Product Description
K6PC-5, a ceramide analogue, is a sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) activator that causes a transient and rapid increase in intracellular calcium levels. K6PC-5 is used to study skin diseases, neurodegenerative diseases and viral infections involving abnormal keratinocytes.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
K6PC-5 (1-10 μM; 24 hours) dose-dependently raises the levels of loricin and involucrin in normal human emergency response (NHEK) cells. K6PC-5 uses intracellular Ca2+ nutritional signaling to encourage the creation of new cells. Furthermore, c-Jun N-terminated division phosphorylation and p42/44 extracellular signal regulation are stimulated by K6PC-5 [1]. K6PC-5 (1–10 μM; 24 h) stimulates human fibroblasts and causes oscillations in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in these cells [2]. In EA.hy926 cells infected with EBOV, K6PC-5 (10, 25, and 50 μM; 48 hours) dramatically decreased EBOV-induced infection. In cell supernatants, K6PC-5 dramatically lowers viral titers and, in a concentrated way, greatly lowers VP40 levels [3].]
ln Vivo
In an inherently aged hairless mouse (56 weeks old), 1% K6PC-5 was topically administered for 2 weeks. This K6PC-5 therapy greatly enhanced the number of cutaneous fibroblasts and collagen synthesis. Therefore, dermal thickness is also greatly raised in

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~100 mg/mL (~291.12 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.28 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), 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 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.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.28 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), 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.

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
