General description

A nucleoside antibiotic that inhibits N-linked glycosylation and blocks the formation of N-glycosidic protein-carbohydrate linkages. Active in vitro against Gram-positive bacteria, yeasts, fungi, and viruses. Inhibits the expression of functional thrombin receptors on human T-lymphoblastoid cells. Also inhibits thrombin-induced Ca2+ mobilization in cells. Also available as a 25 mM solution in DMSO (Cat. No. 504570).

Warning

Toxicity: Highly Toxic & Carcinogenic / Teratogenic (I)

Preparation Note

Aqueous solutions can be prepared from DMSO stock solutions by diluting in H₂O at pH 8.0 to 10.0 or with appropriate buffers at pH >7.0.

Reconstitution

Aqueous solutions can be prepared from stock solutions in DMSO by diluting with H₂O at pH 8.0 to 10.0 or with appropriate buffers at pH >7.0 (preferably >8.0).
Following reconstitution, aliquot and freeze (-20°C). Stock solutions are stable for up to 2 weeks at -20°C.
