NADH-IN-1 has NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 27 μM. NADH-IN-1 can effectively stimulate glucose uptake in vitro. NADH-IN-1 is readily metabolised by the liver. NADH-IN-1 can be used for researching diabetes.
NADH-IN-1 (1 μM) exhibits a short half-life and fast intrinsic clearance indicating that it is readily metabolised by the liver in vivo; shows no adverse effects on primary rat hepatocytes, and does not inhibit the hERG channel[1].
NADH-IN-1 (10 mg/kg; IV or PO; single dosage) produces no observable toxic effects at 10 mg/kg by IV or PO; exhibits a short half-life and high plasma clearance; exhibits high mouse and human serum protein binding, as well as moderate bioavailability[1].
