Product Description

LGK-974 (formerly known as WNT-974; LGK-974 and NVP-LGK974) is a novel potent, orally bioavailable and specific/selective PORCN (Porcupine) inhibitor with potential anticancer activity. It inhibits Wnt signaling with an IC50 of 0.4 nM in TM3 cells. LGK974 binds to and inhibits PORCN in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which blocks post-translational acylation of Wnt ligands and inhibits their secretion. This prevents the activation of Wnt ligands, interferes with Wnt-mediated signaling, and inhibits cell growth in Wnt-driven tumors. LGK-974 is being investigated for the treatment of cancers driven by the Wnt pathway in a Wnt ligand-dependent manner.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
LGK974 efficiently displaces [3H]-GNF-1331 in PORCN radioligand binding assays, with an IC50 of 1 nM. In HN30 cells, LGK974 efficiently lowers Wnt-dependent AXIN2 mRNA levels with an IC50 of 0.3 nM[1].
ln Vivo
The medication LGK974, which targets the Wnt-specific acyltransferase Porcupine. Strongly suppressing Wnt signaling, well-tolerated, and highly effective in rodent tumor models is LGK974. Rats without tumors were used in toxicology tests at doses of 3 and 20 mg/kg. LGK974 was well tolerated at an effective dose of 3 mg/kg per day for 14 days, and no aberrant histopathological abnormalities were observed in tissues that depend on Wnt, such as the stomach, intestines, or skin. Rats given very high dosages (20 mg/kg per day) for 14 days showed loss of intestinal epithelial cells, which is consistent with the idea that Wnt is necessary for intestinal tissue homeostasis [1].
Animal Protocol
Dissolved in 010% (vol/vol) citrate buffer (pH 2.8)/90% (vol/vol) citrate buffer (pH 3.0) or 0.5% MC/0.5% Tween 80; 3 mg/kg; Oral gavage

*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

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
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.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
