A cell-permeable 2-thio-4-thiazolidinone compound that acts as a potent, reversible, rapid, and voltage-independent inhibitor of CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator)-mediated Cl- transport in human airway cells (Ki ~300nM). It does not prevent elevation of cellular cAMP, nor does it inhibit non-CFTR Cl- channels, MDR-1, ATP-sensitive K+ channels, or a series of other transporters even at concentrations as high as 5uM. Shown to block cholera toxin-induced intestinal fluid secretion in mice. May be also useful for reducing intestinal fluid loss in other secretory diarrheas.
Formula:C18H10F3NO3S
Solubility:DMSO
Molecular Weight:409.4
Storage and Stability:Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
