Description
GR 159897 is a potent and selective non-peptide neurokinin NK2 receptor antagonist with high affinity pKi values near 9.5. It is suitable for blocking tachykinin NK2 receptor-mediated responses in functional assays. It crosses the blood-brain barrier and exhibits strong anti-tumor, anti-stress, and anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) properties.
NK2 receptors are activated primarily by neurokinin A and participate in smooth muscle contraction, airway responses and visceral signaling. GR 159897 is a useful antagonist for tachykinin receptor pharmacology and inflammation-related pathway studies.
Key Features
- Potent non-peptide NK2 receptor antagonist
- Selective on NK2 with pKi values near 9.5, with little to no affinity for NK1 or NK3 receptors
- Blocks tachykinin-mediated NK2 signaling
- Useful for smooth muscle and visceral response studies
Applications
- NK2 receptor pharmacology
- Tachykinin signaling research
- Airway and smooth muscle contraction models
- Visceral pain and inflammation pathway studies
