Description of MK-0731

MK-0731 is a selective, non-competitive and allosteric kinesin spindle protein (KSP) inhibitor with an IC50 of 2.2 nM and a pKa of 7.6. MK-0731 is >20,000 fold selectivity against other kinesins. MK-0731 induces mitotic arrest and induces apoptosis in tumors. MK-0731 provides significant antitumor efficacy.

MK-0731 (0.415-300 nM; 48 h) induces apoptosis in A2780 cells with an EC50 of 2.7 nM[1]. MK-0731 displays little affinity for binding to the hERG channel (IC50=20.5 μM)[1]. MK-0731 has the ability to induce a mitotic block with an IC50 of 19 nM in cells[1].

MK-0731 (40 mg/kg/day; sc; for 11 days) inhibits the growth of KB-v tumors that highly overexpress Pgp, whereas Paclitaxel has no effect[1].MK-0731 (2.5, 5, 10, 20, and 40 mg/kg/day; minipump) exhibits a dose-proportional increase in both exposure and mitotic arrest in tumors in A2780-xenografted mice[1]. MK-0731 (1 mg/kg/day; iv) has a T1/2 of 1 hours, a CL of 66 mL/min•kg, and a Vss of 3 L/kg for rats[1]. Pharmacokinetic Parameters of MK-0731 in 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.
