In vivo | In vivo PLX5622 demonstrates desirable PK properties in mice, rats, dogs, and monkeys, with a brain penetrance of ~20%. PLX5622 has low systemic clearance, moderate volume of distribution, and favorable oral bioavailability (F > 30%) in all four species. PLX5622 is a useful compound for investigating microglial dynamics. It allows for the sustained and specific elimination of microglia, preceding and during pathology development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Long-term PLX5622-mediated microglial depletion is highly robust, sustainable, and specific to the microglial compartment[1]. |
