Bioactivity | Fasitibant chloride (MEN16132 free base) is a potent and selective nonpeptide bradykinin B2 receptor (B2R) antagonist. Fasitibant chloride reduces joint pain and diminishes joint oedema in Carrageenan-induced arthritis rat model[1][2][3]. |
Target | B2R |
Invitro | Fasitibant chloride (MEN16132 free base; 1 µM; pre-treatment 30 min before BK) produces a consistent reduction of the FGF-2 expression (BK induced) and decrement of BK induced-FGFR-1 phosphorylation[2]. Fasitibant chloride inhibits the phosphorylation of FRSα, ERK1/2, STAT3 (BK induced; 1 μM; for 15 min), except AKT in HUVEC[2]. Cell Viability Assay[2] Cell Line: |
In Vivo | Fasitibant chloride (MEN16132 free base; 100 µg per knee; injection into the knee; 30 min before λ-carrageenan) inhibits about 40-45% on the carrageenan-induced joint pain and knee joint oedema[1]. Animal Model: |
