ASIC1a inhibitor 5b is a highly selective and potent ASIC1a inhibitor, inhibits proton-evoked ASIC1a currents with an apparent IC50 of 27 nM at pH 6.7.ASIC1a inhibitor 5b can potently and selectively inhibit acid-induced activation of ASIC1a-containing channels, including both ASIC1a homotrimers and ASIC1a-ASIC2 heterotrimers, in a pH-dependent manner.ASIC1a inhibitor 5b binds to the acidic pocket of ASIC1a, exhibits a dramatic leftward shift under pH 6.7 activation of ASIC1a as compared to pH 6.0.ASIC1a inhibitor 5b protected neurons from ASIC1a-dependent cell death and is blood-brain barrier permeable.ASIC1a inhibitor 5b (5 mg/kg) attenuated neurological impairment and alleviated infarct volume in mouse MCAO model of ischemic stroke.

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.
