MSN-125 is an inhibitor of Bax and Bak oligomerization, with an IC50 of 4μM[1]. Bax and Bak are key proteins in the apoptosis process[2]. Bax and Bak oligomerization increases the permeability of the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOMP), leads to the release of pro-apoptotic factors such as cytochrome c, thereby initiating the apoptosis program[3]. MSN-125 inhibits the oligomerization of Bax and Bak, prevents the increase of MOMP, and inhibits cell apoptosis[4]. MSN-125 is usually used to study the molecular mechanisms of apoptosis, especially in the fields of cancer and neuroprotection[5][6].
In vitro, MSN-125(5-10μM; 27h) inhibited cell death in HCT-116 or BMK cells treated with actinomycin D (ActD) or staurosporine (STS) and protected primary cortical neurons from glutamate excitotoxicity[1].

Cell lines |

|
Preparation Method |
HCT-116 and BMK cells were seeded at a cell density of 3000 cells/well in a 96 well plate. Cells were plated in in DMEM containing 10% FBS and after adhering, cells were treated with MSN-125 (5-10μM) for 4 hours followed by addition of actinomycin D (ActD) or staurosporine (STS) for another 24 hours. Then cell death was analyzed by measuring lactate dehydrogenase release. |

Applications |
MSN-125 inhibited cell death in HCT-116 or BMK cells treated with actinomycin D (ActD) or staurosporine (STS). |

| General tips | Please select the appropriate solvent to prepare the stock solution according to the
solubility of the product in different solvents; once the solution is prepared, please store it in
separate packages to avoid product failure caused by repeated freezing and thawing.Storage method
and period of the stock solution: When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months; when stored
at -20°C, please use it within 1 month. To increase solubility, heat the tube to 37°C and then oscillate in an ultrasonic bath for some time. |
