Puromycin Dihydrochloride is an aminonucleoside antibiotic produced by Streptomyces alboniger. It inhibits peptidyl transfer on both prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes. This antibiotic also inhibits the growth of Gram positive bacteria and various animal and insect cells. Resistance to Puromycin is conferred by the expression of the "pac" gene. It is widely used in cell biology as selective agent in mammalian and stem cell culture systems.
Puromycin is stable for one year as solution when stored at -20°C. The recommended dose is at a range of 10-100 µg⁄ml, although it can be toxic to eukaryotic cells at concentrations as low as 1 µg⁄ml. It acts quickly and can kill up to 99% of nonresistant cells within 2 days. When performing your experiment, we reccomend you to determine the optimal concentration of antibiotic required to kill your host cell line by performing a dose-response curve.
