Properties
Description
(-)-Blebbistcitin, soluble in DMSO and insoluble in ethanol and water, specifically hinders the activity of ATPase enzymes, thereby disrupting the process of ATP hydrolysis, which is critical for energy conversion and cellular functions. It targets non-muscle myosin II ATPases.
Molecular Formula
C18H16N2O2
Targets
Non-muscle myosin II ATPases: 0.5-5 μM
Solubility
DMSO: 55 mg/mL (188.14 mM); Water: Insoluble; Ethanol: Insoluble
Identity
Confirmed by NMR/HPLC/MS.
Applications
(-)-Blebbistatin is an ATPase inhibitor important in muscle contraction studies and non-muscle cell motility research.
