Actividad biológica
Importazole specifically blocks importin-β-mediated nuclear import both in Xenopus egg extracts and cultured cells, without disrupting transportin-mediated nuclear import or CRM1-mediated nuclear export. Importazole impairs the release of an importin-β cargo FRET probe and causes both predicted and novel defects in spindle assembly[1]. Importazole displays an IC50 of approximately 15 μM for inhibition of NFAT-GFP import. Importazole has an IC50 of approximately 22.5 μM in HeLa cells following treatment over a 24-hour period[1]. Importazole induces a dose-and time-dependent inhibition of myeloma cells growth. And the IC50 values of importazole on RPMI 8226 and NCI-H929 after 48 hours incubation are (4.43±0.41) and (4.78±0.35) μmol/L, respectively. Treatment of RPMI 8226 and NCI-H929 cells with 8 μmol/L importazole for 24 h could inhibit NF-κB import to nucleus and reduce its DNA binding activity[2].

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.

Protocolo
HEK 293 cells stably expressing NFAT-GFP are grown on glass coverslips to approximately 50% confluency prior to drug treatment. In all cases, importazole is used at 40 μM and leptomycin B is used at 10 ng/mL. For controls, DMSO is used at a concentration of 0.4%. Ionomycin is added at 1.25 μM. Importazole and leptomycin B treatments are all for 1 hour. In all experiments cells are fixed with 4% formaldehyde prior to fluorescence microscopy. DNA is visualized with 1 μg/mL Hoechst dye. For quantification, 100 cells from each condition are analyzed and the percentage that shows nuclear accumulation of NFAT-GFP are calculated[1].
