- Product Overview:
Fantofarone is a calcium channel inhibitor.{47567} It selectively inhibits the L-type voltage-gated calcium channel in isolated rat aorta (IC50 = 0.61 nM) over ?1- and ?-adrenergic, muscarinic, and histamine H2 receptors in rat heart homogenates (IC50s = >10, 4, >10, and >10 µM, respectively), and the serotonin receptor subtypes 5-HT1 and 5-HT2, as well as histamine H1 and adenosine A1 receptors, in rat brain homogenates (IC50s = >10, >10, 4, and >10 µM, respectively). Fantofarone inhibits peak calcium current in depolarized and hyperpolarized L-type voltage-gated calcium channels (IC50s = 1.4 and 150 nM, respectively).{47568} It inhibits potassium chloride- and norepinephrine-induced contractions in isolated rat aorta (IC50s = 5.64 and 96 nM, respectively).{47567} It enhances recovery of cardiac output during reperfusion of isolated rat hearts when used at a concentration of 10 nM.{47569} Fantofarone prevents angioplasty-induced vasospasms in the femoral artery in a rabbit model of focal atherosclerosis when administered at a dose of 50 µg/kg.{47570}
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
