Ordering Information

Biological Activity

ML281 functions as a potent small-molecule inhibitor of serine/threonine kinase 33 (STK33). Targeting STK33 impairs downstream survival signaling pathways crucial for maintaining viability in oncogenic KRAS-driven malignancies. Consequently, pharmacological inhibition of STK33 displays selective toxicity toward KRAS-dependent cancer cell lines while sparing KRAS-independent cells, offering a targeted therapeutic strategy for KRAS-mutant tumors.

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
