DABMA
DABMA is a TMEM175 channel activator with a human EC50 of 17.9 μM. DABMA directly increases TMEM175 channel current via interaction with intracellular, transmembrane, or endosomal lumen-associated domains, and does not alter TMEM175 mRNA or protein levels. DABMA delays endolysosomal substrate degradation, modulates endolysosomal trafficking, increases acidic organelle accumulation, induces cholesterol accumulation and altered late endosome morphology. DABMA can be used for the research of coronavirus disease, Clostridium difficile infection, Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, rabies, and influenza virus infection.

DABMA (5 min bath solution) directly activates hTMEM175 channels in isolated endosomes from HEK293T cells with an EC50 of 17.9 μM, acting via extracellular/cytosolic or transmembrane domains without altering channel expression levels[1].
DABMA (15-30 μM; 20 h) has protective activity against diphtheria toxin (DT) cytotoxicity in A549 cells that is significantly attenuated by TMEM175 depletion, with protection factors decreasing from 6.2 to 3.5 at 15 μM and from 75.7 to 28.8 at 30 μM[1].
DABMA (30 μM; 24 h) has protective activity against toxin B from Clostridium difficile (TcsL)-induced cell rounding in Vero cells that is significantly attenuated by TMEM175 depletion, reducing cell rounding to only 83.0% in knockdown cells compared to 54.6% in control cells[1].
DABMA (30 μM; 5 h) delays endolysosomal degradation of DQ-BSA (HY-D2449), an ability that is significantly attenuated by TMEM175 depletion, reducing the compound's inhibitory effect by approximately 40% compared to control cells[1].
DABMA (30 μM; 6 h) significantly increases LysoTracker Green fluorescence intensity in TMEM175 WT HeLa cells, but this effect is completely abolished in TMEM175 KO HeLa cells, with no impact on mitochondrial staining in either cell type[1].
DABMA (30 μM; 6 h) significantly increases Rab7 signal intensity in TMEM175 WT HeLa cells, but this effect is abolished in TMEM175 KO HeLa cells where basal Rab7 levels are already elevated[1].

DABMA inhibits DT-induced cytotoxicity in Vero, PC3, A431, DLD1, and primary HUVEC cells with consistent activity, demonstrating non-cell-type-specific efficacy[2].

DABMA (range; 72 h) exhibits cytotoxicity in MDCK cells with a CC50 of 42.71 µM and in A549 cells with a CC50 of 47.42 µM[3].
DABMA (5 h pre-incubation) potently inhibits influenza virus-induced CPE in MDCK cells with EC50 values ranging from 1.82 µM to 6.73 µM across amantadine-sensitive, amantadine-resistant, and influenza B virus strains[3].
DABMA (3.75-15 µM; 5 h pre-incubation) dose-dependently reduces viral titers of A/NY/61/LV16A (H1N1) and A/17/HK/2014/8296 (H3N2) in MDCK and A549 cells after 5 h pre-incubation and 48 h of infection, with significant reductions observed at 3.75, 7.5, and 15 µM[3].
DABMA (15 µM; 5 h pre-incubation) inhibits H1N1 (A/NY/61/LV16A) genomic RNA replication by 86.51% and reduces NP synthesis in MDCK cells, and significantly decreases NP fluorescence intensity in infected A549 cells after 5 h pre-incubation and 16 h of infection[3].
DABMA (15 µM) impairs early stages of H1N1 (A/NY/61/LV16A) infection in MDCK cells by inhibiting viral entry, without affecting virus binding to cells[3].
