  3. BMS493

BMS493 is an inverse pan-retinoic acid receptor (RAR) agonist. BMS493 increases nuclear corepressor interaction with RARs. BMS493 also could prevent retinoic acid-induced differentiation. BMS493 is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.

    Description

    BMS493 is an inverse pan-retinoic acid receptor (RAR) agonist. BMS493 increases nuclear corepressor interaction with RARs. BMS493 also could prevent retinoic acid-induced differentiation[1][2]. BMS493 is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.

    In Vitro

    BMS493 (100 nM; 6 days; ALDHhi UCB cells) treatment shows a twofold increase in the number of ALDHhi cells available for transplantation compared with untreated controls. Newly expanded ALDHhi cells shows increased numbers of CD34 and CD133-positive cells, as well as a reduction in CD38 expression, a marker of hematopoietic cell differentiation[1].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    Cell Viability Assay[1]

    Cell Line: ALDHhi UCB cells
    Concentration: 100 nM
    Incubation Time: 6 days
    Result: Showed a twofold increase in the number of ALDHhi cells available for transplantation compared with untreated controls.
    In Vivo

    Intrapancreatic transplantation of cell progeny after expansion of ALDHhi cells with or without BMS493 shows no reduction of hyperglycemia in Streptozotocin-treated NOD/SCID mice. Thus, Umbilical cord blood (UCB)-derived ALDHhi cells effectively lost islet regenerative capacity during ex vivo expansion[1].

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
