Product Description

APS-2-79 (APS-279) is a potent antagonist of MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) with antitumor activity. It influences KSR-dependent MAPK signaling by inhibiting RAF heterodimerization and the conformational alterations necessary for phosphorylating and activating KSR-bound MEK. KSR-induced phosphorylation of MEK and ERK was found to be suppressed by APS-2-79. The direct targeting of KSR as an active site mutant by APS-2-79, which has been shown to stimulate KSR-based MAPK outputs independently of ATP-binding, was necessary for the MAPK signaling suppression that APS-2-79 caused. This direct targeting of KSR could significantly reduce the activity of APS-2-79. Additionally, the addition of APS-2-79 significantly decreased the RAF-caused KSR-stimulated MEK phosphorylation. APS-2-79 may be used as a treatment option for Ras-driven cancers and has the potential to enhance the effectiveness of current MAPK inhibitors.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
MEK1; KSR2 (IC50 = 120 nM)
ln Vitro
APS-2-79 (5 μM) suppresses KSR-stimulated MEK and ERK phosphorylation in 293H cells[1].
APS-2-79 (1 μM) enhances the clinical MEK inhibitor trametinib's effectiveness in cancer cell lines with K-Ras mutations.[1]
ln Vivo

Enzyme Assay
APS-2-79 acts as an antagonist of RAF-mediated MEKphosphorylation and a kinase suppressor of Ras (KSR)-dependent. With an IC50 for KSR2 of 120±23 nM, APS-2–79 binds specifically to KSR2 within the KSR2-MEK1 complex.
Cell Assay
In 96-well plates, cell viability assays are carried out. In order to achieve linear growth over the course of the assays, the optimal cell densities for 96-well plate assays are identified. A549, HCT-116, A375, SK-MEL-239, COLO-205, LOVO, SK-MEL-2, CALU-6, MEWO, SW620, and SW1417 cells are plated at 500 cells per well and treated for 72 hours with inhibitors (e.g., APS-2-79; 100-3,000 nM) before viability measurements are taken. 2000 H2087 and HEPG2 cells are plated in wells, and they are then exposed to inhibitors (such as APS-2-79; 100–3,000 nM) for 72 hours. Resazurin is used to measure cell viability, and the percent of viable cells is calculated by comparing inhibitor-treated samples to DMSO controls[1].

  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
