In glioma cells expressing APPswe (H4swe), CHF5074 reduces Aβ42 release with IC50 of 3.6 μM. It had no inhibitory activity against COX-1 and COX-2 at concentrations up to 100 μM and 300 μM.

In rats, CHF5074 is well absorbed orally (50%) and is slowly eliminated from plasma (half-life approximately 20 hours). In Tg2576 transgenic mice, chronic treatment of CHF5074 significantly reduced the total amount of Aβ in the brain, and at the histological level, no Notch-mediated toxic effects were found.
