Product Description

Importazole is a 2,4-diaminoquinazoline that was found in a high-throughput small molecule screen for FRET-based compounds that interfere with the interaction between importin-β and RanGTP. Importazole is a small molecule inhibitor of the transport receptor importin-β that specifically prevents importin-β-mediated nuclear import. In vitro, it is a potent importin-β/Ran interaction inhibitor. Importazole specifically prevents importin-β-mediated nuclear import from occurring in both Xenopus egg extracts and cultured cells, while leaving transportin- and CRM1-mediated nuclear import and export unaffected. Importazole interferes with the release of an importin-β-cargo FRET probe and leads to both anticipated and unanticipated defects in spindle assembly when added during mitosis. Importazole is a useful tool for assessing the role of the importin-β-/RanGTP pathway at particular cell cycle stages.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
importin-β
ln Vitro
In vitro, importazole is a potent inhibitor of the Ran/importin-β interaction. Importazole specifically prevents importin-β-mediated nuclear import from occurring in both Xenopus egg extracts and cultured cells, without disrupting transportin-mediated nuclear import or CRM1-mediated nuclear export. Importazole interferes with the release of an importin-β cargo FRET probe and leads to both anticipated and unanticipated defects in spindle assembly when added during mitosis[1]. By blocking the NF-κB signal pathway in vitro, it also prevents multiple myeloma cells from proliferating and causes them to undergo apoptosis[2].
ln Vivo

Enzyme Assay
Importazole, a 2,4-diaminoquinazoline identified from a FRET-based, high-throughput small molecule screen for compounds that interfere with the interaction between RanGTP and importin-β, is a small molecule inhibitor of the transport receptor importin-β that specifically blocks importin-β-mediated nuclear import. It is an effective inhibitor of the Ran/importin-β interaction in vitro.
Cell Assay
HEK 293 cells stably expressing NFAT-GFP are grown on glass coverslips to approximately 50% confluency prior to drug treatment. Leptomycin B is administered at 10 ng/mL and importazole is always used at a concentration of 40 M. A 0.4% concentration of DMSO is used as a control. 1.25 μM of ionomycin is added. Treatments with importazole and leptomycin B last an hour each. Prior to fluorescence microscopy, cells are fixed with 4% formaldehyde in all experiments. With 1 g/mL Hoechst dye, DNA is seen. The percentage of 100 cells from each condition that exhibit nuclear accumulation of NFAT-GFP is calculated[1] for quantification.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: ~63 mg/mL (~197.9 mM)
Water: <1 mg/mL
Ethanol: ~31 mg/mL (~97.4 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.85 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.85 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

5 mM 0.6281 mL 3.1405 mL 6.2810 mL
10 mM 0.3141 mL 1.5703 mL 3.1405 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
