Blebbistatin

SKU: orb1306301

Description

Blebbistatin is a selective inhibitor of non-muscle myosin II (NMII) and MYH9. It promotes directional migration and accelerates wound healing in corneal endothelial cells in vitro, while preserving cell junction integrity and barrier function. This small molecule is widely used in cytoskeleton and cell migration research.

Bioactivity

• Target IC50:
  Non-muscle myosin II ATPases:2 μM
• In Vivo:
  METHODS: Blebbistatin ((±)-Blebbistatin) (10, 20, 40 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, once every two days, 4 weeks) was administered to NCl-H460 model nude mice, and the changes in tumors in the mice were observed. RESULTS The inhibition rates of Blebbistatin ((±)-Blebbistatin) on xenograft tumor weight were 23.4%, 40.2%, and 83.4%, respectively.
• In Vitro:
  Blebbistatin is a cell-permeable non-muscle myosin II ATPases inhibitor with an IC50 range of 2 μM.
