BIIE 0246 Usage And Synthesis

Uses

BIIE 0246, is a selective non-peptide antagonist which binds to the neuropeptide NPY2-R in a competitive manner. Studies have also shown that BIIE 0246 is highly lipophilic and as a result BIIE 0246 builds up at membranes near the receptors.

Biological Activity

Potent, selective and competitive non-peptide antagonist for the neuropeptide Y Y 2 receptor (IC 50 = 15 nM). Displays > 650-fold selectivity over Y 1 , Y 4 and Y 5 receptors. Active in vivo .
