Chemical structure of nocodazole.

Product Usage Information

Nocodazole is supplied as a lyophilized powder. For a 1 mg/ml stock, reconstitute the 10 mg in 10 ml DMSO. Working concentrations and length of treatments vary depending on the desired effect, but it is typically used at 0.1-1 µg/ml for 12-48 hr. Soluble in DMSO.

Background

Nocodazole is an anti-neoplastic agent that reversibly interferes with the polymerization of microtubules (1). Widely-used as a cell cycle synchronizing agent in cell biology labs to induce mitotic arrest, investigators have demonstrated that high concentrations of nocodazole induce microtubule depolymerization, whereas low concentrations alter spindle microtubule dynamics, but microtubules do not depolymerize (2-4). Recent research studies have demonstrated nocodazole to be a common inhibitor of various cancer-related kinases, including: ABL, c-KIT, BRAF, MEK1, MEK2, and MET (5).
