Product Description

Epoxomicin (formerly also known as BU-4061T) is a novel, potent, selective, cell-permeable, irreversible proteasome inhibitor with anti-inflammatory activity. It inhibits the 20S proteasome's CH-L activity primarily, while also inhibiting the catalytic activities of PGPH and T-L at 100- and 1000-fold reduced rates. Epoxomicin's unique α-epoxy ketone moiety creates covalent bonds with specific catalytic subunit residues, thereby impeding the enzyme's function.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
20S proteasome
ln Vitro
Epoxomicin exhibits strong cytotoxic effects on every tested cell type. Epoxomicin has been shown to inhibit the growth of B16-F10, HCT116, Moser, P388, and K562 cells, with IC50 values of 0.002 μg/mL, 0.005 μg/mL, 0.044 μg/mL, 0.002 μg/mL, and 0.037 μg/mL[1].
Epoxomicin possesses antiproliferative activity against EL4 lymphoma cells, with an IC50 of 4 nM[2].
ln Vivo
Epoxomicin (0.063-1 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; once daily; for 9 days; male BDFX mice) treatment has a strong antitumor effect, with a minimum dosage of 0.13 mg/kg/day being effective[1].
Epoxomicin also potently blocks in vivo inflammation in the murine ear edema assay and effectively inhibits NF-κB activation in vitro[3].
Epoxomicin is given intraperitoneally over a two-week period to adult rats. The animals showed signs of progressive Parkinsonism, including bradykinesia, rigidity, tremor, and abnormal posture, after a latency of one to two weeks. Postmortem examinations reveal dopaminergic cell death with apoptosis and striatal dopamine depletion in the substantia nigra pars compacta[4].
Enzyme Assay
In assay solutions for proteasome inhibition assays, peptide-AMC substrates (5 μM Suc-LLVY-AMC, 5 μM Z-LLE-AMC, and 5 μM Boc-LRR-AMC) and epopoximin in DMSO are added at a final DMSO concentration of 1%. The assay buffer that is utilized is as follows: pH 8.0/0.5 mM EDTA with 20 mM Tris-HCl (plus 0.035% SDS for Z-LLE-AMC and Suc-LLVY-AMC assays). After adding the bovine red blood cell proteasome to the assay buffer containing substrates and doxomicin at a final volume of 100 μL at room temperature (23 °C), the fluorescence emission is immediately measured at 460 nm (λex, 360 nM) using a Cytofluor fluorescence plate reader for 50 minutes.
Cell Assay
After a pretreatment of vehicle, losartan (10μM), epoxomicin (10μM), or vehicle control, LECs were treated for a full day with either saline or Ang II (100μM).
Animal Protocol
BALB/c mice
2.9 mg/kg
intraperitoneal injection

*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:

  • 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
