Pitstop 2d
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Pitstop 2d is a clathrin (Clathrin) terminal domain (TD) inhibitor with an IC50 of 1.7 μM. Pitstop 2d occupies the Clathrin box binding site within the clathrin TD, blocking the binding of endocytic protein ligands such as Epsin to clathrin. Pitstop 2d inhibits clathrin-mediated endocytosis (Endocytosis) and the cellular entry of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Pitstop 2d has low cytotoxicity, does not disrupt the nuclear permeability barrier, and does not inhibit clathrin-independent endocytosis. Pitstop 2d can be used in studies related to endocytosis and vesicular stomatitis virus infection.

Biological Activity
IC50: <2 μM (Clathrin TD)[1]
Pitstop 2d potently inhibits the interaction between purified clathrin terminal domain and amphiphysin B/C domain in cell-free ELISA assays, with an IC50 of 1.7 μM[1].
Pitstop 2d (25-100 μM; 8-20 h) exhibits only extremely low cytotoxicity in HEK293 and Cos7 cells[1].
Pitstop 2d (30 μM; 15 min) does not disrupt the nuclear permeability barrier in HeLa cells[1].
Pitstop 2d (13-45 μM; 15 min preincubation followed by 15 min transferrin uptake; 4 h washout) inhibits clathrin-mediated transferrin endocytosis in HeLa, HEK293T and Cos7 cells, with an IC50 of 13 μM in HeLa cells, and its inhibitory effect is reversible after washout[1].
Pitstop 2d significantly reduces the proportion of dynamic clathrin-coated pits in Cos7 cells expressing eGFP-clathrin light chain α, shifting CCP dynamics toward long-lived structures[1].
Pitstop 2d interferes with clathrin dynamics in the perinuclear region of Cos7 cells expressing eGFP-clathrin light chain α, reducing the maximum fluorescence recovery rate after photobleaching to 37.6%[1].
Pitstop 2d (45 μM; 15 min preincubation followed by 60 min dextran uptake) does not inhibit fluid-phase endocytosis of Alexa488-labeled dextran in HeLa cells[1].
Pitstop 2d binds to the clathrin box site of the purified clathrin terminal domain in an extended conformation, forming a specific and stable interaction[1].
Pitstop 2d (100 μM; 1 h) reduces the binding level between clathrin and Epsin 1 in Cos7 cells expressing eGFP-clathrin light chain α, while increasing the binding level between clathrin and SNX9, but has no effect on most other early-acting endocytic proteins[1].
Pitstop 2d (15 min) increases the total number of clathrin-coated structures on the plasma membrane of BS-C-1 cells, causes the accumulation of shallow clathrin-coated pits, but does not alter the diameter of free clathrin-coated vesicles[1].
Pitstop 2d (20 μM; 15 min preincubation followed by 1 h virus infection) inhibits over 60% of VSV entry into Vero-E6 cells, confirming that clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) is the primary pathway for efficient VSV cellular entry[1].

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.14 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
