Cx43 HC-IN-1 (Compound D4) is a selective and orally active inhibitor of connexin hemichannels (Cx43 HC). Cx43 HC-IN-1 effectively inhibits the hemichannel activity mediated by Cx43/Cx45 in denervated skeletal muscle fibers, significantly increasing the reinnervation rate of muscle fibers by neurons. Cx43 HC-IN-1 reduces neuroinflammation and neuronal overexcitation by inhibiting hemichannels in glial cells in the brain, and alleviates epilepsy in mice. Cx43 HC-IN-1 can be used for research on epilepsy and muscle diseases.

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, 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.
