    Product Description

    SKF 525A is a widely used, nonspecific cytochrome P (CYP)450 inhibitor that demonstrates 100% inhibition of the various CYP450 isoforms at 1-100 μM.1 It therefore potentiates the effects of many different drugs by inhibiting their metabolism (IC50 values in the μM range when tested using human liver microsomes).2 SKF 525A inhibits CYP450-dependent arachidonic acid conversion to active EET metabolites, antagonizing the recovery of functional calcium pools.3 It also acts as a noncompetitive inhibitor of acetylcholine nicotinic receptors (IC50 = 19 μM in mouse skeletal muscle).4,5

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
