    Alvimopan

    $99.00 - $933.00

    Alvimopan is a gastroprokinetic peripherally restricted mu-opioid receptor antagonist (MOR). It has a favorable kinetic activity (0.2 ng/ml) and dissociates more slowly than most other ligands.

    Mechanism of ActionAlvimopan competitively binds to the mu-opioid receptor in the gastrointestinal tract. It has a low systemic absorption and a high affinity for mu-opioid receptors. This compound assists gastrointestinal motility dysfunction.
    Purity Level98.0%-102.0% (anhydrous basis)02.0% (anhydrous basis)
    Eukaryotic Cell Culture ApplicationsIn vitro studies with Alvimopan using CHO cell membranes revealed that it inhibited GTP binding with an IC50 of 1.7 nM.
    Molecular FormulaC25H32N2O4
    SolubilitySlightly soluble in DMSO. Very slightly soluble in water.
