IFN-α/IFNAR-IN-1 hydrochloride Datasheet DC Chemicals
Description
IFN alpha-IFNAR-IN-1 hydrochloride is a nonpeptidic, low-molecular-weight inhibitor that specifically targets the interaction between interferon-alpha (IFN-α) and its receptor, interferon-alpha/beta receptor (IFNAR). This interaction is critical for initiating IFN-α signaling, which plays a key role in antiviral and immune responses. By blocking this interaction, IFN alpha-IFNAR-IN-1 hydrochloride inhibits IFN-α signaling and downstream responses, making it a valuable tool for studying IFN-α biology and its role in diseases such as autoimmune disorders and viral infections. It has demonstrated efficacy in inhibiting modified Vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA)-induced IFN-α responses in murine bone-marrow-derived, Flt3-L-differentiated plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) cultures (BM-pDCs) with an IC50 of 2-8 µM.
