Product Description
Exo2 is a secretion inhibitor. Exo2 interferes with Shiga toxin transport between endosomes and the trans-Golgi network. Exo2 can block the export of secreted substances from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and destroy the Golgi apparatus, but does not affect the morphology of the TGN (trans-Golgi network). Exo2 stimulates calcium-dependent extracellular interactions in permeable/penetrable adrenal chromatin in cells.
Exo-2 (CAS 304684-77-3) is a cell-permeable small molecule secretion inhibitor that disrupts intracellular vesicle transport and Golgi apparatus integrity.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Exo-2 targets the intracellular trafficking machinery, interfering with transport between endosomes and the trans-Golgi network. It blocks the export of secreted substances from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and destroys the Golgi apparatus structure without affecting TGN morphology.
ln Vitro
Exo-2 blocks the transport of Shiga toxin from endosomes to the Golgi. It inhibits secretion of various proteins, disrupts Golgi morphology, and stimulates calcium-dependent extracellular interactions in permeable/penetrable adrenal chromatin cells. It does not affect TGN morphology.
ln Vivo
Exo-2 is a secretion inhibitor primarily used for ex vivo studies of vesicular transport. In animal models, it can be administered to study the effects of Golgi disruption and secretion blockade on physiological processes. Doses and routes of administration vary by study.
Enzyme Assay
This cell-free protocol is not applicable as Exo-2 targets intact vesicular transport machinery. For binding studies using isolated Golgi or endosome preparations, purified membranes (100 ug protein) are incubated with Exo-2 (1-100 uM) in transport buffer for 30 min at 37degC, followed by vesicle budding and fusion assays to assess transport inhibition.
Cell Assay
HeLa or other adherent cells are seeded on coverslips or in 6-well plates. Exo-2 (10-100 uM) is added to the culture medium for 2-24 hours. Golgi morphology is assessed by immunofluorescence staining of Golgi markers (GM130, giantin) using confocal microscopy. Secretion of a reporter protein (e.g., secreted alkaline phosphatase, SEAP) is measured in culture supernatants. Shiga toxin transport is tracked using fluorescently labeled toxin.
Animal Protocol
Detailed in vivo animal protocols are limited. Exo-2 can be administered to rodents via intraperitoneal or intravenous injection at doses of 5-25 mg/kg. Tissues (e.g., liver, pancreas, intestinal epithelium) are collected 2-24 hours post-injection. Golgi morphology is assessed by electron microscopy or immunofluorescence. Secreted protein levels in plasma are measured by ELISA.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for Exo-2 are limited. Solubility: DMSO (~25 mg/mL, ~70.54 mM). Storage: powder at -20degC for 3 years; in solvent at -80degC for 6 months. Molecular weight: 354.43; formula: C18H18N4O2S. For in vivo formulation, DMSO:Tween80:saline (10:5:85) or DMSO:PEG300:Tween80:saline (10:40:5:45) is recommended.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicity studies have not been extensively reported. Standard safety precautions for research chemicals apply. Exo-2 is for research use only, not for human use. Avoid inhalation, ingestion, and skin contact. Use personal protective equipment and work in a fume hood.
Additional Infomation
Exo2 belongs to the phenolic class and also to the methoxybenzene class.
This is a research-grade secretion inhibitor, not an approved drug. It is a valuable tool for studying protein secretion, membrane trafficking, and Golgi function in cell biology. Also known as EVT-3259710. Purity: ≥98%.

*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.

Calculator

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
