The Uses of 3-METHYLADENINE
3-Methyladenine (3-MA) inhibits autophagy by blocking autophagosome formation via the inhibition of type III Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI-3K). For use as an autophagy inhibitor, 3-MA is typically used at a concentration of 5 mM.
The Uses of 3-METHYLADENINE
A multi-use inhibitor that protects cerebellar granule cells from apoptosis.
The Uses of 3-METHYLADENINE
A synthetic intermediate and a cell-permeable autophagic sequestration blocker that protects cerebellar granule cells from apoptosis post serum/potassium deprivation
What are the applications of Application
Autophagy Inhibitor, 3-MA is a multi-use inhibitor that inhibits autophagy by blocking autophagosome formation via the inhibition of type III Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases.
Definition
ChEBI: A methyladenine that is adenine substituted with a methyl group at position N-3.
General Description
A widely used cell-permeable autophagic sequestration blocker that effectly protects cerebellar granule cells from apoptosis following serum/potassium deprivation. Although a known class III PI3K inhibitor (IC50 = 4.5 mM in cell-free enzymatic assays), 3-MA exhibits quite distinct pharmacological properties from those of two other PI3K inhibitors, LY 294002 (Cat. Nos. 440202 and 440204) and Wortmannin (Cat. No. 681675)
Biochem/physiol Actions
3-Methyladenine (3-MA) is used to inhibit and study the mechanism of autophagy (lysosomal self-degradation) and apoptosis under various conditions. 3-MA inhibits autophagy by blocking autophagosome formation via the inhibition of type III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI-3K).
