Heptamidine is an effective Pentamidine-related inhibitor of the calcium-binding protein S100B (Kd: 6.9 μM). It selectively kills melanoma cells with S100B over those without S100B. It is a useful tool for the investigation of Myotonic dystrophy.
ILS-920 is a Rapamycin analog characterized by diminished immunosuppressive effects but remarkable neuroprotective properties. It exhibits selective binding affinity towards the immunophilin FKBP52 as well as the β1-subunit of L-type voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC). ILS-920 displays a notable 200-fold preference for FKBP52 over FKBP12.
PK14105 has been evaluated biologically as a potential radioligand for positron emission tomography (PET) studies targeting peripheral benzodiazepine binding sites (PBBS) receptors. When administered to rats with unilaterally lesioned striata, PK14105 was observed to quickly cross the blood-brain barrier, displaying significant radioactivity retention in the lesioned striatum, in contrast to the unlesioned striatum or cerebellar vermis. Additionally, PK14105 has the capability to inhibit receptor ligands, calcium channel ligands, and co-transporters in all salivary glands.
BMS-933043 is a Selective α7 nAChR partial agonist. BMS-933043 showed potent binding affinity to native rat (Ki = 3.3 nM) and recombinant human alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (Ki = 8.1 nM). BMS-933043 shows agonist activity in a calcium fluoresc
PD 122860 is a dihydropyridine with calcium channel blocking and sodium channel stimulating properties. In the rat heart, PD 122860 increased left ventricular contractility, decreased coronary resistance and altered the shape of the electrocardiogram T-wa
PD-217014 is a GABA analog. It inhibits (3)H-gabapentin binding to alpha(2)delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in a concentration-dependent manner (K(i) = 18 nmol/l). PD-217014 possesses visceral analgesic activity.
LU 49888 is a photoaffinity analog of verapamil that has been used to identify specific binding sites for phenylalkylamines of calcium channels present in rabbit skeletal muscle microsomes.
T-5342126 is a toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) antagonist.1It reduces LPS-induced production of nitric oxide (NO) in RAW 264.7 cells (IC50= 27.8 μM), as well as decreases LPS-induced IL-8, TNF-α, and IL-6 production in isolated human whole blood (IC50s = 110.5, 315.6, and 318.4 μM, respectively). T-5342126 (82 mg kg) reduces ethanol intake and the abundance of ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba1), a marker of microglial activation, in the central nucleus of the amygdala in ethanol-dependent mice.2 1.Chavez, S.A., Martinko, A.J., Lau, C., et al.Development of β-amino alcohol derivatives that inhibit toll-like receptor 4 mediated inflammatory response as potential antisepticsJ.
