General description

A cell-permeable 3-methyladenine (3-MA) derivative that acts as an autophagy inhibitor via the inhibition of class III PI3K, and without touching class I PI3K. Shown to block 80% of starvation-induced autophagy at 1 mM (IC50 = 0.67 mM, compared with 3-MA at 6 mM). Displays much better solubility than 3-MA (5 times more soluble in water and 30 times more soluble in DMSO). Also found to reduce cell viability by 55% at 1 mM at 12 hours compared with 72% reduction for 3-MA at 10 mM.

Please note that the molecular weight for this compound is lot-specific due to variable water content.
