In Vitro

MLN8054 is an ATP-competitive, reversible inhibitor of recombinant Aurora A kinase. MLN8054 is >40-fold more selective for Aurora A compared with the family member Aurora B. MLN8054 selectively inhibits Aurora A over Aurora B in cultured human tumor cells. MLN8054 treatment results in G2/M accumulation and spindle defects and inhibits proliferation in multiple cultured human tumor cells lines. MLN8054 effectively inhibits the growth of cells from diverse tissue origins with IC50 values ranging from 0.11 to 1.43 μM[1]. Treatment of human tumor cells grown in culture with MLN8054 shows a number of morphologic and biochemical changes associated with senescence[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

In the HCT-116 tumor-bearing mice, MLN8054 treatment inhibits tumor growth dose dependently. MLN8054 is generally well tolerated. MLN8054 also inhibits the growth of the PC-3 tumor xenograft in nude mice. MLN8054 Treatment Results in Inhibition of Aurora A, Accumulation of Mitotic Cells, and Apoptosis in vivo[1]. MLN8054 selectively inhibits Aurora A kinase activity when dosed at 30 mg/kg. At this dose in HCT116 tumor tissue, MLN8054 has been shown to inhibit Aurora A autophosphorylation, and induce an increase in the Aurora B substrate, pHisH3[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    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (5.24 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.
  • Protocol 2

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

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.36 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.

Cell Assay
[1]

MLN8054 is added to human tumor cells in 2-fold serial dilutions to achieve final concentrations ranging from 10 to 0.04 mM. MLN8054 at each dilution is added in triplicate with each replicate on a separate plate. Cells treated with DMSO (n=6 wells per plate; 0.2% final concentration) served as the untreated control. The cells are treated with MLN8054 for 96 h at 37°C in a humidified cell culture chamber. Cell viability in each cell line is measured by using the Cell Proliferation ELISA, BrdU colorimetric kit[1].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Administration
[1]

Mice: Nude mice bearing HCT-116 tumors are treated orally once per day for 21 consecutive days with either vehicle control or MLN8054 at doses of 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg. Tumor volumes are measured by using a vernier caliper and calculated[1].

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.
