BAM 15 is able to increase O2 consumption across a broad dosing range without increasing ROS. BAM 15 and FCCP are structurally unrelated and it is observed that low doses of BAM 15 from 100 nM to 1 μM increase cellular O2 consumption rate (OCR) to a similar degree as FCCP, but higher concentrations from 1 μM to 50 μM reveal that BAM 15 is able to maintain uncoupled respiration at a high rate in a range of cell lines. BAM 15 is fully capable of increasing mitochondrial respiration in the presence of oligomycin and does so across a broader concentration range than FCCP in both myoblasts and hepatocytes. BAM 15 induces mitochondrial swelling, demonstrating that BAM 15 is a protonophore. BAM15-treated cells are more viable than FCCP-treated cells when administered across a broad dosing range up to 50 μM[1].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.35 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

Protocol
Electron flow assays are performed. Briefly, 5 μg of mitochondrial protein in MAS is loaded into a 24-well tissue culture plate and centrifuged at 2000×g for 15 min at 4°C. Prior to the assay, mitochondria are incubated at 37°C for 10 mins in MAS containing 10 mM pyruvate, 2 mM malate, and 5 μM BAM 15 or FCCP. Rotenone (2 μM), succinate (10 mM), antimycin A (4 μM), and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD, 100 μM) plus ascorbate (10 mM) are added sequentially as indicated in the figure. N=3 wells/plate of a representative of 3 plates[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
L6 cells are incubated with the fluorescent indicator of mitochondrial membrane potential tetramethylrhodamine (TMRM, 125 nM) or DMSO (1%) control for 30 min. The cells are then centrifuged for 5 min at 700×g and resuspended in unbuffered DMEM at a concentration of 1×105 cells/mL. The cells are then treated with BAM 15 or DMSO (0.1%) for 10 min prior to flow cytometric analysis[1].
