Burixafor hydrobromide (TG-0054 hydrobromide) is an orally bioavailable and potent antagonist of CXCR4 and a well water soluble anti-angiogenic drug that is of potential value in treating choroid neovascularization[1]. Burixafor hydrobromide (TG-0054 hydrobromide) mobilizes mesenchymal stem cells, attenuates inflammation, and preserves cardiac systolic function in a porcine model of myocardial infarction[2].
