Bioactivity | Elexacaftor (VX-445, Compound 1) is a modulator of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Elexacaftor (VX-445, Compound 1) facilitates the processing and trafficking of CFTR to increase the amount of CFTR at the cell surface[1]. | ||||||||||||
Target | CFTR. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Elexacaftor (VX-445) is a next-generation cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) corrector designed to restore Phe508del CFTR protein function. Elexacaftor (VX-445) has the potential to treat cystic fibrosis. VX-445-Tezacaftor-VX-770 significantly improves Phe508del CFTR protein processing, trafficking, and chloride transport to a greater extent than any two of these agents in dual combination[2]. | ||||||||||||
