(-)-Variabilin Inhibitor

Variabilin, a novel inhibitor of human platelet aggregation, it is a potent RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp)-containing antagonist of the fibrinogen receptor glycoprotein IIb-IIIa (GPIIb-IIIa; alphaIIbbeta3) and the vitronectin receptor alphavbeta3.Variabilin is also an antimicrobial furanosesterterpene. Variabilin is an inhibitor of human secretory and cytosolic phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activities that controls eicosanoid production in vitro and in vivo, inhibits neutrophil degranulation and superoxide generation in vitro and shows anti-inflammatory activity after topical or p.o. administration to mice.

Small volumes of (-)-Variabilin, 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.
