Verdiperstat (AZD3241) is a selective, irreversible and orally active myeloperoxidase inhibitor, with an IC50 of 630 nM, and can be used in the research of neurodegenerative brain disorders.
Verdiperstat (AZD3241) is a myeloperoxidase (MPO) inhibitor, with an IC50 of 630 nM, and is used in the research of neurodegenerative brain disorders[1]. Verdiperstat (AZD3241) selectively and irreversibly inhibits myeloperoxidase, and may involves reduction of oxidative stress leading to reduction of sustained neuroinflammation[2].
