| Bioactivity | Parmodulin 2 (ML161) is an allosteric inhibitor of protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1) with an IC50 of 0.26 μM[1]. Parmodulin 2 is a potent and non-competitive inhibitor of SFLLRN-induced P-selectin expression leading to inhibition of platelet aggregation in vitro and platelet thrombus formation in vivo[2]. | ||||||||||||
| Target | IC50: 0.26 μM (PAR1) | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Parmodulin 2 (ML161; 10 µM; for 30 minutes) inhibits proinflammatory signaling in endothelial HUVECs cells[3]. | ||||||||||||
| In Vivo | Parmodulin 2 (ML161; 5 mg/kg; IV) significantly inhibits platelet thrombus formation, with a 73% inhibition in AUC (area under the curve)[2]. Parmodulin 2 inhibits platelet thrombus formation in vivo, and it does not prolong bleeding time. Parmodulin 2 selectively inhibits platelet aggregation through Par1 and the α2A-adrenergic receptor[2]. Animal Model: | ||||||||||||
