Rivoglitazone, also known as CI-1037; CS-011; DE-101; R-119702; Rivo, is a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ agonist (PARPγ agonist) potentially for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Rivoglitazone has been shown, through small clinical studies,
Viquidacin ( NXL-101) is an oral intravenous antibiotic that targets Gram-positive bacteria such as MRSA. In 2008, Novexel announced it had discontinued the development of Viquidacin (NXL 101).
11-cisRetinol is an isomer of vitamin A . It is formed from vitamin A,viaatrans-retinyl ester intermediate, by the enzyme RPE65 in the retinal pigment epithelium and then converted to 11-cis retinal as part of the visual cycle.1,211-cisRetinol is an agonist of salamander and human red rod opsins expressed in COS cells and an inverse agonist of salamander red cone opsin, as well as human red and green cone opsins expressed in COS cells.3It promotes pigment formation in cone, but not rod, photoreceptors. 1.Rando, R.R.The biochemistry of the visual cycleChem.

Ceftolozane, also known as FR-264,205 and CXA-101; is an antibiotic drug from the cephalosporin family, approved for the treatment of infections with gram-negative bacteria, or gram-positive bacteria. Ceftolozane is of great benefit due to its ability to target bacteria that have become resistant to conventional antibiotics. Ceftolozane is combined with the β-lactamase inhibitor tazobactam, as multi-drug resistant bacterial infections will generally show resistance to all β-lactam antibiotics unless this enzyme is inhibited. .
EVT-101, also known as ENS-101, is an experimental medication which originated from Roche and is under development by Evotec AG for the treatment of major depressive disorder. It acts as a selective NMDA receptor subunit 2B (NR2B) antagonist.
INU-101 is an 11β-HSD1 inhibitor. In KKAy mice, ob ob mice, and ZDF rats, oral administration of INU-101 led to enhanced insulin sensitivity and the lowering of the fasting level of glucose in the blood. INU-101 therefore shows promise as a potential treatment for type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
KR-67607, also known as NTX-101 is novel selective 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11β-HSD1) inhibitor. KR-67607 decreased 4-hydroxynonenal expression and increased antioxidant and mucus secretion in BAC-treated rat eyes. KR-67607 showed its protective effects against ischemia-reperfusion-induced eye injury. KR-67607 effectively reduced cortisol levels in mouse eyes and maintained the trabecular meshwork (TM) structure in the presence of transient ischemic stress. Furthermore, KR-67607 reversed the elevation of intra-ocular pressure (IOP), suggesting that the TM structure maintained by KR-67607 prevented the excessive rise in IOP that exacerbates glaucoma.
VMY-1-101 is a synthesized fluorescent CDK inhibitor. VMY-1-101 demonstrates potent CDK inhibitory activity, enhanced induction of G2 M arrest and modest apoptosis as compared to purvalanol B.
EVT-101 is a GluN2B antagonist, binding at the same GluN1 GluN2B dimer interface as ifenprodil but adopting a remarkably different binding mode involving a distinct subcavity and receptor interactions.
Kynurenic acid, an active metabolite of tryptophan, is synthesized through a kynurenine intermediate by kynurenine aminotransferases (KATs). It acts as an antagonist of both NMDA and AMPA receptors, as well as α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs; EC50s = 235, 101, and 7 µM, respectively), and functions as an agonist for the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and G protein-coupled receptor 35 (GPR35; EC50s = 1.4 and 39 µM, respectively). In a neonatal rat model of cerebral hypoxic-ischemia, induced by carotid artery ligation, administration of kynurenic acid at 300 mg kg prevents weight loss in the lesioned hemisphere. Additionally, at concentrations of 1 and 5 mg ml, it protects against neurodegeneration in the rhabdomere of the eye in an Htt93QtransgenicDrosophila model of Huntington's disease. Elevated levels of kynurenic acid in the cerebrospinal fluid have been observed in patients with schizophrenia.
