Molecular Formula:C6H7N5 Molecular Weight:149.15 Purity:≥98% Grade:Pharmaceutical Grade Appearance:White to White w/ Yellow Cast Powder Application:3-Methyladenine (3-MA) is used to inhibit and study the mechanism of autophagy (lysosomal self-degradation) and apoptosis under various conditions. 3-MA inhibits autophagy by blocking autophagosome formation via the inhibition of type III Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI-3K). For use as an autophagy inhibitor, 3-MA is typically used at a concentration of 5 mM. Storage Conditions:Store at +4°C |
