(-)-Blebbistatin (Synonyms: (S)Blebbistatin) |
Catalog No.GC13430 |
(-)-Blebbistatin is one of the configurations of the racemic mixture (±)-Blebbistatin (Cat. No. GC12341) and is the active form. (-)-Blebbistatin is a cell-permeable inhibitor of non-muscle myosin II ATPase, which effectively inhibits multiple striated muscle myosins as well as vertebrate non-muscle myosins with IC50 values ranging from 0.5-5μM, and only slightly inhibits smooth muscle myosin (IC50=80μM) .

(-)-Blebbistatin is one of the configurations of the racemic mixture (±)-Blebbistatin (Cat. No. GC12341) and is the active form. (-)-Blebbistatin is a cell-permeable inhibitor of non-muscle myosin II ATPase, which effectively inhibits multiple striated muscle myosins as well as vertebrate non-muscle myosins with IC50 values ranging from 0.5-5μM, and only slightly inhibits smooth muscle myosin (IC50=80μM) [1, 2]. (+)-Blebbistatinb has no effect on the ATPase activity of various myosin IIs or cell migration in cultured smooth muscle[3]. Blebbistatin is a potential photodynamic agent that can kill cancer cells. Exposure to UV light with a wavelength below 488nm can also lead to rapid inhibition of Blebbistatin [4].
In vitro, (-)-Blebbistatin (10-200μM) was used to treat five human cell lines, including F11-hTERT, U87, Du145, FEMX-I, and LNCaP, for 24h, which inhibited cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner. At the highest dose of 200μM, the survival rates of F11-hTERT cells were approximately 20%, U87 cells were 30%, and Du145, FEMX-I, and LNCaP cells were all below 10%[5]. Treatment with (-)-Blebbistatin (10μM) on intact and skinned isolated rat heart trabeculae, intact rat cardiomyocytes, and single rabbit psoas myofibrils reduced twitch force and cell shortening, decreased the contractility of trabeculae with intact membranes, without affecting tension-dependent myofilament ATPase activity[6].

Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | F11-hTERT、U87、Du145、FEMX-I、LNCaP cells |
Preparation Method | Cells were treated with 0-200µM of (-)-Blebbistatin for 3h and 24h, and cell viability was measured. |
Reaction Conditions | 0-200µM; 3、24h |
Applications | The cytotoxic effect of (-)-Blebbistatin was observed in a concentration-dependent manner when the cells were incubated for 24h. The highest dose tested (200μM for 24h) produced toxic effect with the cell viability being about 20% for the F11-hTERT cells, 30% for the U87 cells, and below 10% for the Du145, FEMX-I and LNCaP cells. |
