Background:

ML221 is a potent apelin (APJ) functional antagonist, inhibiting apelin-13-mediated activation of APJ, with IC50s of 0.70 μM in the cAMP assay, and 1.75 μM in the β-arrestin assay, and EC80 of 10 nM in both assays.

ML221 is a potent apelin/APJ functional antagonist, inhibiting apelin-13-mediated activation of APJ, with IC50s of 0.70 μM in the cAMP assay, and 1.75 μM in the β-arrestin assay, and EC80 of 10 nM in both assays. ML221 is >37-fold selective over the closely related angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor (IC50, >79 μM) in cells. ML221 displays limited cross reactivity against a range of GPCRs except the κ-opioid and benzodiazepinone receptors (<50/
