Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

WZ4003 is a selective inhibitors of the LKB1-tumour-suppressor-activated NUAK kinases. WZ4003 inhibits both NUAK isoforms (IC50 for NUAK1 is 20 nM and for NUAK2 is 100 nM). WZ4003 displays extreme selectivity and do not significantly inhibit the activity of 139 other kinases that were tested including ten AMPK family members. In all cell lines tested, WZ4003 inhibits the phosphorylation of the only well-characterized substrate, MYPT1 (myosin phosphate-targeting subunit 1) that is phosphorylated by NUAK1 at Ser(445).

More Info
Biological target:
WZ4003 is a NUAK kinase inhibitor with IC50 of 20 nM/100 nM for NUAK1 (ARK5)/NUAK2.
In vitro activity:
The structure of WZ4003 is shown in Figure 1(A). It inhibits NUAK1 with an IC50 of 20 nM (Figure 1B) and NUAK2 with an IC50 of 100 nM (Figure 1B). To evaluate the specificity of WZ4003 this study studied the effect that this compound has on the activity of 140 protein kinases, including ten AMPK-related kinase family members most closely related to NUAK1 (Figure 1C and Supplementary Table S1). WZ4003 was remarkably specific and, apart from NUAK1 and NUAK2, did not significantly inhibit ten other AMPK-related kinases or other kinases tested, including LKB1 at a concentration of 1 μM (10-fold higher than the IC50 of inhibition of NUAK1).

Note: There can be variations in solubility for the same chemical from different vendors or different batches from the same vendor. The following factors can affect the solubility of the same chemical: solvent used for crystallization, residual solvent content, polymorphism, salt versus free form, degree of hydration, solvent temperature. Please use the solubility data as a reference only. Warming and sonication will facilitate dissolving. Still have questions? Please contact our Technical Support scientists.
