| Invitro | CGP37157 (Compound XVI) is a potent, selective inhibitor of Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, inhibiting the Na+-induced Ca2+-release from guinea-pig heart mitochondria, with an IC50 of 0.8 μM[1]. CGP37157 (10 μM) shows inhibitory effect on mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+ exchanger in cortical neurons, modulates intracellular Ca2+ levels via suppresssing voltage-gated calcium channels, and reduces NMDA-induced cytosolic and mitochondrial Ca2+ overloads. CGP37157 (10 μM) also reduces NMDA-induced excitotoxicity, and such an effect is via attenuating mitochondrial damage and calpain activity in neurons[2]. CGP37157 (10 μM) in combination with salinomycin significantly attenuates cell viability and increases apoptosis of FaDu and HLaC79 cells. Moreover, CGP37157 has no inhibitory effect on salinomycin tumor toxicity[3]. | ||||||||||||
