Description
  • Anti-malaria.
  • Apoptosis inducer.
  • Anti-cancer.
  • Inhibits production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) and nitric oxide (NO).
  • Functional ARX inhibitor. Enhancer of GABAA signaling. Shown to promote the in vivo conversion of pancreatic α cells into functional β-like cells through enhanced GABA signaling and may have potential as a therapeutic for diabetes.
  • Targets Gephyrin.
