Ordering Information

Biological Activity

PD 98059 is a selective, non-ATP competitive MEK inhibitor that suppresses MEK1 (IC50 of and MEK2 (IC50 of activation. By preventing the phosphorylation and activation of MEK by upstream kinases, it blocks downstream MAPK/ERK pathway signaling. This inhibition suppresses cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation without directly inhibiting ERK1 or ERK2. [1][2]

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
