YKL-06-061 (YKL06-061) is a novel and potent SIK (salt-inducible kinase) inhibitor (IC50: 6.56 nM/1.77 nM/20.5 nM (SIK1/2/3)) with the potential to be used as a dermatologic drug impacting UV protection and skin cancer risk. It causes a dose-dependent increase in microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) mRNA expression during 3-hour function in normal human melanocytes, UACC62 human melanoma cells, and UACC257 human melanoma cells.

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ~16.67 mg/mL (~31.59 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (2.37 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. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (2.37 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 12.5 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.) |
