| Bioactivity | Thapsigargin, an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress inducer, is an inhibitor of microsomal Ca2+-ATPase. Thapsigargin efficiently inhibits coronavirus (HCoV-229E, MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2) replication in different cell types[1][2][3][4][5]. |
| Invitro | Thapsigargin (0.001- 1 μM; for 2 and 4 days) arrests cell proliferations in MH7A human rheumatoid arthritis synovial cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner[2].Thapsigargin (0.001- 1 μM; for 2 and 4 days) induces cell apoptosis in MH7A cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner[2]. Thapsigargin (0.001- 1 μM; for 2 and 4 days) impairs mTOR activity and leads to cyclin D1 expressions in MH7A cells[2]. Thapsigargin inhibits Ca2+ entry into human neutrophil granulocytes[1].Thapsigargin inhibits the carbachol-evoked [Ca2+]i-transients with (IC50=0.353 nM) or without (IC50=0.448 nM) a KCl-prestimulation, but an additional small component, with a much lower sensitivity (IC50=4814 nM), is observed in the absence of a KCl-prestimulation. In contrast, the KCl-evoked [Ca2+]i-transients displayed only one component with a very low sensitivity to Thapsigargin in both absence (IC50=3343 nM) and presence (IC50=6858 nM) of a carbachol-prestimulation[3].Thapsigargin also phosphorylate p38 MAPK by Ca2+ influx through SOCE, leading to suppression of TNF-α-induced NF-κB phosphorylation.[6].
