SARS-CoV-2-IN-11 is a highly potent and non-toxic inhibitor of the 3C-like protease (3CLpro) of SARS-CoV-2, demonstrating IC50 and EC50 values of 0.17 nM and 1.45 nM, respectively. This compound targets the essential viral replication enzyme, 3CLpro, making it an attractive candidate for intervention strategies. SARS-CoV-2-IN-11 holds significant promise in the development of specific antivirals against SARS-CoV-2.
Galanin (2-11) amide is a synthetic peptide fragment of the neuropeptide galanin and an agonist of the galanin-2 (GAL2) receptor (EC50= 9.32 nM in a fluorescence imaging plate reader assay).1It selectively binds to the GAL2receptor (IC50= 1.76 nM for the rat receptor) over the GAL1receptor (IC50= 879 nM for the human receptor) but does also bind to the GAL3receptor (Ki= 271 nM for the rat receptor).1,2Intracerebroventricular administration of galanin (2-11) amide (1 nmol/animal) decreases immobility in the forced swim test in rats.3It also reduces the hind paw mechanical pain threshold and increases the hind paw cold sensitivity threshold in rats.1
[Sar9,Met(O2)11]-Substance P TFA is a selective tachykinin NK1 receptor agonist.[Sar9,Met(O2)11]-Substance P and septide (10-100 pmol per rat, i.c.v.) are equipotent inincreasing mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR), yet they have dissi
