Product Description

(+)-Blebbistatin is the inactive isomer/enantiomer of (–)-Blebbistatin, which is a potent, selective and cell-permeable small molecule inhibitor for non muscle myosin II ATPase with IC50 of around 2 μM in cell-free assays. As a cell-permeable molecule with high affinity and selectivity toward the myosin II contractile molecule, (-)-Blebbistatin preferentially binds to the myosin-ADP-Pi complex to slow down phosphate release. The inhibitor completely eliminate contraction of activity of actin-activated Mg-ATPase and motility of myosins II for several species in vitro (IC50 = 0.5-5.0 μM), but it has poor effects on smooth muscle myosin II (IC50 =80 μM) and myosins I,V, and X.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Inactive R-isomer/enantiomer of (–)-Blebbistatin; Myosin II
ln Vitro
Blebbistatin is a small molecule inhibitor discovered in a screen for inhibitors of nonmuscle myosin IIA. We have examined the specificity and potency of the drug by assaying its effects on the actin-activated MgATPase assay of diverse members of the myosin superfamily. Blebbistatin potently inhibits several striated muscle myosins as well as vertebrate nonmuscle myosin IIA and IIB with IC50 values ranging from 0.5 to 5 microM. Interestingly, smooth muscle which is highly homologous to vertebrate nonmuscle myosin is only poorly inhibited (IC50=80 microM). The drug potently inhibits Dictyostelium myosin II, but poorly inhibits Acanthamoeba myosin II. Blebbistatin did not inhibit representative myosin superfamily members from classes I, V, and X[2].

Additional Infomation
(R)-blebbistatin is the (R)-enantiomer of blebbistatin. It is a blebbistatin and a tertiary α-hydroxy ketone.
The completion of cell division during cytokinesis requires temporally and spatially regulated communication between the microtubule cytoskeleton, the actin cytoskeleton, and the cell membrane. We have discovered a non-muscle myosin II specific inhibitor, blebbistatin, that inhibits the contraction of the cleavage groove without interfering with the assembly of mitotic or contractile loops. Using blebbistatin and other drugs, we have found that the exit from the cytokinesis phase of the cell cycle depends on ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis. Continuous microtubule signaling is crucial for maintaining the position of the cleavage groove, and these signals control the localization of myosin II independently of other cleavage groove components.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: ~120 mg/mL (~410.5 mM; with ultrasonication)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 6 mg/mL (20.52 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), Clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of DMSO stock solution (60.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD saline and mix well.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 6 mg/mL (20.52 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), Clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of DMSO stock solution (60.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL of corn oil and mix well.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
