Thapsigargin is an inhibitor of microsomal Ca2+-ATPase, Thapsigargin inhibits the carbachol-evoked [Ca2+]i-transients with IC50 value of 0.353 nM[1].
Thapsigargin may induce cell apoptosis in MH7A cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner, and the percentages of cell death reached 44.6% at thapsigargin concentration of 1 μM treated for 4 days compared to the control. The protein and mRNA levels of cyclin D1 decreased gradually with the increasing of thapsigargin concentration and treatment times[2].
In regards to vivo results, tunicamycin is superior in not only inducing ER stress but also recapturing the metabolic alterations associated with ER stress[3].

Cell lines
NG115-401L neural cell line, isolated rat hepatocytes
Preparation method
The solubility of this compound in DMSO is > 10 mM. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 ℃ for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below -20℃ for several months.
Reacting condition
ED50: ~20 nM (NG115-401L neural cell line); ED50 ~80 nM (isolated rat hepatocytes)
Applications
Thapsigargin stimulated a rapid (within 15 s) transient increase in intracellular [Ca2+] in the NG115-401L neural cell line with the ED50 of around 20 nM. In isolated rat hepatocytes, Thapsigargin increased [Ca2+] in a rapid and dose-dependent manner, with an ED50 value of ~80 nM.
Animal models
Male C57BL/6 mice with transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO)
Dosage form
IC50: 2 to 20 ng, icv injection
Application
Thapsigargin dose-dependently reduced the brain infarct. Thapsigargin (TG) protected mice against ischemia-reperfusion-induced brain injury.
Other notes
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal.
