Mechanism of Action

Information	Volasertib (BI6727) is a potent, highly specific, ATP-competitive PLK1 inhibitor. It affects PI3K/AKT/mTOR and AURKA-PLK1-FOXM1 signaling pathways by inducing G2/M cell cycle arrest, promoting DNA damage, and downregulating MYC, effectively inhibiting tumor cell proliferation and promoting apoptosis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1:
I wonder how to reconstitute it for in vivo studies?

Answer:
It can be dissolved in 4% DMSO+Corn oil at 2mg/ml for i.p. injection in mice. For oral administration, this compound can be formulated in hydrochloric acid (0.1 N), and diluted with 0.9% NaCl, or suspended in 0.5% Natrosol 250 hydroxyethyl-cellulose as indicated in the publications. We also suggest the vehicle 30% PEG400/0.5% Tween80/5% propylene glycol for a suspension which we tested in house.

Dilution Calculator

Calculate the dilution required to prepare a stock solution. The Selleck dilution calculator is based on the following equation:

Concentration _(start) x Volume _(start) = Concentration _(final) x Volume _(final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2 ( Input Output )

*When preparing stock solutions always use the batch-specific molecular weight of the product found on the vial label and MSDS / COA (available online).
