A cell-permeable, naturally isolated Ginkgo biloba biflavanoid that acts as a general pre-mRNA splicing inhibitor (ICmax=50uM in splicing assays using HeLa nuclear extract) by blocking the spliceosome-meidated splicing process at the prespliceosome/A complex stage. Isoginkgetin treatment is shown to result in growth arrest in HEK293-derived cultures in a reversible manner without affecting cell viability (33uM for 24h).
217696 is a cell-permeable inhibitor of pre-mRNA splicing. Blocks spliceosome-mediated splicing process at the pre-spliceosome/A complex stage.
Storage and Stability:Store at -20°C under inert atmosphere. Protect from light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap.
