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].

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

*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.
