| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
MS-444 inhibits the activity of purified smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) with an IC50 value of 10 μM. | [in vivo]
To test the effects of MS-444 on CRC cell growth in vivo, mice bearing HCT116 cell xenografts receive IP injections of MS-444 (25 mg/kg bw) or vehicle every 48 hr. Over the experiment course, mice do not display any adverse effects and maintained similar weights. Anti-tumor effects of MS-444 are observed with approximately 1.7-fold reduction in tumor size. Mice treated with MS-444 show a marked 2- to 3-fold decrease in microvessel density (MVD), indicating the anti-angiogenic potential of MS-444[2]. | [References]
