PB28 DIHYDROCHLORIDE

Description

PB28 (172907-03-8) is a very potent high affinity (Ki = 5.3 nM1, 0.34 nM2) σ2 agonist.? Selective for σ2 over σ1 (approx 30-40x).1,2 PB28 inhibited cell growth in MCF7 and MCF7 ADR breast cancer cells and displayed strong synergism with doxorubicin.3? PB28 potently inhibited Kv2.1 currents in a σ-independent manner.4 PB28 was recently found to have potent (IC50 = 280 nM) anti-SARS-CoV2 activity.5
