Product Description

Apoptosis Activator 2 is a novel and potent small molecule apoptosis activator with an IC50 value of about 4 μM. Apoptosis Activator 2 is a cell permeable substance that encourages apoptosis by triggering caspases in a way that depends on cytochrome c and Apaf-1. When there is 0.15 mM cytochrome c, 20 μM apoptosis activator 2 increases the fraction of Apaf-1 in the apoptosome. It was discovered that Apaf-1 oligomerization was induced by Apoptosis Activator 2. Apoptosis Activator 2 prominently causes DNA fragmentation, PARP cleavage, and caspase-3 activation through the induction of apoptosis.

Targets
Caspase-3
ln Vitro
Apoptosis Activator 2 (20 μM) at the reduced cyto c concentration increases the fraction of Apaf-1 in the apoptosome by 1.5-fold to 33%. At the decreased level of cytochrome c and caspase-3 activation, Apoptosis Activator 2 causes a 4-fold increase in the extent of caspase-3 activation. With an IC50 of 4 μM, Apoptosis Activator 2 kills cells by strongly inducing caspase-3 activation, PARP cleavage, and DNA fragmentation. With an IC50 of 50 μM, 43 μM, 4 μM, 6 μM, 9 μM, 20 μM, 44 μM and 35 μM. , Apoptosis Activator 2 induces apoptosis in PBL, HUVEC, Jurkat, Molt-4, CCRF-CEM, BT-549, MDA-MB-468, and NCI-H23. The majority of tumor cell lines tested exhibit a cytostatic response to apoptosis activator 2, which inhibits cell growth by 50–100% at 10 M. In 40 of the 48 tumor cell lines examined, Apoptosis Activator 2 inhibits cell growth by 50–100% at 10 μM, having a cytostatic effect on the majority of the tumor cell lines examined. [1] Through the induction of apoptosome formation, Apoptosis Activator 2 causes cell death. The survival rates of Ventral midbrain cultures for Apoptosis Activator 2 (-8.1 ± 6.0%) are not significantly influenced by En1 expression levels. Use of the other three reagents has no appreciable impact on the survival rate for Apoptosis Activator 2 (-10.7 ± 4.7%). [2] The Tunel assay and apoptotic DNA ladder are used to determine whether or not apoptosis activator 2 (10 μM) induces apoptosis in AGS cells. Anti TROP2 conjugated liposomes induce apoptosis more effectively when apoptosis activator 2 (10 μM) is added. [3] In neuronal cultures, zVAD (50 μM) or cyclohexamide (10 μg/mL) significantly reduce the toxicity of Apoptosis Activator 2. Numerous neurones with pyknotic nuclei suggestive of cell death involving apoptosis are produced in response to apoptosis activator 2 (3 μM). In neuronal cultures, DHT (10 nM) or E2 (10 nM) significantly reduce the toxicity of Apoptosis Activator 2. [4]

Enzyme Assay
According to previously published reports, HeLa cell cytoplasmic extracts are created. Apoptosis Activator 2 is diluted in DMSO to a final concentration of 1 mM, with a final DMSO concentration of 1% vol/vol, and then distributed into 96-well microtiter plates. 250 μg of total protein from cytoplasmic extracts in HEB buffer (50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4/50 mM KCl/5 mM EGTA/2 mM MgCl) are added to each well along with 150 μL of the DEVD-AFC (Asp-Glu-Val-Asp-7-amino-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin) substrate. Fluorescence is measured in a LJL Biosystems plate reader at 10-minute intervals while the plates are incubated at 37 °C.
Cell Assay
An experimenter blinded to condition counts all viable cells using a manual mechanical counter within the defined field of a microscope reticle grid. The vital dye calcein acetoxymethyl ester and the morphological criterion of a smooth, spherical soma are both used to determine whether a cell is viable. Per culture well, counts of viable cells are performed in four non-overlapping fields, with three separate wells for each condition. For vehicle-treated control conditions, there were 100–200 viable cell counts per well. At least three different culture preparations are used for each experiment. One-way ANOVA is used to statistically analyze the raw cell count data, and the Fisher LSD test is used to compare between groups (significance is denoted by P < 0.05). Cell viability is represented graphically as a proportion of alive cells in the vehicle-treated control condition.

*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
