Description:
GW461484A (GW-461484A) is a potent small molecule capable of restoring caspofungin sensitivity, inhibits Yck2 kinase in C. albicans, originally discovered as an inhibitor of human p38α with IC50 of 150 nM.GW461484A inhibited a very narrow spectrum of human kinases. At 1 uM, it showed >80% binding to only 10 additional human kinases out of a panel of >400 kinases.Yck2 is the proximal target of GW responsible for restoration of echinocandin sensitivity in C. albicans, potently inhibits Yck2 kinase activity in vitro and impairs the virulence of C. albicans in co-cultures and in mice.GW461484A potentiates conventional antifungals against a broad range of pathogens.
Handling:
Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance,
