Janthitrem f, as a 10-0-acetyljanthitrem e or janthitrem e monoacetate, is a type ofnaphthopyran. Janthitrem F is prepared by Penicillium janthinellum. Tremorgenic mycotoxi.
In humans, two forms of diacylglycerol lipase, DAGLα and DAGLβ, generate the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoyl glycerol by attacking DAG at the sn-1 position. O-7460 is a selective inhibitor of 2-AG biosynthesis via DAGLα (IC50 = 690 nM). It demonstrates much weaker inhibition towards human monoacylglycerol lipase and rat brain fatty acid amide hydrolase (IC50s > 10 μM) and does not bind to CB1 or CB2 cannabinoid receptors (Kis > 10 μM). At 0-12 mg kg, i.p. in mice, O-7460 was reported to dose-dependently inhibit high-fat diet intake and reduce body weight.
CAY10744 is a topoisomerase II-α poison.1 It inhibits topoisomerase II-α by 78.9% when used at a concentration of 20 μM. CAY10744 is selective for topoisomerase II-α over topoisomerase I providing 100 and 0% inhibition, respectively, at 100 μM. It inhibits proliferation of HCT15 colon, T47D breast, DU145 prostate, and HeLa cervical cancer cells (IC50s = 0.014, 0.00267, 0.072, and 2.46 μM, respectively). CAY10744 induces apoptosis in T47D cells when used at concentrations of 10 and 30 μM. CAY10744 (12 mg/kg per day) reduces tumor growth in an MDA-MB-231 orthotopic mouse model of breast cancer. |1.

Ganglioside GD1b is an acidic glycosphingolipid that contains two sialic acid residues linked to an inner galactose unit. It is a component of plasma membranes where it packs densely with cholesterol to form lipid microdomains that modulate both intra- and intercellular signaling events. The concentration of ganglioside GD1b in human brain increases with age, constituting 7.85% of total sialic acid in the brain of 0- to 10-year-old subjects and 20.29% in 11- to 30-year-old subjects. Ganglioside GD1b mixture contains ganglioside GD1b molecular species with C18:1 and C20:1 fatty acyl chains.
JC-171 is a selective NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor, with an IC50 of 8.45 μM for inhibiting LPS ATP-induced interleukin-1β (IL-1β) release from J774A.1 macrophages[1]. JC-171 (0-100 μM) blocks NLRP3 inflammasome activation and IL-1β production in primary macrophages dose dependently[1]. Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Line: J774A.1 murine macrophage cells JC-171 treatment delays the progression and reduces the severity of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mouse[1]. Animal Model: Mice immunized subcutaneously with 200 μg Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) 35-55 peptide emulsified in Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA) on day 0 followed by injection of 200 ng of pertussis toxin.

Mpro inhibitor N3 hemihydrate is a potent inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro with an EC50 of 16.77 μM for SARS-CoV-2. Mpro inhibitor N3 hemihydrate specifically inhibits Mpro from multiple coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. Mpro inhibitor N3 hemihydrate displays inhibition against HCoV-229E, FIPV, and MHV-A59 with individual IC50 of 4.0 μM, 8.8 μM, and 2.7 μM, respectively[1][2]. Mpro inhibitor N3 hemihydrate (0-0.64 μM) is able to penetrate cells to inhibit the replication of IBV viruses, probably at the beginning of infection in embryos[3]. [1]. Jin Z, et al.
