Product Description

IPA-3 (IPA3; IPA 3) is a novel, potent, selective and non-ATP competitive PAK1 (p21-activated protein kinase 1) inhibitor with potential antitumor activity. It inhibits the growth of liver cancer cells by suppressing PAK1 and NF-κB activation and has IC50 of 2.5 μM, and shows no inhibition to group II PAKs (PAKs 4-6).

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Part of the mechanism by which IPA-3 suppresses Pak1 activation is covalent attachment to Pak1's regulatory domain. Pak1 is covalently bound by IPA-3 in a temperature- and time-dependent manner. Binding of the Pak1 activator Cdc42 is inhibited by IPA-3. Direct binding of IPA-3 occurs with the Pak1 autoregulatory domain. In cells, IPA-3 reversibly prevents PMA-induced membrane ruffling[1]. Human primary Schwann and schwannoma cells exhibit reduced cell spreading in response to IPA-3 (2 μM, 5 μM, or 20 μM). In a dose-dependent manner, IPA-3 therapy dramatically lowers adherent Schwann and schwannoma cell counts[2]. IPA-3 is an allosteric inhibitor of p21-activated kinase 1 (Pak1) that is non-ATP-competitive. The IPA-3 control chemical is PIR3.5. On Thr423, IPA-3 inhibits the autophosphorylation of Pak1 induced by Cdc42. Additionally, sphingosine-dependent Pak1 autophosphorylation is inhibited by IPA-3. IPA-3 does not specifically target Pak1's exposed cysteine residues. The disulfide bond in IPA-3 is essential for the inhibition of Pak1, and Pak1 inhibition by IPA-3 is eliminated in vitro when the reducing agent dithiothreitol (DTT) is reduced. IPA-3 prevents different activators from activating Pak1, but it has no effect on Pak1 that has already been activated. In mouse embryonic fibroblasts, IPA-3 suppresses the activation of Pak in response to PDGF[3].

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • 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

Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
