In Vitro

MK-2461 (0.61-10000 nM; 2 h) inhibits the phosphorylation of the juxtamembrane domain (Y1003) and the COOH-terminal docking site (Y1349/Y1365) of c-Met and phosphorylation of AKT (S473) and ERK1/2 (T202/Y204)[1].
MK-2461 is substantially more potent against the autophosphorylation of Y1349 (IC50 of ~100 nM) and Y1365 (IC50 of ~26 nM) in the COOH-terminal docking site than the autophosphorylation of the activation loop (IC50 of ~900 nM)[1].
MK-2461 potently inhibits the phosphorylation of three nonactivation loop tyrosine residues of c-Met, Y1003 in the juxtamembrane domain and Y1349 and Y1365 in the COOH-terminal docking site (IC50 of ~50 nM). MK-2461 also inhibits the phosphorylation of AKT (S473) and ERK1/2 (T202/Y204). In contrast, MK-2461 has little effect on c-Met activation loop (Y1234/Y1235) phosphorylation[1].
In the presence of 50 μM ATP (HY-B2176), MK-2461 is equally or more potent against the five mutants (Y1230C, Y1230H, Y1235D, M1250T, and N1100Y) (mean IC50 ranging from 0.4 to 1.5 nM) compared with the wild-type c-Met (mean IC50 = 2.5 nM)[1].
MK-2461 potently inhibits phosphorylation of the activation loop of FGFR2 (Y653/Y654) and PDGFR-α (Y849) in KATO III cells with IC50 <300 nM[1].
MK-2461 inhibits HGF-induced mitogenesis of 4MBr-5 monkey lung epithelial cells and HPAF II cells with IC50s of 204 nM and 416 nM, respectively[1].
MK-2461 potently inhibits IL-3-independent growth of 32D/Tpr-Met and 32D/Tpr-Met (Y362C) cells (IC50 of ~100 nM)[1].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
