Biochem/physiol Actions CFTR(inh)-172 is an inhibitor of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). With a Ki = 300 nM,. CFTR(inh)-172 leads to rapid, reversible and voltage-independent inhibition; it is an antidiarrheal agent in animals. CTFR(inh)-172 may be a useful tool to study animal models of cystic fibrosis and intestinal fluid loss in cholera and other secretory diarrheas. CTFR(inh)-172 is structurally-unrelated to known, but non-specific CFTR inhibitors DPC, NPPB (Cat. No. N4779) and Glibenclamide. |
