Description

SMIFH2 is a specific inhibitor of formin that inhibits formin-driven actin polymerization in vitro with IC50s ranging from 5 to 15 μM for different formins.
Targets
formin [1]
In vitro
In vitro

SMIFH2 inhibits stress fiber contractility in living and permeabilized REF52 cells. SMIFH2 inhibits centripetal movement of myosin 2 filaments in living and permeabilized HFF cells. SMIFH2 inhibits activity of myosin ATPase and the ability to translocate actin filaments in the gliding actin.[1]
Cell Research Cell lines REF52 cells, HFF cells
Concentrations 30 μM, 100 μM
Incubation Time 10 min, 45 min
Method

Cells are seeded at density of 5×104 cells/ml on the hydrophobic uncoated μ-dish 35 mm with fibronectin micro-patterns and incubated 3-8 h prior to the experiment. Cells are permeabilized with extraction buffer A supplemented with 0.1% Triton X-100 and 4% PEG MW35000 for 10 min at room temperature, followed by three washes with extraction buffer A. Cytoskeleton contractility assay was carried out at 37°C using buffer A supplemented with 2 mM ATP with or without SMIFH2.
In Vivo
In vivo

SMIFH2 induces tail curvature and peripheral cell death, craniofacial malformations, pericardial edema in developing zebrafish embryos. SMIFH2 impairs vascular flow and impacts heart rates in developing zebrafish embryos.[2]

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
