VX 770
- Ivacaftor - Kalydeco- Soluble in DMSO
- MF: C24H28N2O3
- MW: 392.49
Description
VX 770 (Ivacaftor) is an orally bioavailable potentiator of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride channel. It increases CFTR channel opening probability and improves function of gating-defective CFTR variants.
CFTR regulates epithelial chloride and bicarbonate transport in the lung, pancreas, intestine and sweat duct. VX 770 is a benchmark potentiator for cystic fibrosis research, epithelial ion transport assays and CFTR modulator pharmacology.
Key Features
- CFTR chloride channel potentiator
- Enhances ATP-independent and mutant CFTR channel activity
- Clinically validated modulator for cystic fibrosis
- Reference compound for CFTR gating-defect pharmacology
Applications
- CFTR ion-channel research
- Cystic fibrosis disease modeling
- Epithelial chloride transport assays
- Potentiator screening and combination studies
