| Bioactivity | AER-271, a phosphonate prodrug derivative of AER-270, is an aquaporin-4 (AQP4) inhibitor for the research of acute ischemic stroke[1]. | ||||||||||||
| Target | Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) | ||||||||||||
| In Vivo | AER-271 is converted in vivo to AER-270 by endogenous phosphatases. AER-271 blocks acute cerebral edema and improves early outcome in a pediatric model of asphyxial cardiac arrest[1].AER-271 reduces cerebral edema and improves neurological outcomes in rodent ischemic stroke models. Mice treated with AER-271 (5 mg/kg; i.p. injection) show improved outcomes and reduced cerebral edema in a model of ischemic stroke[2]. Animal Model: | ||||||||||||
