AS2863619 free base enables the conversion of antigen-specific effector memory T cells into Foxp3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells. It is a potent, orally active CDK8 and CDK19 inhibitor (IC50s: 0.61 nM and 4.28 nM). STAT5 activation enhanced by AS2863619 free base inhibition of CDK8 19, which consequently activates the Foxp3 gene.
JAS239 is a novel carbocyanine dye that binds and competitively inhibits choline kinase (ChoK) intracellularly. JAS239 attenuated choline phosphorylation and viability in a panel of human breast cancer cell lines. Antibody blockade prevented cellular retention of JAS239 indicating direct interaction with ChoKα independent of the choline transporters and catabolic choline pathways. In mice bearing orthotopic MCF7 breast xenografts, optical imaging with JAS239 distinguished tumors overexpressing ChoKα from their empty vector counterparts and delineated tumor margins.
AS2575959 is a novel GPR40 agonist, exhibiting glucose metabolism improvement and synergistic effect with sitagliptin on insulin and incretin secretion.
TAS 205 is an inhibitor of hematopoietic prostaglandin D synthase (H-PGDS; IC50= 55.8 nM).1It is selective for H-PGDS over lipocalin-type PGDS (L-PGDS) at 100 μM, as well as over enzyme and receptor panels at 10 μM. TAS 205 inhibits production of prostaglandin D2induced by A23187 in KU812 human and RBL-2H3 rat basophils with IC50values of 78.3 and 181.3 nM, respectively. It inhibits ovalbumin-induced nasal lavage fluid eosinophil infiltration and late-phase nasal obstruction in an ovalbumin-sensitized guinea pig model of allergic rhinitis when administered at a dose of 30 mg kg. 1.Aoyagi, H., Kajiwara, D., Tsunekuni, K., et al.Potential synergistic effects of novel hematopoietic prostaglandin D synthase inhibitor TAS-205 and different types of anti-allergic medicine on nasal obstruction in a Guinea pig model of experimental allergic rhinitisEur.

CU-6PM is a new fluorescent RXR agonist. CU-6PMN was designed based on the fact that umbelliferone emits strong fluorescence in a hydrophilic environment, but the fluorescence intensity decreases in hydrophobic environments such as the interior of proteins. The developed assay CU-6PMN enabled screening of rexinoids to be performed easily within a few hours by monitoring changes of fluorescence intensity with widely available fluorescence microplate readers, without the need for processes such as filtration.
