Description of Bafilomycin A1

Bafilomycin A1 (BafA1) is a specific and reversible inhibitor of vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) with IC50 values of 4-400 nmol/mg.

Applications
Bafilomycin A1, a macrolide antibiotic, is also used as an autophagy inhibitor at the late stage. Bafilomycin A1 blocks autophagosome-lysosome fusion and inhibits acidification and protein degradation in lysosomes of cultured cells. Bafilomycin A1 induces apoptosis.
Shelf-Life
Powder:
-20°C, 3 years.

In solvent:
-80°C, 6 months.
-20°C, 1 month.
Shipping Conditions
Room temperature in continental US, may vary elsewhere.
In Vitro Studies
Bafilomycin A1 ((-)-Bafilomycin A1) disrupts autophagic flux by inhibiting both V-ATPase-dependent acidification and Ca-P60A/SERCA-dependent autophagosome-lysosome fusion.
In Vivo Studies
Chronic treatment with low-dose Bafilomycin A1 (0.1 mg/kg) slightly inhibits the tumor volume, but the final tumor volume does not differ significantly from the control. However, chronic treatment with high dose Bafilomycin A1 (1 mg/kg) inhibits the tumor growth significantly, compared with controls, after 21 days.
