Applications

Kinesin Eg5 and mitosis inhibitor

 

Functions

Potent, cell-permeable, small molecule inhibitor of mitosis. Monastrol-arrested cells are characterized by monopolar spindles. Does not affect other motor proteins or tubulin. Specifically inhibits the mitotic molecular motor kinesin Eg5, a motor protein required for spindle formation (IC50 = 14 μM). Mimics the effect of amyloid β on long term potentiation in a cellular model of learning and memory. Enhances regeneration of adult axons.

 

Application Procedures

First dissolved in DMSO (up to 25 mg/ml) or in Ethanol (up to 25 mg/ml), then diluted to aqueous buffer. Solutions in DMSO or ethanol may be stored at -20°C for up to 1 month.
