Application

4,4′-Diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2′-disulfonic acid disodium salt hydrate has been used:
  • as band3 protein inhibitor in rabbits(19)
  • for the inhibition of bicarbonate transporters in brain slice tissue(20)
  • as HCO3-/Cl- exchanger (anion exchanger) in embryos(21)

A negatively charged homobifunctional cross-linking reagent. The isothiocyanate groups react with primary amines at pH 9.0-10.0.

Biochem/physiol Actions

4,4′-Diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2′-disulfonic acid is an anionic alkylating agent containing isothiocyanate residue. It is a negatively charged homobifunctional cross-linking reagent. 4,4′-Diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2′-disulfonic acid is a specific inhibitor of cellular anion permeability used in cell transport studies. The isothiocyanate groups react with primary amines at pH 9.0-10.0. 4,4′-Diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2′-disulfonic acid alkylates lysine residues and inhibits apoptosis indirectly by targeting membrane based anion transporters.In addition, it also inhibits calcium transport in vesicles.
A specific inhibitor of cellular anion permeability used in cell transport studies.

The protozoan parasite responsible for human amoebiasis is Entamoeba histolytica. An important facet of the life cycle of E. histolytica involves the conversion of the mature trophozoite to a cyst. This transition is thought to involve homologous recombination (HR), which
