Mdivi 1
Mdivi-1 is a selective cell-permeable inhibitor of mitochondrial division DRP1 (dynamin-related GTPase) and mitochondrial division Dynamin I (Dnm1). DRP1, a member of the dynamin family of large GTPases, mediates mitochondrial fission.
In vitro: The most efficacious inhibitor, mdivi-1 attenuates mitochondrial division in yeast and mammalian cells by selectively inhibiting the mitochondrial Drp1-mediated division dynamin. Mdivi-1 potently blocks Bid-activated Bax/Bak-dependent cytochrome c release from mitochondria [1].
In vivo: Mdivi-1 treatment blocked apoptotic cell death in ischemic retina, and significantly increased RGC survival at 2 weeks after ischemia. Moreover, Mdivi-1 treatment did not change this increase of Drp1 protein expression but significantly decreased GFAP protein expression [2].
Clinical trial: Currently no clinical data are available.

Applications |
Mdivi-1 (50 μM) inhibited mitochondrial division in mammalian cells (COS cells) by attenuating Drp1 self-assembly. Mdivi-1 (50 μM) attenuated mammalian mitochondrial division and Drp1 self-assembly during apoptosis. Mdivi-1 significantly inhibited STS-induced annexin V staining of non-necrotic cells as assessed by FACS analysis, indicating that mdivi-1 inhibited apoptosis. |

Application |
Mdivi-1 treatment significantly increased RGC survival by approximately 54% in the central, 58% in the middle, and 48% in the peripheral areas. Mdivi-1 treatment significantly decreased GFAP protein expression in ischemic retina at 12 hours. Mdivi-1 treatment did not change mean arterial blood pressure, body weight, animal appearance or behavior. |
Other notes |
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal. |
