KN-62 CaMK inhibitor

Cat.No.S7422

KN-62 is a potent and specific inhibitor of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) with Ki of 0.9 μM; also a non-competitive antagonist of the purinergic receptor P2RX7 (IC50 = 15 nM). It is selective for CaMKII relative to PKA, PKC and MLCK, but inhibits CaMKI and CaMKIV equally well, The Ki value of this compound for CaMK V is 0.8 μM.

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

In vitro
KN-62 suppresses the A23187-induced autophosphorylation of Ca2+/CaM kinase in PC12 D cells. [1] This compound (10 μM) inhibits carbachol and potassium-stimulated insulin secretion from rat pancreatic islets. [2] It also inhibits growth of K562 cells and blocks cell cycle progression. [3]
Kinase Assay
Kinase assay
Total kinase activity of CaMKII, determined in a standard 2 min assay (100 μL), contained 35 mM HEPES, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CaCl2, 10 μg of chicken gizzard myosin 20-kD light chain, 0.1 μM calmodulin, and 10 μM [γ-33]ATP at 30 °C. The kinase reaction is halted by adding 1 mL of 10% trichloroacetic acid.
In vivo
KN-62 inhibits seizure-induced expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor mRNA in adult rat brain. [4]
