 10.8 μM[1].
KIRA6 (10-1000 nM; 72 hours) strongly compromises the viability of the KIT-dependent cell line HMC-1.1 at the low nM concentration, in a manner that coincided with KIT blockade[1].
KIRA6 (10-1000 nM; 1 hour) reduces signaling output of KIT, including the phosphorylation of KIT as well as its downstream signaling modules, PSTAT5 and phosphorylated ERK1/2[1].
KIRA6 (1 μM; 0-48 hours) inhibits Ins1 mRNA decay from IRE1α hyperactivation at a dose-dependent manner[2].
KIRA6 (0.1-10μM; 72 hours) dose-dependently reduces 1NM-PP1 potentiation of Ins1 apoptosis during ER stress in a dose-dependent manner[2].

In Vivo

KIRA6 (intraperitoneal injection; 5 mg/kg; 37 days) shows significant amelioration of random glucose levels over several weeks compared to vehicle, both fed ad lib[2].
KIRA6 (intraperitoneal injection; 5 mg/kg; 21 or 18 days postinjections) increases both plasma insulin and C-peptide levels, remains insulin-positive islet areas at high level after stopping injections in the Akita Mouse[2].

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: ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (0.96 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (5.0 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: ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (0.96 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (5.0 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.

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.
