Handling Instructions Technical Support

Thiolutin (Acetopyrrothin) is a sulfur-containing antibiotic, which is a potent inhibitor of bacterial and yeast RNA polymerases. Thiolutin can be produced by Streptomyces. Thiolutin inhibits AMSH (IC50 = 4 μM) and Rpn11 (IC50 = 0.53 μM). Thiolutin is a dual inhibitor of BRCC36 and the NLRP3 inflammasome, exhibiting anti-inflammatory effects. Thiolutin effectively suppresses the interaction between BRCC36 and HMGCR, leading to the inhibition of HCC growth. Thiolutin attenuates pyroptosis and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Thiolutin markedly alleviates renal injury and inflammatory process in IgAN. Thiolutin is an anti-angiogenic compound which can ease Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DOXIC)[1][2][3][4][5].

Description

Thiolutin (Acetopyrrothin) is a sulfur-containing antibiotic, which is a potent inhibitor of bacterial and yeast RNA polymerases. Thiolutin can be produced by Streptomyces. Thiolutin inhibits AMSH (IC50 = 4 μM) and Rpn11 (IC50 = 0.53 μM). Thiolutin is a dual inhibitor of BRCC36 and the NLRP3 inflammasome, exhibiting anti-inflammatory effects. Thiolutin effectively suppresses the interaction between BRCC36 and HMGCR, leading to the inhibition of HCC growth. Thiolutin attenuates pyroptosis and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Thiolutin markedly alleviates renal injury and inflammatory process in IgAN. Thiolutin is an anti-angiogenic compound which can ease Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DOXIC)[1][2][3][4][5].

In Vitro

Thiolutin (0.5-2 μM, 24 h) significantly inhibits the expression of BRCC36 and HMGCR proteins in a dose-dependent manner in HepG2 and Hep3B cells[1].

Thiolutin (0-24 h) attenuates the interaction between HMGCR and BRCC36 in HepG2 cells and reduces the half-life of the HMGCR protein while increasing its ubiquitination level in both HepG2 and Hep3B cells[1].

Thiolutin (0.1-10 μM, 48 h) inhibits the proliferation of HepG2 and Hep3B cells dose-dependently[1].

Thiolutin (0.25-0.5 μM, 14 days) elevates RSL3 (HY-100218A)-induced cell death and RSL3-triggered lipid peroxidation in HepG2 cells[1].

Thiolutin (25-250 nM) inhibits the LDH release induced by LPS (HY-D1056) and Nigericin (HY-127019)[1].

Thiolutin (0.5 μM, 14 days) reduces the colony-forming ability of HepG2 cancer cells in the presence of Lovastatin (HY-N0504) (5 μM)[1].

Thiolutin (50 μM, 0-120 min) induces global transcriptional stress in Neurospora[2].

Thiolutin (50 μM, 1-4 h) inhibits protein degradation by the proteasome in N.crassa and HeLa cells[2].

Thiolutin (0.001-100 μM) inhibits AMSH with an IC50 of 4 μM, which is higher than its inhibition of Rpn11 (IC50 = 0.53 μM), and this effect is reversible by Zn(cyclen)²⁺[2].

Thiolutin (10-50 nM, 30 min) attenuates pyroptosis and NLRP3 inflammasome activation in J774 A.1 murine monocyte-macrophage cells[3].

In Vivo

Thiolutin (0.5-5 mg/kg, i.p., every 2 days for 4 weeks) alleviates kidney injury, attenuates renal inflammation and modulates the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway in IgAN mice without hepatotoxic effects[3].

Thiolutin (1 mg/kg, i.p., once daily for 4 weeks ) improves cardiac function, mitigates cardiac remodeling urged by Doxorubicin (DOX) and restrains the NLRP3 inflammasome activation in DOX‑challenged mice[4].

In Vivo:

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.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: 1.25 mg/mL (5.48 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 1.25 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (12.5 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.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
