Biological Activity
| Targets | ALK (IC50 = 12 nM); Ack1 (IC50 = 4 nM) |
| ln Vitro | With IC50 values of 12, 75, 4, 17, 17, and 17, respectively, KRCA-0008 (0-1000 μM) demonstrated effectiveness against ALK (wt), ALK L1196 M, ALK C1156Y, ALK F1174L, ALK R1275Q, and insulin receptor. More efficiently than crizotinib, KRCA-0008 (0-1000 nM; 4 hours) suppresses ALK-dependent signaling regulation [2]. At 210 nM, KRCA-0008 (0-1000 nM; 72 h) stimulates cells [1]. KRCA-0008 has a 48-hour half-life (0–100 nM) [2]. |
| ln Vivo | The ALK-positive Karpas-299 xenograft model is inhibited in its development by KRCA-0008 (25 and 50 mg/kg; lateral, twice daily, intermittent) [2]. |
| Cell Assay |
Cell proliferation analysis [1] Cell Types: H3122 and H1993 cell lines Tested Concentrations: 200 nM Incubation Duration: 6 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Inhibited cell proliferation of H3122 and H1993 cells with IC50 of 0.08 and 3.6 nM respectively. Cell proliferation assay[2] Cell Types: NPM-ALK positive ALCL cell line (Karpas-299 and SU-DHL-1) and U937 NPM ALK negative lymphoma cell line Tested Concentrations: 200 nM Incubation Duration: 72 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Proliferation was inhibited The GI50 of Karpas-299, SU-DHL-1 and U937 cells are 12 nM, 3 nM and 3.5 μM respectively. Western Blot Analysis[2] Cell Types: Karpas-299 and SU-DHL-1 Cell Lines Tested Concentrations: 0, 10, 100 and 1000 nM Incubation Duration: 4 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Complete inhibition of phosphorylation of ALK and its effectors at dose 100 nM in NPM-ALK-positive ALCL cells. Apoptosis analysis[2] Cell Types: SU-DHL-1 Cell line Tested Concentrations: 0-1 μM Incubation Duration: 72 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: cspase-3/7 activity increased in a dose-dependent manner and induced apoptosis.

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO: ~230 mg/mL (~377.6 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 5.75 mg/mL (9.44 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in 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 57.5 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 5.75 mg/mL (9.44 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 57.5 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (2.05 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 12.5 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.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
