Description: Fumagillin (formerly known as NSC9168) is a novel, potent, selective and irreversible/covalent inhibitor of Methionine aminopeptidase 2 (MetAP2), it is primarily used as an antibiotic / antimicrobial to treat microsporidiosis. Fumagillin is a complex natural product antibiotic isolated in 1949 from the microbial organism Aspergillus fumigatus. It covalently binds a key histidine residue of methionine aminopeptidase type II (MetAP-2), inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis. Fumagillin selectively inhibits the growth of a Δmap1 strain but not a wild-type or a Δmap2 S. cerevisiae strain missing MetAP-2.

ProtocolIn VitroIn vitro activity: Fumagillin selectively inhibits the growth of a Δmap1 strain but not a wild-type or a Δmap2 S. cerevisiae strain missing MetAP-2. In budding yeast cells, as a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis, Fumagillin not only reverses the growth inhibitory activity of Vpr, but also inhibits Vpr-dependent viral gene expression upon the infection of human macrophages. Though the toxicity of fumagillin has limited its use for human applications, the analogues using structure-activity relationships relating to its angiogenesis properties may be further explored in the treatment of angiogenesis-dependent diseases.
In VivoIn DEN-treated rats, fumagillin (30 mg/kg, i.p.) inhibits both progression of HCC in the liver itself and systemic metastasis.

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in µL DMSO(Master liquid concentration mg/mL) ,Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take µL DMSO master liquid, next add µL PEG300, mix and clarify, next add µL Tween 80,mix and clarify, next add µL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
Note:
  • (1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
  • (2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
