Biological Activity: AZM198 is an orally active myeloperoxidase (MPO) inhibitor. AZM198 irreversibly inactivates MPO (IC₅₀=0.015 μM) via covalent binding to the heme prosthetic group, preferentially targets extracellular MPO activity, and reduces neutrophil extracellular trap formation, reactive oxygen species production and degranulation. AZM198 increases the fibrous cap thickness of atherosclerotic plaques, reduces lesion area, ameliorates hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, and alleviates proteinuria and inflammatory infiltration associated with glomerulonephritis. AZM198 also decreases circulating levels of high-sensitivity Cardiac Troponin I and IL-1β, and mitigates endothelial cell injury. Therefore, AZM198 is suitable for research on various MPO-related diseases, including atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and crescentic glomerulonephritis^[1][2][3][4].
