Biological Activity for (S)-(-)-Blebbistatin

(S)-(-)-Blebbistatin is a selective inhibitor of myosin II ATPase activity (IC50 ~0.5 - 5 μM); active enantiomer of (±)-blebbistatin. Inhibits contraction of the cleavage furrow without disrupting mitosis or contractile ring assembly. (S)-(-)-Blebbistatin rapidly and reversibly blocks cell blebbing, and disrupts directed cell migration and cytokinesis in vertebrate cells.

Inactive Enantiomer and Racemate also available.
