Application

MRS 2578 has been used an antagonist of purinoceptor P2Y6:
  • to study the role of purinergic receptor in Up4A-induced relaxation in coronary small arteries from swine
  • in P. aeruginosa infected mice to test its effect on the inflammatory responses
  • to test its inhibition on neutrophil extracellular traps and monosodium urate (MSU) crystals formation in polymorphonuclear leukocytes

Biochem/physiol Actions

MRS 2578 elicits cytoprotective functionality in neuroblastoma cells and prevents dopaminergic neuron death under in vitro and in vivo conditions. It also protects microglia by delaying lipopolysaccharide-induced death.
Potent and irreversible antagonist of P2Y6 nucleotide receptor.
