plx 5622

PLX5622 is an orally active small-molecule CSF1R inhibitor that selectively depletes microglia in the brains of mice and rats. It is commonly used to establish models related to microglia-associated neuroinflammation, neurodegenerative diseases (such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease), brain injury, and neuroimmune regulation. This product is also available as a premixed diet version (C2005 PLX5622 in AIN-76A Diet (1200 ppm)), eliminating the need for self-preparation and offering superior stability and reproducibility.

PLX5622 hemifumarate is a highly selective, blood-brain barrier-permeable, and orally active CSF1R inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.016 μM and a Ki of 5.9 nM. It can be used to eliminate proliferating and specific microglia before and during disease progression and is applicable for inducing Alzheimer's disease models.
