Functions

NH125 was originally discovered as an antibacterial agent active against various Gram-positive and -negative bacteria via inhibition of histidine protein kinase. It was also found to be a potent inhibitor of eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF-2) kinase (IC50 = 60 nM) with efficacy against a broad spectrum of human cancer cell lines. Other studies have linked the anticancer effects of NH125 to induction of eEF2 phosphorylation.  NH125 has also been shown to engage the EIF2a-ATF4-CHOP axis resulting in induction of DR5 expression.  Treatment of glioma stem cells with NH125 resulted in a sustained decrease in tumor volume via activation of  integrated stress response (ISR) and GADD45 pathways.

 

Application Procedures

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