Antagonist Comments
Molecular modelling experiments showed triazine compound PC-25 to be a potent selective antagonist of the PKR1 receptor, and this compound was also shown to be able to abolish Bv8-induced hyperalgesia in mice [19]. The same paper lists triazine compound PC7 as having a pIC50 of 7.3 modelling experiments.
Allosteric Modulator Comments
Compounds IS1 and IS20, listed in the agonist table, also have activity as postive allosteric modulators at PKR1 [13].
