BMS-986235 (LAR-1219) is a selective, orally active formyl peptide receptor 2 (FPR2) agonist, with EC50s of 0.41 nM and 3.4 nM for hFPR2 and mFPR2, respectively. BMS-986235 has potential for the prevention of heart failure[1].
BMS-986235 (LAR-1219) inhibits neutrophil chemotaxis and stimulats macrophage phagocytosis, key end points to promote resolution of inflammation[1].
BMS-986235 (LAR-1219) (0.3 mg/kg; p.o.; daily for 24 days) can attenuate left ventricle and global cardiac remodeling after left anterior descending (LAD) in mice[1].BMS-986235 (1 mg/kg; p.o.) treatment shows the Cmax, T1/2, AUC0-inf, and bioavailability (BA) values of 160 nmol/L, 0.68 hours,120 nmol/L•h, and 24%, respectively[1]. Animal Model: Male C57BL/6 mice[1]
