Description: Selective inhibitor of myosin II ATPase activity
Chemical Name: (±)-1,2,3,3a-Tetrahydro-3a-hydroxy-6-methyl-1-phenyl-4H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]quinolin-4-one
Purity: ≥99% (HPLC)
Biological Activity for (±)-Blebbistatin
(±)-Blebbistatin is a selective inhibitor of myosin II ATPase activity; inhibits contraction of the cleavage furrow without disrupting mitosis or contractile ring assembly. (±)-Blebbistatin rapidly and reversibly blocks cell blebbing, and disrupts directed cell migration and cytokinesis in vertebrate cells. (±)-Blebbistatin inhibits arterial thrombosis development, reduces infiltration of inflammatory cells, and reduces damage to vascular tissue in vivo in a mice model of arterial thrombosis.
Active and Inactive Enantiomer also available.
