KenPaullone (9-Bromopaullone), a potent CDK1, CDK2 and CDK5 inhibitor, as new enhancer for iTreg cell differentiation. Kenpaullone promotes iTreg cell differentiation through increased and prolonged transcription of foxp3 gene by enhancing TGFβ-Smad3 signaling pathway.

CDK5-p35:0.85μM, ERK2:9 μM, C-Raf:38 μM, CDK2-CyclinE:7.5μM, ERK1:20 μM, GSK-3β:0.23μM, CDK2-CyclinA:0.68μM, CDK1-CyclinB:0.4μM

IC50 determination: Active GST-LRRK2 (1326-2527), GST-LRRK2 [G2019S] (1326-2527), GST-LRRK2 [A2016T] (1326-2527) and GST-LRRK2 [A2016T+G2019S] (1326-2527) enzyme is purified with glutathione sepharose from HEK293 cell lysate 36 h following transient transfection of the appropriate cDNA constructs. Peptide kinase assays, performed in duplicate, are set up in a total volume of 40 μL containing 0.5 μg LRRK2 kinase (which at approximately 10% purity gives a final concentration of 8 nM) in 50 mM Tris/HCl, pH 7.5, 0.1 mM EGTA, 10 mM MgCl2, 20 μM Nictide, 0.1 μM [γ-32P]ATP (~500 cpm/pmol) and the indicated concentrations of inhibitor dissolved in DMSO. After incubation for 15 min at 30 °C, reactions are terminated by spotting 35 μL of the reaction mix onto P81 phosphocellulose paper and immersion in 50 mM phosphoric acid. Samples are washed extensively and the incorporation of [γ-32P]ATP into Nictide is quantified by Cerenkov counting. IC50 values are calculated with GraphPad Prism using non-linear regression analysis.

Ethanol: 1.6 mg/mL (4.89 mM), Heating is recommended.

DMSO: 41.67 mg/mL (127.36 mM), Sonication is recommended.
