Home Apoptosis Bcl-2 antagonist WEHI-539 For research use only.

WEHI-539

WEHI-539 has high affinity (IC50=1.1 nM) and selectivity for BCL-XL and potently kills cells by selectively antagonizing its prosurvival activity. It has more than a 400-fold higher affinity for BCL-XL versus other prosurvival BCL-2 family members.

Biological Activity

Description WEHI-539 has high affinity (IC50=1.1 nM) and selectivity for BCL-XL and potently kills cells by selectively antagonizing its prosurvival activity. It has more than a 400-fold higher affinity for BCL-XL versus other prosurvival BCL-2 family members.
Targets
Bcl-xL [1]
(Cell-free assay)
1.1 nM
In vitro
In vitro WEHI-539 shows good selectivity for BCL-XL. The tight ligand WEHI-539 retains this selectivity (500-fold over BCL-2 and 400-fold over BCL-W, MCL-1 and A1). WEHI-539 kills fibroblasts that lack MCL-1. Thus, WEHI-539 not only binds very tightly to BCL-XL, with IC50 and KD values close to or below 1 nM as well as a slow dissociation rate, but also invokes apoptotic responses that depend on BAX, BAK or both; furthermore, its biological activity is related to its binding profile, as elevated amounts of MCL-1, BCL-2 and BCL-W confer marked resistance, and its ability to destroy platelets is a well-validated marker of on-target BCL-XL inhibition. In addition, WEHI-539 induces a preferentially BAK-dependent apoptotic response in MEFs by selectively inhibiting BCL-XL[1].
Kinase Assay AlphaScreen assay
The assay buffer (stock 50 mM HEPES and 100 mM NaCl, pH 7.5) is prepared fresh daily and adjusted to 5 mM DTT, casein (0.1 mg/mL sodium salt; aliquots stored at -20 °C) and Tween 20 such that the

Method

Wild-type (WT), mcl-1−/−, bcl-2−/− or bcl-x−/− MEFs were treated with 10 μM WEHI-539 or ABT-737 for 1 h and fractionated into mitochondrial-enriched (pellet) and cytosolic (soluble) fractions, which were subjected to SDS-PAGE and immunoblotted with antibody against cytochrome c (anti-cyt c); HSP70 was used as a loading control.

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 ddH2O, 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.
