Isoform Comparison

Biological Activity

Description
MSA-2, a powerful orally available non-nucleotide STING agonist, binds to STING as a noncovalent dimer with nanomolar affinity. It displays EC50 values of 8.3 and 24 μM for human STING isoforms WT and HAQ, respectively. MSA-2 promotes interferon-β secretion in tumors, leads to tumor regression with lasting antitumor immunity, and enhances the effectiveness of anti-PD-1 therapy in syngeneic mouse tumor models[1][2].
