Biological Activity
| Targets | PLK4 (Ki = 0.16 nM); PLK4 (G95L) (Ki = 68.57 nM); Aurora A (Ki = 171 nM); Aurora B (Ki = 436.76 nM) |
| ln Vitro | Centrinone (LCR-263) inhibits Plk4 to stop centriole assembly.In human and other vertebrate cells, centrinone treatment results in centrosome depletion. |
| Enzyme Assay | The human Plk4 kinase domain with 6xHis tag has been purified and is stored in 20 mM Tris pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, and 1 mM DTT. The contents of the 2X reaction buffer are as follows: 50 mM HEPES pH 8.5, 20 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 0.2 mg/mL BSA, 16 μM ATP, and 200 μM A-A11 substrate. At a pH of 8.0, the final reaction contains 2.5–10 nM of Plk4. DMSO stocks are used to add inhibitors (Centrinone) that vary in dose response. Reactions are permitted to continue at 25°C for 4–16 hours. ADP-Glo reagent is used for detection. Plate readers are used to measure luminosity. |
| Cell Assay | Cells are seeded at 50,000 cells/well in triplicate into 6-well plates for each condition. HeLa cells receive 125 nM Centrinone (LCR-263) addition, while NIH/3T3 cells receive 300 nM. Three wells are harvested for each condition every twenty-four hours. An automated cell counter called the TC10 is used to count cells. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO: ≥ 31 mg/mL (~48.9 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.95 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.95 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
