Ordering Information

Biological Activity

6-OAU is a surrogate agonist of G protein-coupled receptor 84 (GPR84) that activates human GPR84 signaling. Engagement of GPR84 by 6-OAU stimulates downstream intracellular pathways, promoting pro-inflammatory responses and leukocyte activation. Through GPR84 activation, 6-OAU serves as a functional tool compound for investigating GPR84-mediated metabolic and inflammatory signaling pathways in immune and inflammatory cell phenotypes.

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
