ML198 is a glucocerebrosidase (GCase) modulator with an EC50 of 0.4 μM. ML198 is an activator and non-inhibitory chaperone of glucocerebrosidase. ML198 can be used for the research of Gaucher disease[1].
ML198 is stable in D-PBS pH 7.4 at room temperature over 48 hr[1].ML198 increases translocation of GCase to the lysosome (20% cell translocation at 5 µM, compared to 5% of DMSO) in human fibroblasts[1].ML198 shows promising microsomal stability and Caco-2 permeability, with low water solubility[1].
