K-Ras G12D inhibitor KS-58 is the first K-Ras(G12D) selective, bicyclic peptide inhibitor with binding Ki of 22 nM; KS-58 suppressed growth of A427 cells and PANC-1 cells (human pancreas carcinoma, G12D mutant) down to 21.1% and 50.1% at 30 uM. KS-58 showed significantly weaker cell growth suppression activities against A549 (human lung carcinoma, G12S mutant), H1975 (human lung carcinoma, WT), MIA PaCa-2 (human pancreas carcinoma, G12C mutant), and Capan-1 (human pancreas carcinoma, G12V mutant) cells. KS-58 reduced the phosphorylation of ERK down to 26.0% and 57.6% at 30 uM, respectively. Biotin-KS-58 exhibited stronger binding to K-Ras(G12D) than to other Ras proteins; KS-58 enters cells, binds to both forms of intracellular K-Ras(G12D)GDP/GTP, and inhibits K-Ras(G12D)GDP/GTP-effector protein interactions, thus preventing downstream Ras signal pathways, such as ERK, and suppressing cell proliferation. KS-58 exhibits anti-cancer activity when given as an intravenous injection to mice with subcutaneous or orthotropic PANC-1 cell xenografts.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
