Sample Use Guides

Lificiguat (YC-1) was tested on in vivo model of pulmonary arterial hypertension. To assess preventive or therapeutic effects, randomized mice were subjected to once daily i.p. injections of YC-1 for the entire hypoxic period (5 mg/kg) or for the last seven days of a 28-day hypoxic period (5 and 10 mg/kg).
Route of Administration: Intraperitoneal
