Vacuolin-1
Based on 12 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Vacuolin-1 is a potent and cell-permeable lysosomal exocytosis inhibitor. Vacuolin-1 blocks the Ca2+-dependent exocytosis of lysosomes and prevents the release of lysosomal content without affecting the process of resealing. vacuolin‐1 is a potent and selective PIKfyve inhibitor and inhibits late‐stage autophagy by impairing lysosomal maturation. Vacuolin-1 can induce vacuole formation and increase the percentage of enucleated cells.

Vacuolin-1 (1 μM; Pretreatment 1 hour) blocks ionomycin-induced exocytosis of lysosomes but not of enlargeosomes. It results in vacuolation of lysosomes (A) and complete inhibition of the surface expression of Lamp-1[1]. Vacuolin-1 (1 μM; 20-180 min) disrupts the segregation of inner and limiting membranes characteristic of endosomes and lysosomes. Ultrastructural analysis also shows that vacuolin-1 favours fusion of inner and limiting membranes[1]. Vacuolin-1 (5 or 10 μM; 2 hours) blocks the Ca2+-dependent release of β-hexosaminidase from lysosomes. In HeLa cells, ionomycin results in the expected release of 18-20% of lysosomal β-hexosaminidase. But when cells pretreated with vacuolin-1, releases no more β-hexosaminidase compared with cells that are not exposed to ionomycin (4%)[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Inhibition of endosomal trafficking reduces HTLV-1 infection. SLB-1 cells were treated with DMSO, 10 μM EGA, 10 μM Vacuolin-1 (Vac-1) or 1 μM apilimod (Api) for 4 h prior to co-culture with CHOK1-Luc cells. The results showed that Vacuolin-1 significantly reduced the infectivity of HTLV-1 in cells. The graph shows luciferase assay results averaged from three replicates for each condition of a single experiment and are representative of three independent experiments; ** p<0.01.
