Rimiducid Inhibitor

Rimiducid is a lipid-permeable tacrolimus analogue, homodimerizing an analogue of human protein fkbp12 and binding to wild-type fkbp12 with 1000-fold lower affinity. Rimiducid is a dimerizer agent that acts by cross-linking the FKBP domains. It dimerizes the Caspase 9 suicide switch and rapidly induces apoptosis.

Small volumes of Rimiducid, inhibitor vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS5754519 is an inhibitor targeting Rimiducid.
