TNP-ATP triethylammonium salt
Chemical Name:2',3'-O-(2,4,6-Trinitrophenyl)adenosine-5'-triphosphate
tetratriethylammonium salt
Biological Activity:
High affinity, selective P2X receptor antagonist. Inhibits
ATP-induced currents in cells expressing P2X1, P2X3 and
heteromeric P2X2/3 receptors with IC50 values of 6, 0.9
and 7 nM respectively. Displays 1000-fold selectivity over P2X2, P2X4
and P2X7.
