Bz-423 induces a larger superoxide response in Ramos cells, and causes rapid death of Ramos B cells. Bz-423 activates Bax and Bak, but does not activate ASK1/JNK in Ramos cells. In Ramos cells Bz-423-induced superoxide leads to Bax and Bak activation via changes in Mcl-1 expression and functional activation of BH3-only proteins[1]. Bz-423 rapidly increases superoxide levels in MEFs within 1 h and the magnitude of the increase is concentration-dependent. Bz-423-induced apoptosis dependents upon superoxide[2].

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : ≥ 125 mg/mL (283.50 mM; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
* "≥" means soluble, but saturation unknown.
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 2 years; -20°C, 1 year. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 2 years. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 year.

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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.72 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.

Method for preparing stock solution: mg drug dissolved in μL DMSO. Stock solution concentration: mg/mL.
1. Take μL DMSO stock solution;
2. Add μL .
μL , mix evenly;
3. Then add μL Tween 80, mix evenly;
4. Then add μL
Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.
Protocol
To detect ASK1 activity, inactive GST-MKK6 (0.1 mg) is incubated (15 min, 25°C) with immunoprecipitated ASK1 in kinase assay buffer. Subsequently, GST-p38α (0.5 µg) is added to this reaction and incubated (15 min, 25°C) followed by detection of phospho-GST-p38 via immunoblot.
