Biological Activity
Apilimod dimesylate is a potent and selective PIKfyve inhibitor. It exhibits no significant activity at other lipid kinases and protein kinases, including PIP4K, PIP5K, mTOR, PI3K and PI4K. Apilimod dimesylate inhibits cellular entry by SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV and MHV S pseudovirions. It reduces the number of SARS-CoV-2-infected hiPSC-derived pneumocyte-like cells by 85% and inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication in donor lung tissue. It also exhibits selective cytotoxicity in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma compared with normal cells and inhibits production of IL-12 and IL-23. Apilimod dimesylate is also anti-inflammatory and water-soluble.
Safety & Regulatory
For Research Use Only (RUO). Not for therapeutic, diagnostic, or clinical use. Wear appropriate PPE and consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) prior to handling.
When solubility is listed as < 1 mg/mL, the compound dissolves to less than 1 mg per milliliter in water at 25 °C, pH 7.4. Such compounds require an organic co-solvent such as DMSO to prepare a concentrated stock, which is then diluted into aqueous assay buffer. For cell-based assays, keep the final DMSO concentration below 0.1% (v/v) to avoid solvent-induced cytotoxicity.
Yes — TargetMol inhibitors can be used in cell-based and in vitro experiments. Prepare a DMSO stock, then dilute into cell culture medium to the desired working concentration, keeping DMSO ≤ 0.1% (v/v) to avoid solvent toxicity. Note that not all compounds have published data for every cell line or assay system; in such cases, perform a dose-response experiment with appropriate positive and vehicle controls to validate efficacy in your specific model.
