Description
1-(3,6-DIBROMO-9H-CARBAZOL-9-YL)-3-(DIMETHYLAMINO)PROPAN-2-OL, also known as Wiskostatin, is a dibrominated carbazole with a chiral hydroxyl group and a terminal tertiary amine. It is a selective, reversible inhibitor of neural Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (N-WASP) activity, binding to the regulatory domain of N-WASP and inhibiting the activation of the Arp2/3 complex. Wiskostatin has been shown to inhibit PIP2-induced actin polymerization and perturb agrin-elicited acetylcholine receptor clustering.
Uses
Used in Cellular and Molecular Research:
1-(3,6-DIBROMO-9H-CARBAZOL-9-YL)-3-(DIMETHYLAMINO)PROPAN-2-OL is used as a small-molecule inhibitor for investigating the role of N-WASP in various cellular processes. It is particularly useful in studying the effects of N-WASP on actin polymerization, receptor clustering, and synapse formation.
Used in Human Osteosarcoma U2OS Cells and Mouse-Tail Fibroblast Cell Lines:
1-(3,6-DIBROMO-9H-CARBAZOL-9-YL)-3-(DIMETHYLAMINO)PROPAN-2-OL is used as a neural (N)-WASP inhibitor to study the effects of N-WASP inhibition on cellular processes in human osteosarcoma U2OS cells and mouse-tail fibroblast cell lines.
Used in Cultured Neurons and Human Embryonic Kidney (HEK293) Cells Expressing HA-Parkin:
1-(3,6-DIBROMO-9H-CARBAZOL-9-YL)-3-(DIMETHYLAMINO)PROPAN-2-OL is used as a neural (N)-WASP inhibitor to investigate the role of N-WASP in the formation of dendritic spines and synapses in hippocampal neurons, as well as its effects on the actin-related protein 2/3 complex (Arp 2/3) in the context of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling.
Used in Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Cells:
1-(3,6-DIBROMO-9H-CARBAZOL-9-YL)-3-(DIMETHYLAMINO)PROPAN-2-OL is used as a neural (N)-WASP inhibitor in DRG cells to further explore the effects of N-WASP on cellular processes and its potential role in various cellular signaling pathways.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Wiskostatin is a selective inhibitor of N-WASP, a ubiquitously expressed member of the Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome protein (WASp) family that regulates actin polymerization. Wiskostatin inhibits actin-dependent cellular functions, including migration, transmembrane transport and phagocytosis.

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 253449-04-6 includes 9 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 6 digits, 2,5,3,4,4 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 4 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 253449-04:
(8*2)+(7*5)+(6*3)+(5*4)+(4*4)+(3*9)+(2*0)+(1*4)=136
136 % 10 = 6
So 253449-04-6 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
