Key considerations: light- and air-sensitive—prepare aliquots in anhydrous solvent (e.g., DMSO or ethanol) and protect from light. Commonly used as 0.1–10 μM stocks depending on application; verify concentration and effects in your system.

• Solubility: soluble in DMSO or ethanol.
• Storage: store protected from light at -20°C; minimize exposure to air and heat.
• Safety: can be teratogenic—use with appropriate precautions; research use only.
