Cariporide, Selective NHE1 inhibitor; cardioprotective and antitumor, Each

Details

Cariporide is a selective Na /H exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) inhibitor (IC50 values are 0.05, 3 and 1000 μM for NHE1, NHE3 and NHE2 respectively). Attenuates ischemia-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis in vitro. Reduces cardiac arrhythmia in vivo. Also promotes apoptosis in cancer cells overexpressing NHE1. Orally active.
