MU262 is a MUS81 inhibitor with an IC50 value of 0.87 μM. MU262 directly inhibits the catalytic activity of MUS81 without interfering with DNA binding, induces genomic instability in tumor cells, and specifically inhibits the HR/BIR repair pathway. The combination of MU262 with Cisplatin significantly enhances the chemotherapeutic killing effect. MU262 serves as a chemical biology tool for studying MUS81 function, and also acts as a lead compound for the development of anticancer therapies that exploit DNA repair defects in cancer cells.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
