AR-C117977 is a potent MCT1 inhibitor, which can reduce vimmune responses both in vitro and in vivo, maintains long-term graft survival, and induces operational tolerance.
AR-C117977 is a potent monocarboxylate transporter (MCT1) inhibitor. AR-C117977 prolongs the survival of skin and heart sllograft. AR-C117977 inhibits the development of transplant arteriosclerosis in aortic allografts partially, but was unable to inhibit alloantibody production after transplantation. AR-C117977 shows potent immunosuppressive properties in vivo effectively preventing acute but not chronic allograft rejection in the mouse[1].
