    Product Description

    Ezutromid is a modulator of utrophin production.1 It upregulates utrophin production in mouse myoblasts (EC50 = 0.91 µM in a reporter assay).2 It inhibits the activity of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP1A2 in pooled human liver microsomes (IC50 = 5.4 µM).3 Chronic administration of ezutromid (50 mg/kg) increases utrophin protein levels in the heart, increases grip strength, and decreases fatigue, indicated by distance traveled during forced exercise, in the mdx mouse model of muscular dystrophy.1

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
