Description

General description

A cell-permeable, reversible, and potent antioxidant that has anti-mutagenic and anti-carcinogenic properties. Acts as a selective and ATP-competitive inhibitor of CK2 (IC₅₀ = 40 nM). Moderately inhibits DNA topoisomerases I and II, Lyn, PKA catalytic subunit, Lyk, GSK-3, PKC, and FGR (IC₅₀ = 1.8, 2.1, 2.9, 3.5, 4.3, 7.5, 8.0, and 9.4 µM, respectively). Only minimally inhibits DYRK1a, CSK, RET, Flt3, and NPM-ALK (IC₅₀ >40 µM). Shown to act as an uncompetitive inhibitor of arginine methyltransferase CARM1 and block histone H3R17 methylation.

Warning

Toxicity: Irritant (B)

Preparation Note

For complete solubilization in ethanol, slight heating may be required.

Reconstitution

Following reconstitution, aliquot and freeze (-20°C). Ethanol stock solutions are stable for up to 1 week at -20°C. Alkaline solutions are unstable and should be prepared just prior to use.
