Introduction of 1164470-53-4 :
Sal003 is a potent, specific and cell-permeable inhibitor of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) phosphatase. Sal003 is a derivative of salubrinal[1]. IC50 & Target: eIF2α phosphatase[1] In Vitro: Sal003 (20 μM; 1-12 hours) sharply increases eIF2α phosphorylation in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs)[2].
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) phosphorylation by Sal003 (10 μM; 1 hour) enhances subtilase cytotoxin (SubAB)-induced apoptotic signaling[1].
Sal003 promotes eIF2α phosphorylation leads to impairment of synaptic plasticity and memory[1].
In Vivo: Sal003 (20Μm; intrahippocampal injection; 8 minutes) impairs contextual memory in vivo[1].
