| Bioactivity | Pitstop 2 is a clathrin inhibitor which inhibits clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) by associating with the terminal domain of clathrin. Pitstop 2 has the potential for anti-cancer research[1][2]. |
| Invitro | Pitstop 2 (20-40 μM; 30 min) inhibits the endocytosis of transferrin in J774A.1 macrophages and does not compromise cell viability[1].Pitstop 2 (20-40 μM; 30 min) does not affect the internalization of cholera toxin B in J774A.1 macrophages[1].Pitstop 2 (0.001-100 μM; 6 h) inhibits the mitotic spindle and impairs mitotic progression in HeLa cells[2].Pitstop 2 (1-30 μM; 24 h) induces apoptosis and inhibits cell growth in dividing cancer cells[2].Pitstop 2 (1-30 μM; 48 h) does not affect the growth and viability of non-tumourigenic NIH3T3 fibroblasts[2].
