NBI-31772 hydrate is a powerful inhibitor of the interaction between insulin-like growth factor (IGF) and IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs). It acts as a nonpeptide ligand, effectively releasing bioactive IGF-I from the IGF-I/IGFBP-3 complex (Ki values for all six human subtypes range from 1-24 nM). This compound demonstrates significant anxiolytic and antidepressant-like effects [1] [2] [3].
