Description

General description

A cell-permeable and selective inhibitor of the phosphatase complexes that dephosphorylate eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit α (eIF-2α). Shown to offer protection against ER stress-induced apoptosis (EC₅₀ ~15 µM in PC12 cells stimulated with 750 ng/ml of Tunicamycin (Cat. No. 654380). Prevents HSV replication both in Vero cells (IC₅₀ ~3 µM for reducing plaque formation) in vitro and in a mouse cornea infection model in vivo. The solid form of this compound (Cat. No. 324895) is also available.
