Biological Activity for Anisomycin

Anisomycin is a protein synthesis inhibitor (blocks translation). Potent activator of stress-activated protein kinases (JNK/SAPK) and p38 MAP kinase. Acts as a potent signaling agonist to selectively elicit homologous desensitization of immediate early gene induction (c-fos, fosB, c-jun, junB and junD).

Preparing Stock Solutions for Anisomycin

The following data is based on the product molecular weight 265.31.

Batch specific molecular weights may vary from batch to batch due to the degree of hydration, which will affect the solvent volumes required to prepare stock solutions.

Select a batch to recalculate based on the batch molecular weight:

Concentration / Solvent Volume / Mass	1 mg	5 mg	10 mg
1 mM	3.77 mL	18.85 mL	37.69 mL
5 mM	0.75 mL	3.77 mL	7.54 mL
10 mM	0.38 mL	1.88 mL	3.77 mL
50 mM	0.08 mL	0.38 mL	0.75 mL
