* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description

2-BP (2-Bromohexadecanoic acid) is a nonmetabolisable analogue of palmitate and acts as a palmitoylation inhibitor, which inhibits multiple palmitoyl-acyl transferase (PAT) activity towards MyrGCK(NBD) and FarnCNRas(NBD) with identical IC50s of approx. 4 µM. 2-Bromohexadecanoic acid can directly and irreversibly inhibit the palmitoyltransferase activity of all DHHC (Asp-His-His-Cys) proteins.

Targets

palmitoyltransferase ^[1]	multiple palmitoyl-acyl transferase (PAT) ^[2]
	4 µM

In vitro

2-Bromohexadecanoic acid induces the interactions between GSDME-N and GSDME-C, and inhibits the GSDME-C palmitoylation, exhibiting chemotherapy induced pyroptosis.^[1]

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:^{^[1]}	Cell lines Hela cells Concentrations 50 μM Incubation Time 3, 6, 9, 12 h Method Cells are pre-seeded overnight until cell density reached ~60%. The culture medium is switched to fresh medium containing relevant drugs and incubated for a period of time as indicated. After 2-BP and TNFα+CHX treatment, Hela cells are collected at the indicated time points and stained with FITC-Annexin V and PI, and subjected to Hoechst 33342 and PI double staining. The culture supernatants are collected to measure the percentage of LDH release.
