Uses
BAY-677 is an inactive control for BAY-678. BAY-678 is an orally bioavailable, highly potent, selective and cell-permeable inhibitor of human neutrophil elastase (HNE), with an IC50 of 20 nM[1]. BAY-678 is also nominated as a chemical probe to the public via the Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC)[2].
Biological Activity
BAY-677 is the negative control probe for
BAY-678, which is a human neutrophil elastase (HNE) inhibitor with >2,000-fold selectivity for HNE over a panel of 21 other serine proteases. For characterization details of BAY-678 and BAY-677, please visit the
BAY-677 probe summary on the Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC) website.
BAY-678, the active HNE probe, is available from Sigma. To learn more about and purchase BAY-678,
