Working concentration: mg/ml;

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
p21 is shown to activate NF-κB–dependent transcription, and Senexin A inhibits p21-stimulated activity of the consensus NF-κB–dependent promoter. This compound has no effect on p21 induction by IPTG, on cell growth with or without p21, or on p21-induced senescent phenotype. It does not affect the inhibition of gene expression by p21 and does not interfere with p21-mediated inhibition of large sets of genes belonging to Gene Ontology (GO) categories of mitosis and DNA replication. This chemical inhibits only p21-induced transcription but not other biological effects of p21. It inhibits CDK8 and CDK19 ATP site binding with Kd50 of 0.83 μM and 0.31 μM, respectively and CDK8 kinase activity with IC50 of 0.28 μM. It inhibits β-catenin–dependent transcription in HCT116 colon carcinoma cells. It does not inhibit ROCK and did not share cortistatin A's strong antiendothelial cell activity[1].
In vivo
The CDK8/19 inhibitor Senexin A reverses chemotherapy-induced paracrine tumor-promoting activities in vivo and does not inhibit reporter cell growth and showed no detectable toxicity in a mouse study[1].
