| Bioactivity | Zalunfiban (RUC-4) dihydrochloride is a potent, selective platelet αIIbβ3 antagonist (IC50=45 nM). Zalunfiban dihydrochloride can be used for the research of myocardial infarction (MI)[1]. |
| Target | IC50: 45 nM (αIIbβ3) |
| In Vivo | Zalunfiban dihydrochloride (1~3.86 mg/kg; s.c.; 24 hours) makes platelet aggregation performed[1].Zalunfiban dihydrochloride (1~3.86 mg/kg; i.m.; 4.5 hours) leads to the onset of high-grade inhibition of platelet aggregation within 15–30 minutes that lasts from ~2 to >4.5 hours in a dose dependent manner[1].
