AK-135 is a derivative of 1,4-naphthoquinone (Menadione). AK-135 has been shown to restore the electron flow in defective respiratory chain (hypoxia or rotenone) systems more effectively than Menadione.
AK-106, also known as AK106-001616, is a selective inhibitor of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) inhibitor. AK-106 has been shown to have analgesic activites similar to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
MRT199665 is an effective and ATP-competitive, selective MARK/SIK/AMPK inhibitor (IC50s of 2/2/3/2 nM, 10/10 nM, and 110/12/43 nM for MARK1/MARK2/MARK3/MARK14, AMPKα1/AMPKα2, and SIK1/SIK2/SIK3, respectively). MRT199665 suppresses the phosphorylation of S
