General description

An imidazolo-oxindole compound that acts as a potent, ATP-binding site directed inhibitor of PKR. Shown to effectively inhibit RNA-induced PKR autophosphorylation (IC50 = 210 nM) and rescue PKR-dependent translation block (IC50 = 100 nM). Inactive control is also available (Cat. No. 527455). Shown to increase the late phase of long-lasting synaptic potentiation, and enhance long-term memory in mice. Also available as a 50 mM solution in DMSO (Cat. No. 527451).

The inability of cells to adapt to increased environmental tonicity can lead to inflammatory gene expression and pathogenesis. The Rel family of transcription factors TonEBP and NF-κB p65 play critical roles in the switch from osmoadaptive homeostasis to inflammation, respectively.
