KU-55933 is a specific inhibitor of ATM kinase with IC50 value of 13 nM [1].
ATM can stimulate Ser473 phosphorylation of Akt and mediate its full activation in response to insulin. As an ATM inhibitor, KU-55933 significantly inhibited the increase of phospho-Akt at Ser473 in MDA-MB-453 and PC-3 cells treated with insulin and IGF-I following serum starvation. In the MTT assay, KU-55933 treatment suppressed cell proliferation by about 50% at concentration of 10 μM in MDA-MB-453 and PC-3 cells. In a panel of cell lines that have varied Akt activities, KU-55933 treatment caused cell proliferation inhibition correlated with the Akt phosphorylation. KU-55933 was also found to induce G1 cell cycle arrest through down-regulating the cyclin D1 level in MDA-MB-453 and PC-3 cells [2].

Cell lines
MCF-7 cells
Preparation method
The solubility of this compound in DMSO is >10 mM. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 °C for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while.Stock solution can be stored below -20°C for several months.
Reaction Conditions
10 μM, 72 hours
Applications
The effect of KU-55933 on viable cell number was measured by counting cells able to exclude Trypan blue. Cell number was significantly reduced by KU-55933. Lactate production was significantly increased in cells treated with KU-55933. Glucose consumption was increased with exposure to KU-55933 treated cells. KU-55933 also decreased ATP levels in MCF-7 cells.
Other notes
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal.
