Description

WB518 is a potent STAT3 inhibitor. WB518 effectively inhibits STAT3 activation and Keratin 17 expression. WB518 effectively alleviates imiquimod (HY-B0180) and TPA (HY-18739)-induced animal psoriasis by inhibiting STAT3 phosphorylation and Keratin 17[1].

IC50 & Target

STAT3

 

p-STAT3

 

In Vitro

WB518 (5-25 μM) significantly reduces the mRNA and protein levels of Keratin 17 (K17) in HaCaT cells by inhibiting the phosphorylation of STAT3 Tyr705 (Y705)[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: HaCaT cells
Concentration: 0, 5, 25 μM
Incubation Time: 12 h
Result: Decreased K17 mRNA levels following stimulation with IL-22 (100 ng/ml) or IL-17A (300 U/ml) compared to untreated cells. Concentration-dependently down-regulated K17 protein expression by inhibiting STAT3 activation, without affecting the ERK or STAT1 pathway.
In Vivo

WB518 (17.5 μg and 35 μg per site, External application, daily, for 5 days) ameliorates TPA (HY-18739)-induced psoriasis-like skin inflammation, anss significantly improves the phenotypic characteristics of mouse psoriasis models[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Female C57BL/6 mice (6–8 weeks old)[1]
Dosage: 17.5 μg and 35 μg per site
Administration: External application, daily, for 5 days
Result: WB518 (35 μg) exhibited significantly reduced epidermal hyperplasia and dermal infiltration of inflammatory cells compared to mice treated with TPA alone.

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

    Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (9.65 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (9.65 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

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.
