Product Description
Hydroxystilbamidine bis(methanesulfonate) is a dye capable of binding DNA and RNA and has also been found to be a potent inhibitor of cellular ribonucleases.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Nucleic acids (specifically binds to guanine-rich regions without intercalation, acting as a conformational probe) [2]
Lysosomes (stabilizes lysosomal membranes and exhibits anti-proteolytic activity) [1]
ln Vitro
Research has indicated that following polyribosome release using Nonidet P-40 (NP-40), the trypanocidal dye Hydroxystilbamidine bis(methanesulfonate) can repair mRNA. The sucrose gradient examination of detergent-lysed postnuclear supernatants was utilized to examine the size distribution of NP-40-released polyribosomes. Polyribosomes can be seen in the heparin gradient, but a significant peak of very heavy polyribosomes can be seen in the hydroxystilmidine bis(methanesulfonate) gradient. If hydroxystilamidine bis(methanesulfonate) is present prior to adding NP-40, this peak can be consistently obtained[3].
Hydroxystilbamidine demonstrated significant immunosuppressive effects by inhibiting the release of lysosomal enzymes from macrophages. Treatment with 10 μg/mL reduced β-glucuronidase release by 50% in cultured mouse peritoneal macrophages, indicating lysosomal stabilization and suppression of inflammatory responses. [1]

The drug exhibited antifungal activity against Blastomyces dermatitidis at concentrations of 1–5 μg/mL, disrupting fungal cell integrity through lysosome-mediated mechanisms. [1]

In nucleic acid binding studies, Hydroxystilbamidine selectively bound to double-stranded RNA and guanine-rich DNA regions via minor groove interactions, altering nucleic acid conformation without intercalation. This was confirmed by spectral shifts (absorption peak at 335 nm) and fluorescence quenching assays. [2]
ln Vivo
When given before stimulating sheep red blood cells (SRBC), hydroxystilmidine bis(methanesulfonate) is a highly effective inhibitor of the plaque-forming cell (PFC) response. In treated mice, hydroxystilbamidine bis(methanesulfonate) suppresses the plaque response. Throughout the trial, mice treated with hydroxystilmidine bis(methanesulfonate) showed reduced PFC; however, this reduction in inhibition was not sustained over time. PFC levels in normal and hydroxystilamidine bis(methanesulfonate)-treated animals were nearly at baseline by day 14 [1].
Intraperitoneal administration of 10 mg/kg Hydroxystilbamidine in mice suppressed delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses to sheep red blood cells by 70%, attributed to lysosome stabilization and reduced protease release from immune cells. [1]
Enzyme Assay
Nucleic acids (specifically binds to guanine-rich regions without intercalation, acting as a conformational probe) [2]
; Lysosomes (stabilizes lysosomal membranes and exhibits anti-proteolytic activity) [1]
Cell Assay
Mouse peritoneal macrophages were harvested, cultured in medium, and pre-treated with Hydroxystilbamidine (1–10 μg/mL) for 30 min. Cells were then stimulated with zymosan particles (1 mg/mL) for 60 min. β-glucuronidase release in supernatants was measured to evaluate lysosomal membrane stability. [1]

For antifungal testing, Blastomyces dermatitidis was incubated with Hydroxystilbamidine (0.1–10 μg/mL) in broth culture at 37°C for 48 hours. Growth inhibition was determined by turbidity measurements at 600 nm. [1]

Additional Infomation
Hydroxystilbamidine acts as a lysosome-stabilizing agent that inhibits proteolytic enzyme release, thereby suppressing immune cell activation and inflammation. This mechanism underlies its immunosuppressive and antifungal effects. [1]

The drug serves as a unique nonintercalating nucleic acid probe due to its selective binding to guanine bases via hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions, inducing conformational changes in double-stranded RNA and GC-rich DNA regions. [2]

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)
