Validated by Selleck labs. Should you need adjustments to this formulation, contact our sales team for custom testing.

 5.000mg/ml (9.85mM) Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 100 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify it; then continue to add 500 μL ddH2O to adjust the volume to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
Clear solution
5% DMSO 95% corn oil

Validated by Selleck labs. Should you need adjustments to this formulation, contact our sales team for custom testing.

 0.650mg/ml (1.28mM) Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 13 mg/ml clear DMSO stock solution to 950 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description Defosbarasertib (AZD1152-HQPA, AZD2811, INH-34, Barasertib-HQPA) is a highly selective Aurora B inhibitor with IC50 of 0.37 nM in a cell-free assay, ~3700 fold more selective for Aurora B over Aurora A. Phase 1.
Targets
Aurora B [1]
(Cell-free assay)
0.37 nM
In vitro

Barasertib (AZD1152-HQPA), a highly selective Aurora B inhibitor, causes polyploidy and apoptosis in many cancer cell lines.[1]
In vivo

Barasertib (AZD1152-HQPA) is an aurora B kinase inhibitor, and has efficacy against RB1 / SCLC cell line xenografts, RB1 / SCLC PDXs, and autochthonous Rb1 / neuroendocrine tumors.[1]

Customer Product Validation

Targeting PI3K, a common downstream effector of RTKs, with a selective inhibitor (GDC0941) sensitizes SOX10 knockdown cells to vemurafenib. shRNAs targeting SOX10 were introduced into A375 cells by lentiviral transduction. pLKO.1 empty vector served as a control vector (Ctrl). Cells were seeded in 6-well plates at the same density in the presence or absence of drug(s) at the indicated concentration. Cells were cultured for 2 weeks in the absence of vemurafenib or 4 weeks in the presence of vemurafenib before fixing and staining.

Primary MKPs were treated with the Aurora B inhibitor AZD-1152, and then stimulated with 20 ng/ml TPO for 5 d. Cell morphology was analyzed by Giemsa staining (Bar, 20 祄; red arrows denote mature MKs; n = 6).

<p>: Barasertib inhibits AURKB specifically and triggers mitotic slippage. (a) Barasertib inhibits AURKB without affecting AURKA. Mitotic HeLa cells were obtained by exposure to nocodazole for 16 h followed by mechanical shake off. The cells were incubated with the indicated concentrations of Barasertib for 2 h. Nocodazole and MG132 were included to prevent mitotic exit. Lysates were prepared and analyzed with immunoblotting. Uniform loading was confirmed by immunoblotting for actin. (b) Barasertib induces mitotic slippage. HeLa cells expressing histone H2B-GFP were exposed to buffer or the indicated concentrations of Barasertib. Individual cells were then tracked for 24 h with time- lapse microscopy. Each horizontal bar represents one cell (n ¼ 50). The key is the same as in Figure 1b. (c) Summary of Barasertib-mediated mitotic slippage. Live-cell imaging after Barasertib treatment was described in panel (b). The duration of mitosis (mean±90% confidence interval) and the percentage of cells that underwent mitotic slippage during the imaging period were quantified. (d) Genome reduplication after Barasertib-mediated mitotic slippage. HeLa cells were treated with the indicated concentrations of Barasertib for 36 h. DNA contents were analyzed with flow cytometry. (e) Barasertib induces mitotic slippage and genome reduplication in HCT116. Cells were treated with the indicated concentrations of Barasertib for 24 h. DNA contents were analyzed with flow cytometry. (f) Cytotoxicity induced by Barasertib. HeLa and HCT116 cells were cultured in the presence of the indicated concentrations of Barasertib for 48 h. Proliferation was assayed with WST-1 assay. (g) Barasertib induces genome reduplication and apoptosis. HeLa cells were incubated with 50 n M of Barasertib either in the presence or absence of the caspase inhibitor Z-VAD(OMe)-FMK. The cells were harvested at the indicated time points and analyzed with flow cytometry.</p>
