Note
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.

Product Description
S-(4-Nitrobenzyl)-6-thioinosine (NBTI, NBMPR) is a small molecule inhibitor of equilibrative nucleoside transporter (ENT) proteins. These transport proteins are described in relation to their sensitivity to NBMPR, designated as either es (NBMPR-sensitive) or ei (NBMPR-insensitive). They provide good research tools anticancer, antiviral, cardioprotective, and neuroprotective agents. Inhibition of ENT1 by NBMPR blocks the uptake and transport of adenosine, which affects the regulation of extracellular adenosine levels and the cardiac system signaling associated with adenosine. An inhibitor of ENTs with potential anticancer, cardio-, and neuro- protective properties
