Biological Activity

Description	Cycloheximide, an antifungal antibiotic, is an eukaryote protein synthesis inhibitor with IC50 of 532.5 nM and 2880 nM for protein synthesis and RNA synthesis in vivo, respectively. Cycloheximide suppresses ferroptosis and inhibits autophagy.Solutions are unstable and should be fresh-prepared.This product is a hazardous chemical (acute toxicity/flammable/skin corrosive). Please use it while wearing a protective face mask, gloves, and clothing.
In vitro	Cyclohexamide, a protein synthesis inhibitor, reduces GSIV-induced host cell death by attenuating phosphatidylserine exposure and loss of ΔΨm from apoptosis/necrosis.^[1]
In vivo	Cycloheximide, a protein synthesis inhibitors, acts on memory by altering modulators of memory formation as a secondary consequence of the inhibition of protein synthesis.^[2]

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:^{^[1]}	Cell lines grouper fin cell line (GF-1) Concentrations 0.33 µg/ml Incubation Time 0-5 days Method Monolayers of GF-1 cells (4.0 mL, 10⁵ cells/mL) on 60-mm Petri dishes are cultivated for at least 20 h, rinsed twice with phosphate buffered saline (PBS), treated with the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide (CHX, 0.33 µg/mL) and ANT inhibitor BKA (20 µM) for 0 5 days, then infected with GSIV K1 strain (multiplicity of infection [m.o.i. ] = 5) for 0 5 days post-infection (dpi). At the end of the incubation period, each sample is removed from the medium and washed with PBS. Cells are then incubated for 10-15 min with 100 µL staining solution.
