FLN enhances autophagic influx and N-Ras translocation to autophagosomes. Cells co-transfected with mCherry-N-Ras and EGFP-LC3 are imaged by confocal microscopy after FLN treatment.
Flunarizine dihydrochloride purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Sci Rep. 2018 Nov 16;8(1):16932. [Abstract]
SUM149PT cells are first treated with FLN as in panel-A, followed by autophagy inhibitors 3-MA (5 mM), chloroquine (20 μM) or bafilomycin A1 (20 nM) for another 24 hours. The proteasome inhibitor MG132 (15 μM) is included as a negative control to show unabated N-Ras reduction. The cells are then harvested and analyzed by Western blot.

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 (5.24 mM); Clear solution
