2BAct
Based on 4 publication(s) in Google Scholar
2BAct is a highly selective, orally active, and CNS-penetrant eIF2B (eukaryotic initiation factor 2B) activator with an EC50 of 33 nM. 2BAct prevents neurological defects caused by a chronic integrated stress response. 2BAct displays improved solubility and pharmacokinetics relative to eIF2B activator ISRIB trans-isomer (HY-12495).

Biological Activity
|
eIF2 |
Primary fibroblast lysates from R191H embryos has lower GEF activity than WT lysates, and 2BAct enhances this activity threefold (EC50=7.3 nM)[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
2BAct prevents the appearance of motor deficits, myelin loss and reactive gliosis in VWM mice[1].
2BAct stimulates the remaining activity of mutant eIF2B complex in vivo, abrogating the maladaptive stress response[1].

HEK293 cells were pretreated with 1 μM A-92, 2 μM 2B-Act, or vehicle for 30 min and then 50 nM Gcn2iB was added for 6 h. Protein lysates were prepared and the levels of total and p-Gcn2 (T899), total and p-eIF2α (S51), Atf4, and actin were measured by immunoblot analyses.
Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : 100 mg/mL (226.86 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
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, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (protect from light). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.

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: ≥ 5 mg/mL (11.34 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 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.
