(E/Z)-Sivopixant ((E/Z)-S-600918) is a potent P2X3 receptor antagonist with an IC 50 of 4 nM. (E/Z)-Sivopixant can be used for respiratory diseases research
In Vitro
ATP receptors are roughly classified into an ion channel type P2X family and a G protein coupled type P2Y family. Seven types of subtypes have been reported in the P2X receptor family, and function as non-selective cation channels by forming homotrimers or heterotrimers with other P2X subtypes. Furthermore, P2X3 that the receptor is expressed in neuroepithelial bodies (NEB) of the lungs, and ATP-induced cough, etc., P2X3 receptors. It has been suggested that it is involved in information transmission in the respiratory organs. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
