QUICK LINKS

Thiostrepton is a cyclic peptide antibiotic, densely packed with thiazoles and other structurally intriguing moieties. It exhibits antibiotic activity through blockade of ribosome turnover after an elongation step in protein synthesis by inhibiting both the dissociation of elongation factor G (EF-G) from the ribosome and the release of inorganic phosphate from EF-G following GTP hydrolysis. Thiostrepton is also described to show efficacy against cancer cell growth through downregulation of the forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) transcription factor, overexpressed in many malignancies. Additionally, it is an inhibitor of FOXM1.

What are the storage conditions once dissolved in DMSO?

Asked by: chemsd02
Thank you for your question. sc-203412 (Thiostrepton, CAS 1393-48-2) should be stored at -20ºC and protected from light and moisture. The shelf life once post reconstitution is about 3 months.
