NA-184
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
NA-184 is a selective and brain-penetrant calpain-2 inhibitor with an IC50 of 134 nM for mouse calpain-2. NA-184 has weak inhibitory activity on calpain-1 (IC50 of 2826 nM). NA-184 does not exhibit significant inhibition on a variety of other cysteine-, serine- or metallo-proteases. NA-184 shows significant neuroprotection and can be used for the study of traumatic brain injury (TBI).

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.
