Israpafant

Description	Israpafant (Y-24180) is a drug which acts as a selective antagonist for the platelet-activating factor receptor, and was originally developed for the treatment of asthma. Its chemical structure is a thienotriazolodiazepines, closely related to the sedative benzodiazepine derivative etizolam. However, israpafant binds far more tightly to the platelet-activating factor receptor, with an IC50 of 0.84nM for inhibiting PAF-induced human platelet aggregation, while it binds only weakly to benzodiazepine receptors, with a Ki of 3680nM. Israpafant has been found to inhibit the activation of eosinophil cells and consequently delays the development of immune responses. It has also been shown to have anti-nephrotoxic properties and to mobilize calcium transport.
