Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Bay 11-7085 is an irreversible inhibitor of TNFα-induced IκBα phosphorylation (IC50 = 10 μM). By blocking IκBα phosphorylation, it prevents nuclear translocation and activation of the NF-kB transcription factor pathway. This inhibition leads to reduced expression of downstream inflammatory targets, including endothelial adhesion molecules, and suppresses cell proliferation while promoting apoptosis, making it a useful tool for studying NF-kB signaling mechanisms.

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).
