(R)-Nepicastat (hydrochloride)

(R)-Nepicastat hydrochloride is the isomer of Nepicastat (HY-13289). Nepicastat (SYN117) is a selective，potent，and orally active inhibitor of dopamine-beta-hydroxylase. Nepicastat (SYN117) produces concentration-dependent inhibition of bovine (IC50=8.5 nM) and human (IC50=9 nM) dopamine-beta-hydroxylase. Nepicastat (SYN117) can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB)[3].
