10Panx is a potent Panx1 channel inhibitor that targets the W74 to Y83 segment of the ECL1 of Panx1 protein [1]. 10Panx inhibits the P2X7 receptor activation-induced cleavage of caspase-1 and the processing and release of IL-1β by suppressing Panx1[2]. 10Panx has been widely used to alleviate the characteristic inflammatory responses in mouse models of asthma[3].
In vitro, 10Panx (50μM) treatment for 20 hours significantly inhibited the formation of capillary-like structures in human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells (HDLECs)[4]. Treatment with 10Panx at a concentration of 100μM for 6 hours delays the maturation of bovine oocytes and reduces the level of reactive oxygen species within the cells[5]. The 72h treatment of HCT116 cells with 200μM 10Panx significantly inhibited cell proliferation[6].
In vivo, 10Panx treatment via intraventricular injection of 5μl (2μg/μl) 0.5 hours before middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) can reduce the infarct volume in rats and alleviate neurological deficits[7]. A single intravenous injection of 2.58nmol/g dose of 10Panx reduced the induced dentin hypersensitivity of the first molar in rats[8].
