HIDE SMILES / InChI
Bisbenzimide ethoxide is a fluorescent nucleic acid stain useful for DNA labeling in fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. It appears to bind to AT-rich regions containing at least four such basepairs. Bisbenzimide ethoxide seems to bind relatively poorly to nucleotide sequences containing the alternating step TpA. Bisbenzimide ethoxide induced apoptosis in the HL-60 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Endogenous nuclear topoisomerase I activity in HL-60 cells was inhibited by treatment with Bisbenzimide ethoxide.

In Vitro Use Guide
Cultures of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were presynchronized in early S phase by sequential treatment with isoleucine deficiency and hydroxyurea blockades; then they were switched to medium supplemented with Bisbenzimide ethoxide at 7.5 ug/ml for 12 hr. Up to 95% of the cells accumulated in G2 phase under those conditions.
