SAfit2 is a potent inhibitor of FK506-binding protein 51 (FKBP51, Ki = 6 nM). It is highly selective for FKBP51 over FKBP52 (Ki = >50,000 nM) and has increased brain permeability in comparison to SAfit1. SAfit2 (20 mg/kg) enhances HPA axis suppression in mice by decreasing plasma corticosterone levels to a greater...

Description: SAFit2 is a highly effective and selective fk506 binding protein 51(FKBP51) inhibitor (Ki: 6 nM). SAFit2 can enhance AKT2-AS160 binding and participate in the downstream response of glucocorticoid release in vivo, and is a candidate compound for the treatment of obesity, chronic pain, depression and...
