Indophagolin is a potent, indoline-containing autophagy inhibitor (IC50=140 nM). Indophagolin antagonizes the purinergic receptor P2X4 as well as P2X1 and P2X3 with IC50s of 2.71, 2.40 and 3.49 μM, respectively. Indophagolin also antagonizes the Gq-protein-coupled P2Y4, P2Y6, and P2Y11 receptors (IC50s =3.4~15.4 μM). Indophagolin has a strong antagonistic effect on serotonin receptor 5-HT6 (IC50=1.0 μM) and a moderate effect on receptors 5-HT1B, 5-HT2B, 5-HT4e, and 5-HT7.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
