                                 Slightly soluble in DMSO (2mg/ml), DMF (2mg/ml) or 100%                                   ethanol (1mg/ml). Sparingly soluble in aqueous solutions.
                                 See also Solubility Note below.
Other Product          Solubility/Stability and Application NOTE:
Data                          U-73122 is only sparingly soluble in aqueous media. 
                                 Therefore the compound is delivered to cells either after 
                                 dissolving in organic solvents or complexing with serum
                                 proteins.
Preparation of a Working solution:
  1. Dissolve a weighed amount of U-73122 in methylene chloride or  chloroform.
  2. Dispense in aliquots sufficient for one  experiment into suitable vessels.         
      Evaporate solvent with nitrogen.
  3. The resulting film can be dissolved in DMSO (5mM), ethanol (2mM in 100%)
      or an aqueous medium that contains serum or serum albumin (1-10 mg/ml),
      which forms a complex with U-73122, thus eliminating the need to use an
      organic solvent to deliver the compound to the cells.
Stability:
  Stock solutions in DMSO or ethanol are stable for 2 months when stored at 
  -20°C. Preferably dissolve just before use. Use caution in re-using stored
  DMSO solutions. Discard solutions that have turned to a pink color, which
  indicates a loss of inhibitor activity. Dried aliquots prepared from chloroform
  solutions are stable for up to 1 month when stored at -20°C.
Application:
  Useful range of concentrations for U-73122 is 0.1 to 10μM. The appropriate
  concentration will depend upon the cell type, cell density, medium
  concentration (the maleimide moiety of U-73122 may react with thiol containing
  compounds) and the particular cell parameter that is being measured.

U-73122

    • Gasdermin D N-terminal fragment (GSDMD-N)-induced pyroptosis inhibitor. Protects against GSDMD-N cytotoxicity in macrophages or against lethal infection in mice.
    • Useful agent for inflammasome research.
    • Potent cell permeable phospholipase C (PLC) , phospholipase A2 and 5-LO (5-lipoxygenase) inhibitor. Affects the phospholipases by inhibiting the hydrolysis of PPI (phosphatidylinositol) to IP3 (inositol triphosphate), which in turn leads to a drop in cytosolic Ca2+.
    • Potent inhibitor of the SERCA pump in smooth muscle. Potently inhibits Ca2+-release from isolated smooth muscle cells independent of its effect on PLC.
    • Inhibits agonist-induced platelet aggregation. Potently inhibits human polymorphonuclear neutrophil adhesion on biological surfaces and exhibits antinociceptive activity in vivo. Shown to inhibit agonist-induced down-regulation of muscarinic receptors in SK-N-SH neuroblastoma cells.
    • Activates TRPM4 and inhibits TRPM3 channels.
    • Potent human telomerase inhibitor.
