NKP608 is a non-peptidic derivative of 4-aminopiperidine, a highly selective, orally active, neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor antagonist with IC50 of 2.6 nM. NKP608 is active both in vitro and in vivo, showing extremely low affinity for NK2, NK3 receptors. NKP608 exerts its effects by blocking the NK₁ receptor, regulate cell proliferation and apoptosis, affect neurotransmitter functions and gastric mucosal repair mechanisms, and suppress the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in antitumor research. NKP608 is applicable to research related to various diseases, including cough, anxiety disorders, depression, gastric mucosal injury, and colorectal cancer.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
