Product Description

Thapsigargin is a novel and potent non-competitive inhibitor of the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) and an Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) stress inducing agent. It is a potent, cell-permeable, IP3-independent intracellular calcium releaser, that works by blocking the transient increase in intracellular Ca2+ induced by angiostatin and endostatin, and inducing apoptosis by disrupting intracellular free Ca2+ levels.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Thapsigargin (0.001-1 μM; for 2 and 4 days) decreases cell proliferation of MH7A human rheumatoid arthritis synoviocytes in a time- and dose-dependent manner [2]. Thapsigargin (0.001-1 μM; for 2 and 4 days). Thapsigargin (0.001-1 μM; for 2 and 4 days) inhibits mTOR activity and increases cyclin D1 expression in MH7A cells [2]. Thapsigargin reduces Ca2+ entrance into human neutrophils [1]. Thapsigargin inhibits carbachol-evoked [Ca2+]i-transients with (IC50=0.353 nM) or without (IC50=0.448 nM) KCl prestimulation, but not in the absence. An extra minor component was found with KCl prestimulation, resulting in low fractionation (IC50=4814 nM). In contrast, KCl-induced transient changes in [Ca2+]i exhibited just one component, with a very low shift to Thapsigargin in the absence of the mean of both components (IC50=3343 nM) and the presence of carbachol prestimulation (IC50 =6858 nM)[3]. Additionally, thapsigargin inhibits TNF-α via phosphorylating p38 MAPK through SOCE influx of Ca2+.
ln Vivo
Thapsigargin (injection; 0.25 μg/g, 0.5 μg/g, and 1 μg/g; 24 hours) caused a 2- to 5-fold increase in the expression of proinflammatory chemokines. The ability to elicit systemic immunological responses is more sensitive in thapsigargin [4].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~50 mg/mL (~76.83 mM)
H2O : < 0.1 mg/mL
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: 5 mg/mL (7.68 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (3.20 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% 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 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

*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
