Product Description

Myriocin (formerly also known as antibiotic ISP-1 and thermozymocidin), a fungal metabolite and an atypical amino acid and an antibiotic isolated from Myriococcum albomyces, Isaria sinclairi and Mycelia sterilia, is a novel and potent inhibitor of serine-palmitoyl-transferase (SPT) which is a key enzyme in de novo synthesis of sphingolipids. Myriocin strongly suppresses replication of both the subgenomic HCV-1b replicon and the JFH-1 strain of genotype 2a infectious HCV, with an IC50 of 3.5 µg/mL for inhibiting HCV infection. Myriocin, also known as antibiotic ISP-1 and thermozymocidin,

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Myriocin (Thermozymocidin; 0-10000 nM; 96 h; Huh7/Rep-Feo cells) suppresses the replication of the subgenomic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1b replicon [2]. Myriocin (100 nM; 72 hours) decreases sphingomyelin levels in Huh7 cells [2].
ln Vivo
Myriocin (Thermozymocidin; 0–1 mg/kg; intraperitoneally; daily for 5 days; male Balb/c mice) induces the expression of c-myc in the liver and inhibits SPT, thereby blocking de novo sphingolipid synthesis in vivo [1].
Cell Assay
Western Blot Analysis[2]
Cell Types: Huh7/Rep-Feo Cell
Tested Concentrations: 0, 300 and 1000 nM
Incubation Duration: 96 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: HCV NS5A levels diminished in a concentration-dependent manner.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male Balb/c mouse (22 g, 7-8 weeks old) [1]
Doses: 0, 0.1, 0.3, and 1.0 mg/kg
Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection; one time/day for 5 days
Experimental Results: Plasma Alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels were not Dramatically altered. Free dihydrosphingosine was diminished in the liver and kidneys in a dose-dependent manner. Liver SPT activity diminished, with a correlation coefficient of -0.76. Increases hepatic c-myc expression in a dose-dependent manner.

Additional Infomation
Myriocin is an amino acid-based antibiotic derived from certain thermophilic fungi; acts as a potent inhibitor of serine palmitoyltransferase, the first step in sphingosine biosynthesis. Myriocin also possesses immunosuppressant activity. It has a role as an antimicrobial agent, an antifungal agent, an immunosuppressive agent, an EC 2.3.1.50 (serine C-palmitoyltransferase) inhibitor, an apoptosis inducer, an antineoplastic agent and a fungal metabolite. It is a sphingoid, an alpha-amino fatty acid, a non-proteinogenic alpha-amino acid and a hydroxy monocarboxylic acid.
Myriocin has been reported in Melanocarpus albomyces, Streptomyces, and other organisms with data available.

Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 0.29 mg/mL (0.72 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 2.9 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
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.

*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
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
