Bulk Inquiry
iMDK
- Soluble in DMSO
- MF: C21H13FN2O2S
- MW: 376.4
Description
iMDK is a midkine (MDK) expression inhibitor that selectively suppresses MDK in H441 lung adenocarcinoma cells without inhibiting the homologous growth factor pleiotrophin (PTN). It induces apoptosis in MDK-expressing cells through PI3K/Akt pathway suppression while sparing VEGF expression.
Midkine is a heparin-binding growth factor implicated in tumor growth, inflammation, angiogenesis and tissue repair. iMDK is useful for studying MDK-dependent survival signaling and separating midkine biology from related growth-factor pathways.
Key Features
- Selective inhibitor of midkine expression
- Suppresses PI3K/Akt signaling in MDK-expressing cells
- Induces apoptosis in H441 lung adenocarcinoma cells
- Does not inhibit PTN or VEGF expression in reported assays
Applications
- Midkine biology research
- Lung cancer survival-pathway studies
- PI3K/Akt signaling assays
- Growth-factor selectivity studies
