icerguastat acetate

IFB-088 acetate, a benzyl guanidine derivative, is used to treat diseases and cancers associated with the PPP1R15A pathway and associated with protein misfolding stress, Examples include tau disease, synaptic riboprotein disease, polyglutamine and polyalanine diseases, leukodystrophy, cystic fibrosis, multiple sclerosis, lysosome storage disorders, amyloidosis diseases, inflammation, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, neurological trauma, and more.

Icerguastat (IFB-088) is a selective inhibitor of holophosphatase. Sephin1 safely and selectively inhibited a regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 1 in vivo.

Sephin1 (IFB-088) is reportedly a selective inhibitor of GADD34 (PPP1R15A), which is a stress-induced regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 1 complex that dephosphorylates eIF2α
