Description:
HCH6-1 is a competitive antagonist of Formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1), an emerging therapeutic target for the discovery of drugs to treat neutrophilic inflammatory diseases. HCH6-1 is a selective FPR1 inhibitor and has protective effects against acute lung injury (ALI). HCH6-1 inhibits superoxide anion generation, elastase release, and chemotaxis in human neutrophils activated by fMLF (an FPR1 agonist).
Handling:
Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance,
we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one
month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at
least 1 hour.
