General description

Membrane-permeable form of BAPTA. Can be loaded into a wide variety of cells, where it is hydrolyzed by cytosolic esterases and is trapped intracellularly as the active chelator BAPTA. Prevents cocaine-induced ventricular fibrillations. Induces inactivation of protein kinase C. Also inhibits thapsigargin-induced apoptosis in rat thymocytes.
Membrane-permeable form of BAPTA. Can be loaded into a wide variety of cells, where it is hydrolyzed by cytosolic esterases and is trapped intracellularly as the active chelator BAPTA.Prevents cocaine-induced ventricular fibrillations. Abolishes vitamin D3-induced increase in intracellular Ca2+. Induces inactivation of protein kinase C. Also inhibits thapsigargin-induced apoptosis in rat thymocytes.

Application


  • TRPV1-Dependent Antiproliferative Activity of Dioecious Maclura pomifera Extracts in Estrogen Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer Cell Lines Involves Multiple Apoptotic Pathways.: This study explores how BAPTA/AM, a calcium chelator, contributes to the antiproliferative effects by regulating TRPV1 and apoptotic pathways in breast cancer cells (Rumpa et al., 2024).

  • Mitochondrial calcium uniporter promotes kidney aging in mice through inducing mitochondrial calcium-mediated renal tubular cell senescence.: The research highlights BAPTA/AM′s role in mitigating mitochondrial calcium overload, which is linked to cellular senescence and aging processes in renal cells (Xiong et al., 2024).

  • TRPV3 facilitates lipolysis and attenuates diet-induced obesity via activation of the NRF2/FSP1 signaling axis.: This article discusses the role of BAPTA/AM in the modulation of TRPV3 channels, leading to enhanced lipolysis and protection against obesity through the NRF2/FSP1 pathway (Hu et al., 2024).

  • Inflammation and Acinar Cell Dual-Targeting Nanomedicines for Synergistic Treatment of Acute Pancreatitis via Ca(2+) Homeostasis Regulation and Pancreas Autodigestion Inhibition.: BAPTA/AM is utilized to regulate calcium homeostasis, thereby preventing inflammation and autodigestion in acute pancreatitis treatments (Wang et al., 2024).

  • IP(3)R-Mediated Calcium Release Promotes Ferroptotic Death in SH-SY5Y Neuroblastoma Cells.: This study investigates how BAPTA/AM inhibits IP3R-mediated calcium release, thereby reducing ferroptotic cell death in neuroblastoma cells (Campos et al., 2024).
