Tetraethylammonium chloride is a non-selective voltage-gated potassium channel blocker that exhibits antitumor activity. By inhibiting membrane potassium efflux, it disrupts membrane potential homeostasis and impairs cell cycle progression in cancer cells. Furthermore, potassium channel blockade mediated by this compound suppresses cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis across various tumor cell types.

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).
