SCH 900776 is a potent and selective inhibitor of cell cycle checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1), Chk2 and Cdk3 with IC50 value of 3 nM, 1.5 blocked accumulation of the Chk1 pS296 autophosphorylation in a dose-dependent manner. Treatment of proliferating WS1 cells with SCH 900776 was found to be associated with rapid, dose-dependent accumulation of Chk1 pS345, indicating that cycling populations of normal cells induce Chk1 pS345 in response to the inhibition of SCH 900776 as part of a futile cycle 1.
In BALB/c mice, administration of SCH 900776 at a dosage of 8mg/kg after gemcitabine treatment can sufficiently induce enhanced tumor pharmacodynamic and regression responses as compared to gemcitabine or SCH 900776 alone 1.

General tips
We do not recommend long-term storage for the solution, please use it up soon.
Protocol
Cell experiment [1]:
Cell lines
U2OS cells
Preparation method
The solubility of this compound in DMSO is >18.8mg/mL. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below -20h
Applications
In U2OS cells, SCH 900776 induced a dose-dependent loss of DNA replication capability 24 hours after hydroxyurea exposure. SCH 900776 enhanced apoptosis for at least 48 hours following release from hydroxyurea blockade.
Animal experiment [1]:
Animal models
BALB/c mice bearing A2780 xenografts
Dosage form
4-32 mg/kg
Application
SCH-900776 (8 mg/kg) led to enhanced tumor pharmacodynamic and regression responses. SCH 900776 (16 and 32 mg/kg) induced incremental improvements in tumor response.
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.
