Description

YK5 is a potent and selective Hsp70 inhibitor. YK5 selectively and tightly binds to the cytosolic Hsp70s in cancer cells. YK5 has biological activity partly by interfering with the formation of active oncogenic Hsp70/Hsp90/client protein complexes[1].

In Vitro

YK5 shows selectively and tightly binds to the cytosolic Hsp70s[1].
YK5 (0.5, 1, 5 µM; 72 h) degrades the expression of Hsp90/Hsp70-onco-client proteins and also leads to the inhibition of cell proliferation in SKBr3 cells[1].
YK5 (0.5, 1, 5 µM; 24 h) induces the degradation of HER2, Raf-1, Akt kinases, and also induces apoptosis in SKBr3 cells[1].

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

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.78 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 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 (25.0 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.
