                                                    L-168049 is a potent, selective, orally active and non-competitive glucagon receptor antagonist with IC50s of 3.7 nM, 63 nM, and 60 nM for human, murine, and canine glucagon receptors, respectively.

                                                    Glucagon receptor was expressed in THP-1 cells, and 1 nM glucagon decreased the ratio of interleukin-1β to interleukin-10 gene expression, which was significantly prevented by L-168049.

The following factors can affect the solubility of the same chemical: solvent used for crystallization, residual solvent content, polymorphism, salt versus free form, degree of hydration, solvent temperature. Please use the solubility data as a reference only. Warming and sonication will facilitate dissolving. Still have questions?
