Biological Activity for IBMX

IBMX is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor (IC₅₀ values are 13, 18, 19, 32 and 50 μM for PDE4, PDE3, PDE1, PDE5 and PDE2 respectively). Suppresses α-adrenoceptor-mediated 5-HT release from neuroendocrine epithelial cells (IC₅₀ = 1.3 μM). Facilitates differentiation of neural progenitor cells in vitro.

Preparing Stock Solutions for IBMX

The following data is based on the product molecular weight 222.24.

Batch specific molecular weights may vary from batch to batch due to the degree of hydration, which will affect the solvent volumes required to prepare stock solutions.

Select a batch to recalculate based on the batch molecular weight:

Concentration / Solvent Volume / Mass	1 mg	5 mg	10 mg
0.75 mM	6.00 mL	30.00 mL	60.00 mL
3.75 mM	1.20 mL	6.00 mL	12.00 mL
7.5 mM	0.60 mL	3.00 mL	6.00 mL
37.5 mM	0.12 mL	0.60 mL	1.20 mL
