CCK2R Ligand-Linker Conjugate 1 is a hydrophilic peptide linker that conjugates to the cytotoxic antimicrotubule agents Desacetyl Vinblastine Hydrazide (DAVBH) and Tubulysin B Hydrazide (TubBH) as ligand-linker conjugates[1].
Pinolenic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid found in Korean pine (Pinus orientalis) and maritime pine (Pinus pinaster) seed oils. Both oils have been found to have lipid-lowering properties. A diet containing maritime pine seed oil (MPSO) lowered high-density lipoprotein and ApoA1 levels in transgenic mice expressing human ApoA1. MPSO was found to diminish cholesterol efflux in vitro. Korean pine seed oil supplements may help in obesity by reduction of appetite. People taking this oil had an increase in the satiety hormones CCK and GLP-1 and a reduced desire to eat. The activity of the oil is attributed to pinolenic acid. Pinolenic acid is not converted to arachidonic acid metabolically and can reduce arachidonic acid levels in the phosphatidylinositol fraction of HepG2 cells from 15.9% to 7.0%. Pinolenic acid ethyl ester is a neutral, more lipophilic form of the free acid.
CCK (27-33) is a C-terminal fragment of CCK , a peptide hormone found in the intestine and brain that stimulates digestion, mediates satiety, and is involved in anxiety. Non-sulfated CCK (27-33) inhibits binding of [3H]naloxone in rat cerebellum membranes (IC50 = 4 uM) and inhibits electrically-stimulated contraction of isolated guinea pig ileum (IC50 = 17 uM), an effect that can be reversed by naloxone. Unlike sulfated CCK (27-33), the non-sulfated form does not reduce exploratory behavior in mice when administered at doses up to 1 uMol/kg.
CE-326597 is a potent and selective CCK1R agonist. The type 1 cholecystokinin receptor (CCK1R) has multiple physiologic roles relating to nutrient homeostasis,including mediation of postcibal satiety. The type 1 cholecystokinin (CCK) receptor (CCK1R) is a key mediator of postcibal satiety and a potential target for drugs that may be useful to prevent and or treat obesity.
