Storage
Store lyophilized at -20ºC, desiccated. In lyophilized form, the chemical is stable for 24 months. Once in solution, store at -20ºC and use within 1 month to prevent loss of potency. Aliquot to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
Background
KU-55933 is a potent and selective ATP-competitive inhibitor of ATM kinase (IC = 13 nM and K = 2.2 nM). This small molecule has been shown to sensitize cancer cells to ionizing radiation and chemotherapeutic agents (1). Treating senescent cancer cells (MCF7, A549, and HCT 116) with KU-55933 results in decreased viability and cell death (2). KU-55933 has neuroprotective capabilities by preventing damage caused by oxidative stress (3).
Alternate Names
