Description

LLK203 is a potent USP2/USP8 dual-target inhibitor with IC50s of 0.89 μM and 0.52 μM, respectively. LLK203 leads a degradation of ERα and induces apoptosis of breast cancer MCF-7 cells. LLK203 demonstrates antitumor activities against the 4T1 tumor mice model[1].

IC50 & Target[1]

USP2

0.89 μM (IC50)

USP8

0.52 μM (IC50)

In Vitro

LLK203 (0-100 μM; 36 h) demonstrates high inhibitory activity on MCF-7 cells (IC50=3.4 μM) compared with ML364 (IC50=9.3 μM). LLK203 demonstrates a 4-fold increase in USP2 activity and a 9-fold increase in USP8 activity compared to ML364 (HY-100900)[1].
LLK203 (10-50 μM; 24 h) increases the ratio of apoptotic cells and remaines largely in G1 phas on MCF-7 cells[1].
LLK203 (2-50 μM; 24 h) can degrade various proteins (MDM2, Cyclin D1, Her2, ERα) in a dosedependent manner[1].
LLK203 (2-50 μM; for 7 days) shows a robust ability of inhibiting clone formation at the concentration of 10 μM[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    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (8.90 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

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.
