Target IC₅₀: 210 nM inhibiting RNA-induced PKR autophosphorylation and 100 nM in rescuing PKR-dependent translation block

Primary TargetPKR

General description

An imidazolo-oxindole compound that acts as a potent, ATP-binding site directed inhibitor of PKR. Shown to effectively inhibit RNA-induced PKR autophosphorylation (IC₅₀ = 210 nM) and rescue PKR-dependent translation block (IC₅₀ = 100 nM). Shown to increase the late phase of long-lasting synaptic potentiation, and enhance long-term memory in mice. Inactive control is also available (Cat. No. 527455).
