Product Description
Siramesine (Lu 28-179) hydrochloride is a potent sigma-2 receptor agonist. Siramesine hydrochloride has a subnanomolar affinity for sigma-2 receptors (IC50=0.12 nM) and exhibits a 140-fold selectivity for sigma-2 receptors over sigma-1 receptors (IC50=17 nM). Siramesine hydrochloride triggers cell death through destabilisation of mitochondria, but not lysosomes. Anti-cancer activity.
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylpyrroles. These are polycyclic aromatic compounds containing a benzene ring linked to a pyrrole ring through a CC or CN bond.
