AB-729, a nucleoside analogue functioning as an RNA interference (RNAi), links to a GalNAc (N-acetylgalactosamine) trimer ligand facilitating hepatocyte uptake through the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGR). This compound effectively impedes viral replication and diminishes HBV antigens.
NBI-34041 is an effective and high-affinity CRF1 receptor antagonist that effectively reduces endocrine responses to CRF(1) receptor-mediated pharmacological and behavioral challenges.
Hodgkinsine B is an alkaloid and isomer of hodgkinsine that has analgesic activity.1It increases the latency to tail withdrawal in the tail-flick test in mice when administered at a dose of 10 mg kg. 1.Kodanko, J.J., Hiebert, S., Peterson, E.A., et al.Synthesis of all low-energy stereoisomers of the tris(pyrrolidinoindoline) alkaloid hodgkinsine and preliminary assessment of their antinociceptive activityJ.

Destruxin B2 is a cyclic hexadepsipeptide mycotoxin that has been found in M. anisopliae and has antiviral, insecticidal, and phytotoxic activities.1,2,3 It inhibits secretion of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) by Hep3B cells expressing hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA (IC50 = 1.3 μM).1 Destruxin B2 is toxic to Sf9 insect cells in an electric cell-substrate impedance sensing (ECIS) test with a 50% inhibitory concentration (ECIS50) value of 92 μM.4 It is also phytotoxic to B. napus leaves.3 |1.

TAN 420E is a bacterial metabolite originally isolated from Streptomyces. It scavenges 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radicals in a cell-free assay (IC50 = 1.3 μM) and reduces thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in rat liver microsomes by 72% when used at a concentration of 100 μg/ml. TAN 420E is active against B. brevis, B. cereus, M. flavus, and S. aureus (MICs = 50-100 μg/ml). It is cytotoxic to P388 and KB lymphocytic leukemia cells (EC50s = 0.022 and 0.3 μg/ml, respectively).
