Names

[ Name ]:
Foropafant

[Synonym ]:
MFCD00904759

Biological Activity

[Description]:

Foropafant (SR27417) highly potent, competitive, selective and orally active antagonist of platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor, with a Ki value of 57 pM for [3H]PAF binding, at least 5-fold lower than that of unlabeled PAF itself. Foropafant potently inhibits PAF-induced aggregation of rabbit and human platelets[1].
