Primary Targetcapillary morphogenesis

General description

An inhibitor of angiogenesis. At low concentrations, acts as a potent and specific inhibitor of transmembrane Na+ entry and Na⁺/H⁺ ATPase. Inhibits smooth muscle responses to contractile stimuli. Blocks palytoxin-induced conductance in skeletal muscle. Reduces the electrical potential across tubular epithelium. At higher concentrations, blocks the Na⁺/H⁺ exchange pathway.

An inhibitor of angiogenesis. Inhibits capillary morphogenesis completely and reversibly at approximately 130 µM. At low concentrations, acts as a potent and specific inhibitor of transmembrane Na⁺ entry and Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase. Also acts as an inhibitor of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA). Blocks smooth muscle responses to contractile stimuli and palytoxin-induced conductance in skeletal muscle. Reduces electrical potential across tubular epithelium. At higher concentrations, blocks the Na⁺/H⁺ exchange pathway.
