In vivo (Add solvents to the product individually and in order)
Clear solution
5%DMSO 40%PEG300 5%Tween80 50%ddH2O
3.05mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 61 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL of Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify; then continue to add 500 μL of ddH2O to adjust the volume to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
Clear solution
5% DMSO 95% Corn oil
0.25mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 5 mg/ml clear DMSO stock solution to 950 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description SKI II (SphK-I2) is a highly selective and non ATP-competitive sphingosine kinase (SphK) inhibitor with IC50 of 0.5 μM, while exhibiting no inhibitory action on other kinases including PI3K, PKCα and ERK2.
Targets
Sphingosine Kinase [1]
0.5 μM
In vitro

SKI II potently inhibits endogenous SK activities in the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. SKI II demonstrates significantly antiproliferative effects in human cancer cell lines including T-24, MCF-7, MCF-7/VP, NCI/ADR with IC50 of 4.6 μM , 1.2 μM, 0.9 μM and 1.3 μM, respectively. SKI II also induces apoptosis of T24 cells consistent with the hypothesized consequence of reducing S1P levels. [1] As demonstrated previously in MDA-MB-231 cells, SKI II decreases S1P formation in JC cells in a concentration-dependent manner, with IC50 of 12 μM. [2]
In vivo

SKI II (50 mg/kg) after intraperitoneal or oral administration significantly decreases tumor growth a syngeneic Balb/c mouse solid tumor model that uses JC mammary adenocarcinoma cells relative to control groups with no overt toxicity or weight loss.[2] SKI-II (50 mg/kg ip) ameliorates antigen-induced bronchial smooth muscle hyperresponsiveness in mice by endogenously inhibiting generation of S1P.

Protocol (from reference)

Kinase Assay:

[1]
  • SK Assay

    A medium-throughput assay suitable for screening for inhibitors of recombinant human SK has been established. Briefly, 5 μg of purified GST-SK fusion protein are combined with 12 nM sphingosine, which contains a 100-fold dilution of [3-3H]sphingosine (20 Ci/mmol), 1 mM ATP, 1 mM magnesium chloride, and 200 μL of assay buffer [20 mM Tris HCl (pH 7.4), 20% glycerol, 1 mM beta-mercaptoethanol, 1 mM EDTA, 20 mM zinc chloride, 1 mM sodium orthovanadate, 15 mM sodium fluoride, and 0.5 mM 4-deoxypyridoxine]. Assays are run for 30 min at 25°C with shaking and contains either 1% DMSO or 5 g/mL test compound, which corresponds to concentrations of 10–25 μM. The reactions are terminated with 50 μL of concentrated ammonium hydroxide, followed by extraction of the assay mixture with chloroform:methanol (2:1). The aqueous portion is transferred to scintillation vials and radioactivity is quantified as a measure of [3H]]S1P formation using a Beckman LS 3801 Scintillation Counter. The intra-assay coefficient of variation is ~10%, whereas interassay variation is ~20%.
Cell Assay:

[1]
  • Cell lines

    T-24, MCF-7, MCF-7/VP, NCI/ADR cell lines

  • Concentrations

    ~50 μM

  • Incubation Time

    48 hours

  • Method

    T24, MCF-7, MCF-7/VP, and NCI/ADR cells are plated into 96-well tissue culture plates at ~15% confluency. After 24 hours, cells are treated with various concentrations of inhibitors. After an additional 48 hours, cell survival is assayed using the sulforhodamine B assay.
Animal Study:

[2]
  • Animal Models

    JC xenografts are established in mice

  • Dosages

    ~100 mg/kg

  • Administration

    Intraperitoneal administration or oral administration
