Product Description: PA-8 is a potent, selective and orally active PACAP type I (PAC1) receptor antagonist. PA-8 inhibits the phosphorylation of CREB induced by PACAP in PAC1-, but not VPAC1- or VPAC2-receptor. PA-8 also inhibits PACAP-induced cAMP elevation with an IC50 of 2 nM[1][2].
Applications: COVID-19-immunoregulation
Formula: C17H18N4O4
