                            Description
                            VX-770, soluble in DMSO and insoluble in ethanol and water, blocks the activity of chloride channels, which play a vital role in maintaining cellular ion balance. It targets F508del-CFTR (Fisher rat thyroid cells) and G551D-CFTR (fisher rat thyroid cells).
