| Bioactivity | Reparixin is a non-competitive allosteric inhibitor of the chemokine receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2 activation with IC50s of 1 and 100 nM, respectively. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Reparixin is a potent functional inhibitor of CXCL8-induced biological activities on human PMNs with a marked selectivity (around 400-fold) for CXCR1, as shown in specific experiments on CXCR1/L1.2 and CXCR2/L1.2 transfected cells and on human PMNs. The efficacy of Reparixin is significantly lower in L1.2 cells expressing Ile43Val CXCR1 mutant (IC50 values of 5.6 nM and 80 nM for CXCR1 wt and CXCR1 Ile43Val, respectively)[1]. Reparixin is a non-competitive allosteric inhibitor of IL-8 receptors with a 400-fold higher efficacy in inhibiting CXCR1 activity than CXCR2[2]. | ||||||||||||
| In Vivo | Reparixin is an inhibitor of CXCL8 receptor CXCR1 and CXCR2 activation, has been shown to attenuate inflammatory responses in various injury models. Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) are administered a subcutaneous injection of Reparixin (5 mg/kg) daily for 3 weeks. Reparixin effectively decreases systolic blood pressure and increased the blood flow[3]. Reparixin reduces the levels of IL-1β in the brain after middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAo) in mice. Bars represent levels of IL-1β (pg/100 mg) measured by ELISA in the brain tissues of mice subjected or not (SHAM) to MCAo and pretreated with vehicle or Reparixin (30 mg/kg, s.c.)[4]. | ||||||||||||
