FM04 is a potent P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitor (EC50=83 nM). FM04 inhibits P-gp in 2 mechanism: (1)FM04 binds to Q1193, followed by interacting with the functionally critical residues H1195 and T1226; or (2)FM04 binds to I1115 (a functionally critical residue itself), disrupting the R262-Q1081-Q1118 interaction pocket and uncoupling ICL2-NBD2 interaction and thereby inhibiting P-gp.

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.
