VBIT-3 is a voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) oligomerization inhibitor (Kd: 31.3 μM). VBIT-3 also is an apoptosis inhibitor, can be used for therapeutic purposes in apoptosis-associated disorders (such as neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases).
AKOS-22 is a potent mitochondrial protein VDAC1 (voltage-dependent anion channel 1) inhibitor (Kd=15.4 μM). AKOS-22 protects against mitochondrial dysfunction[1]. AKOS-22 interacts with VDAC1 and inhibiting both VDAC1 oligomerization and apoptosis.
