EMPA is a selective, high-affinity and reversible antagonist of orexin OX2 receptor(human and rat OX2-HEK293 membranes with KD values of 1.1 and 1.4 nM respectively)EMPA displaces the EMPA binding from cell membranes containing human and rat OX2 receptors, with Ki values of 1.10±0.24 nM and 1.45±0.13 nM, respectively.?

Aralosides possess protective effect against experimental myocardial ischemia and infarction, the mechanism of myocardial protection may be attributed to the amelioration of FFA metabolic deterioration and membrane peroxidation induced by oxygen free radicals.
