NFAT:AP-1 inhibitor-10 is a novel inhibitor of the NFAT:AP-1:DNA interaction on the ARRE-2 element, binding to DNA in a sequence-selective manner and inhibiting the transcription of the Il2 gene and several other cyclosporin A-sensitive cytokine genes important for the effector immune response.
Ketomethylenebestatin is a carba-analog of bestatin,the aminopeptidase (AP) inhibitor. Ketomethylenebestatin is 10 fold less effective as an inhibitor of aminopeptidases than bestatin.
GYKI 52466 is an allosteric AMPA receptor antagonist. It selectively inhibits AMPA-induced inward currents (IC50 = 7.5 µM) over NMDA- or GABA-induced inward currents in primary rat hippocampal neurons at 50 µM but also inhibits kainate-induced inward currents in the same cells (IC50 = 11 µM).2 GYKI 52466 (10 µM) reduces the amplitude of spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) in the same cells. It increases the latency to seizure onset and reduces mortality in a rat model of generalized tonic-clonic seizures induced by 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) when administered at doses of 25 and 50 mg kg. GYKI 52466 (30 mg kg) prevents neuronal damage in the CA1 region of the hippocampus in a rat model of global ischemia-reperfusion injury induced by four-vessel occlusion.
Rocaglaol is a potent anticancer drug that induces apoptosis of LNCaP cells through the mitochondrial pathway and its G2 M-phase cell cycle arrest is associated with the down-regulation of Cdc25C and the dephosphorylation of Cdc2. Rocaglaol can reduce tis
