Description

2BAct is a highly selective, and orally active eIF2B (eukaryotic initiation factor 2B) activator with an EC50 of 33 nM. 2BAct prevents neurological defects caused by a chronic integrated stress response. 2BAct is able to penetrate the central nervous system (CNS). 2BAct displays improved solubility and pharmacokinetics relative to eIF2B activator ISRIB trans-isomer (HY-12495)[1].

IC50 & Target

eIF2

 

In Vitro

Primary fibroblast lysates from R191H embryos has lower GEF activity than WT lysates, and 2BAct enhances this activity threefold (EC50=7.3 nM)[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

2BAct (300 μg 2BAct/g of meal; 21 weeks) normalizes body weight gain in VWM mice[1].
2BAct prevents the appearance of motor deficits, myelin loss and reactive gliosis in VWM mice[1].
2BAct stimulates the remaining activity of mutant eIF2B complex in vivo, abrogating the maladaptive stress response[1].

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: ≥ 5 mg/mL (11.34 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 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.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (11.34 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

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.
