Ordering Information

Biological Activity

NCT-501 is a potent and selective inhibitor of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) with an IC50 of. By blocking ALDH1A1 enzymatic function, NCT-501 effectively reduces intracellular ALDH activity, downregulates stemness-associated signaling pathways, and inhibits cancer stem cell-like phenotypes, including self-renewal, colony formation, and spheroid growth across multiple cancer cell lines.

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).
