Icerguastat
Based on 4 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Icerguastat (Sephin1), a derivative of Guanabenz lacking the α2-adrenergic activity, is a selective inhibitor of the phosphatase regulatory subunit PPP1R15A (R15A). Icerguastat inhibits eIF2α dephosphorylation, thereby prolonging the protective response. Anti-prion effect.

Biological Activity
Icerguastat (5 μM) prolongs eIF2α phosphorylation in oligodendrocytes under stress[1].
Icerguastat (Sephin1) (selective inhibitor of a holophosphatase), safely and selectively inhibits a regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 1 in vivo. Icerguastat selectively binds and inhibits the stress-induced PPP1R15A, but not the related and constitutive PPP1R15B, to prolong the benefit of an adaptive phospho-signaling pathway, protecting cells from otherwise lethal protein misfolding stress[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Icerguastat (100 μg; i.p.) prolongs the survival of prion-infected mice[3].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
