(±)-PPCC (hemioxalate)

(±)-PPCC hemioxalate is a compound that has the ability to regulate the activity of the sigma-1 receptor. (±)-PPCC hemioxalate can selectively bind sigma-1 protein (s1), and then activate s1 receptor leading to dissociation of s1-BIP complex to regulate ER-mitochondrial calcium signaling, which plays an important role in cell bioenergy and cell survival. (±)-PPCC hemioxalate can be used to study sigma-1 receptors in cocaine addiction, forgetting, pain, depression, Alzheimer's disease, stroke, and cancer.
