| Bioactivity | Aliskiren (CGP 60536; CGP60536B; SPP 100) hemifumarate is an orally active and selective renin inhibitor, with IC50 of 1.5 nM. Aliskiren hemifumarate can be used for the research of hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and cancer cachexia[1][2][3]. |
| Target | IC50: 1.5 nM (renin); 0.6 nM (human renin), 2 nM (marmoset renin), 80 nM (rat renin), 7 nM (dog renin), 11 nM (rabbit renin), 63 nM (guinea pig renin), 150 nM (pig renin) |
| Invitro | Aliskiren hemifumarate inhibits plasma renin activity (PRA) in vitro with IC50s of 2.9 nM (human PRA), 8.0 nM (monkey PRA), respectively[1].Aliskiren hemifumarate (5 μM; 24 h) inhibits prorenin-induced human aortic smooth muscle cell migration[2].Aliskiren hemifumarate (1-10 μM; 24 h) inhibits both the lamellipodia formation and morphological changes induced by prorenin with no significant effect on PDGF-BB activity[2]. Cell Viability Assay[2] Cell Line: |
| In Vivo | Aliskiren hemifumarate (3 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; 0-12 d) inhibit renin and lower blood pressure without affecting heart rate in sodium-depleted marmosets[3].Aliskiren hemifumarate (10 mg/kg; p.o.; single dose) delays cachexia development, reduces tumor, and prolongs mouse survival. And also improves whole‑body strength, mobility and coordination, enhances locomotor activity, and inhibits muscle wasting[4].Aliskiren hemifumarate (10 mg/kg; p.o.; single dose; 20 d after C26 injection) reduces oxidative stress associated with cancer cachexia[4].
