Description

MSC2530818 is a potent, selective and orally available CDK8 inhibitor with an IC50 of 2.6 nM for CDK8.

IC50 & Target

CDK8

2.6 nM (IC50)

In Vitro

MSC2530818 binds to CDK8 and CDK19 with similar affinity (4 nM). Potent inhibition of phospho-STAT1SER727, an established biomarker of CDK8 activity, in SW620 human colorectal carcinoma cells is also observed (pSTAT1SER727 IC50=8±2 nM). MSC2530818 demonstrates potent inhibition of WNT-dependent transcription in human cancer cell lines that have constitutively activated WNT signaling. For example, MSC2530818 inhibits the reporter-based luciferase readout in several cell lines bearing activating WNT-pathway mutations; LS174T (β-catenin mutant, IC50=32±7 nM), COLO205 (APC mutant, IC50=9±1 nM) and demonstrates inhibition of WNT3a ligand-dependent reporter readout in PA-1 cells (IC50=52±30 nM). MSC2530818 demonstrates minimal activity in the CEREP panel, and demonstrates minimal hERG inhibition. Furthermore, MSC2530818 is a soluble CDK8 inhibitor with high permeability and low efflux ratio in Caco-2 cells and does not inhibit any cytochrome P450 subtypes[1].

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

In Vivo

Tumor-bearing mice treated with MSC2530818 shows reduction in tumor growth with T/C ratios (based on final tumor weights) of 49% and 57%, respectively. MSC2530818 is generally well tolerated, with no effects on mouse body weight in the qd administration schedule and manageable body weight loss. The human clearance and volume of distribution at steady-state are estimated to be low (0.14 L/h/kg) and small (0.48 L/kg), respectively, resulting in a short predicted terminal half-life (2.4 h). Physiologically based pharmacokinetics simulations suggested that human oral bioavailability may be ≥75% up to dose level of 500 mg daily[1].

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: ≥ 2.75 mg/mL (8.07 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.75 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (27.5 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: 2.75 mg/mL (8.07 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.75 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 (27.5 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.
