Ordering Information

Biological Activity

MLN120B is a potent, selective, and ATP-competitive inhibitor of IKKβ. By blocking IKKβ activity, MLN120B prevents the phosphorylation and degradation of IκBα, thereby suppressing downstream NF-κB pathway activation and nuclear translocation. This inhibition leads to the downregulation of anti-apoptotic proteins, suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion, and inhibition of cell proliferation in multiple myeloma cells. [1]

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).
