DKM 2-93 daily treatment significantly impairs tumor growth of PaCa2 cells in vivo in tumor xenograft studies in immune-deficient mice without causing any weight loss or overt toxicity[1].
In Vitro
Ubiquitin-like modifier activating enzyme 5 (UBA5) is a novel pancreatic cancer therapeutic target. DKM 2-93 impairs pancreatic cancer cell survival through covalently modifying the catalytic cysteine of UBA5, thereby inhibiting its activity as a protein that activates the ubiquitin-like protein UFM1 to UFMylate proteins. DKM 2-93 inhibits PaCa2 and Panc1 cells survival with IC50s of 90 and 30 μM, respectively[1].
Kinase Assay
Cell Assay
PaCa2 and Panc1 cells are treated with 0-1000 μM DKM 2-93 for 48 hours. Cell viability is assessed by Hoescht stain[1].
Animal Administration
Mice: Mice are subcutaneously injected with PaCa2 cells to initiate the tumor xenograft study and treatments of mice are initiated with vehicle or DKM 2-93 (50 mg/kg ip, once per day) three days after injection of cancer cells[1].
