MedChemExpress - Model Emixustat - 1141777-14-1

Emixustat is an orally active RPE65 inhibitor with an IC50 value of 4.4 nM. Emixustat is also a visual cycle modulator, capable of regulating visual cycle activity by inhibiting retinol isomerization, and holds potential for studying vision disorders such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD)[1][2][3][4].

Description：Emixustat is an orally active RPE65 inhibitor with an IC50 value of 4.4 nM. Emixustat is also a visual cycle modulator, capable of regulating visual cycle activity by inhibiting retinol isomerization, and holds potential for studying vision disorders such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

In Vitro：Emixustat (0.1 nM - 10 μM, 1 h) concentration-dependently reduces the production of 11-cis-retinol, thereby inhibiting RPE65 activity[4].

In Vivo：Emixustat (1-10 mg/kg, oral administration, single dose, or twice daily for 6 days; 1 mg/kg, i.p., measurement after 30-60 minutes) reduced cation influx and oxygen consumption in the retinas of brown Norway rats under dark adaptation conditions[3]. Emixustat (0.03-3.0 mg/kg, intravenous injection, once daily for 5 days) inhibits neovascularization and protects the retina in the oxygen-induced retinopathy mouse model[4].

IC50 & Target：IC50: 4.4 nM (Retinal Pigment Epithelium 65-kDa protein (RPE65))[4] In Vitro Emixustat (0.1 nM - 10 μM, 1 h) concentration-dependently reduces the production of 11-cis-retinol, thereby inhibiting RPE65 activity[4]. MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. 0 --> Emixustat Related Antibodies
