Rapidly reversible Chemical Dimerizer rCD1 is now available at SiChem

The first rapidly reversible chemical dimerization system – rCD1 – , which permits to determine kinetics of lipid metabolizing enzymes in living cells, is now available at SiChem . This new system was applied to induce and stop the activity of phosphatidyl 3-kinase (PI3K) (SC-7000_Chemical_Dimerizer_info). rCD1 is available in 2 sizes: 100µg (for app. 20 […]

INO-4995 has potential in treatment of Cystic Fibrosis (CF)

INO-4995 (1-O-octyl-2-O-butyryl-D-myo-inositol 3,4,5,6-tetrakisphosphate octakis(propionoxymethyl)ester) is an ion channel modulator that is slowly metabolized in cells. Studies have shown that it inhibits ENaC activity while promoting expression of the calcium-activated chloride channel, TMEM16a, in membranes. Thus it has potential therapeutic activity in the treatment of cystic fibrosis where it normalized nasal potential difference (npd) in a […]
