Description of GKA50

GKA50 is a potent glucokinase activator (EC50=33 nM at 5 mM glucose). GKA50 stimulates insulin release from mouse islets of Langerhans and MIN6 cells. GKA50 shows significant glucose lowering in high fat fed female rats[1][2].

GKA50 (0.01-100 μM; 24 hours) enhances INS-1 cell proliferation with EC50values ranging from 1 to 2 μM[2].GKA50 (1.2 μM+40 μM glucose; 2-4 days) treatment reduces apoptosis induced by chronic high glucose in INS-1 cells[2].GKA50 activates human glucokinase enzymatic activity with an EC50 of 0.022 μM. GKA50 stimulates insulin secretion in the pancreatic insulinoma cell line, INS-1, with an EC50 of 0.065 μM. GKA50 reduces chronic-high-glucose-induced apoptosis via modulation of glucokinase and apoptotic protein BAD[2]. Cell Proliferation Assay[2] Cell Line: INS-1 cells (starved overnight with 3 μM glucose)

GKA50 (1-30 mg/kg; p.o.) gives significant glucose lowering in an oral glucose tolerance test[1]. Animal Model: High-fat-fed obese female Zucker (fa/fa) rats[1]

Calculation results:

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL saline, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
