Pd325901

Manufactured by MedChemExpress
Sourced in United States

PD325901 is a potent and selective inhibitor of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase (MEK) 1/2 enzymes. It acts by blocking the activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway, which is involved in cell proliferation and survival.

Cell viability of ovarian cancer cell lines was measured by MTT assay. SKOV3 (2500 cells) and PA‐1 (2300 cells) were seeded into each well of a 96‐well plate with 100 μL medium and incubated. After 48 h from seeding, the medium was removed, and upto 20 μL of Mdivi‐1 (Merck‐Millipore, 338967‐87‐6) or upto 100 nM PD325901 (MedChemExpress, HY‐10254) diluted culture medium was pre‐added. After 1 h, 50 μL of IL‐6 (Cell Signal Technology, Cat# 8904SC) was added to each well and incubated for 24 h. To measure cell viability, 2 mg/mL of 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) (ThermoFisher) dissolved in PBS was added and incubated at 37°C for 3 h and then removed. Subsequently, 100 μL of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was added to a 96‐well plate and incubated on a shaker for 30 min at RT. The absorbance of formazan was recorded at 540 mm using a spectrophotometer (Labsystem, Helsinki, Finland).

Mice were intraperitoneally injected with saline or α-MSH (1 mg/kg), along with vehicle, AKT inhibitor MK-2206 (30 mg/kg; MedChemExpress, Princeton, NJ), or ERK1/2 inhibitor PD325901 (5 mg/kg; MedChemExpress, Princeton, NJ), once a day for a total of 7 days. For radiation protection experiments, mice were exposed to 5.0 or 7.5 Gy total body irradiation. Three or 9 days after irradiation, mice were administered saline or α-MSH (1 mg/kg) once a day for a total of 7 days and then used for further analysis.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
