ACT-281959, a prodrug of ACT-246475, is a novel potent and selective P2Y12 Receptor Antagonist with a Wider Therapeutic Window in the Rat Than Clopidogrel. ACT-281959 showed antithrombotic efficacy after oral administration in the rat ferric chloride model. ACT-281959 entered clinical studies in healthy volunteers.
CHS-828 nicotinate is a CHS-828 salt with Nicotinic acid.. CHS-828 also known as GMX-1778, is a potent and selective NAMPT inhibitor. CHS-828 inhibits cellular synthesis of NAD. CHS 828 kill tumour cells by inhibiting the nuclear factor-kappaB translocation but unlikely through down-regulation of proteasome. CHS 828 has shown promising anticancer activity in experimental tumor models and primary cultures of cancer cells from patients. CHS 828 showed a synergistic effect with melphalan in 67%, doxorubicin in 47%, etoposide in 38% and Ara-C in 14% of AML samples.
Ganglioside GD1a is a sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipid found in brain, erythrocytes, bone marrow, testis, spleen, and liver. [1] It can be shed from the surface of tumor cells into the microenvironment where it influences tumor-host cell interactions to promote tumor cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis. Ganglioside GD1a (20 μM) also increases endothelial cell proliferation. Furthermore, ganglioside GD1a has been shown to act as a functional coreceptor for toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), enabling the recruitment of TLR2 to lipid rafts when bound by a bacterial toxin.[2] Ganglioside GD1a mixture contains ganglioside GD1a molecular species with C18:1 and C20:1 sphingoid backbones.
Coenzyme Q10 is a component of the electron transport chain and participates in aerobic cellular respiration, generating energy in the form of ATP. In its reduced form, it acts as an antioxidant. Coenzyme Q2 is a precursor of coenzyme Q10 that has 2, rather than 10, isoprenoid units on the ubiquinone base. It can act as an electron acceptor for bacterial Complex I. In mammalian cells, exogenous coenzyme Q2 prevents the production of reactive oxygen species associated with Complex I activity. Forms of coenzyme Q with shorter isoprenoid chains, including coenzyme Q2, induce p53-dependent apoptosis in human B-cell acute lymphoblastoid leukemia BALL-1 cells.
