A cell-permeable necrosis inhibitor that displays antioxidant property. It localizes mostly in the mitochondria. Selectively blocks oxidative stress-induced necrotic cell death (0.1uM NecroX-2 prevented ~50% cell death in H9C2 cells exposed to 400uM t-BuOOH for 2 hours). Does not protect against staurosporine or etoposide-induced apoptosis. Protects cells against cold shock, hypoxia and oxidative stress in vitro.Formula:C25H32N4O4S2Solubility:DMSO (~10mg/ml)Molecular Weight:~516.67Storage and Stability:Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile buffer or dH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
