Ifenprodil glucuronide, a derivative of Ifenprodil, is a vasodilator and an inhibitor of platelet aggregation. In contrast to Ifenprodil, Ifenprodil glucuronide does not affect platelet aggregation nor arterial contraction.
BHPI is a potent inhibitor of nuclear estrogen–ERα-regulated gene expression. Elicits sustained ERα-dependent activation of the endoplasmic reticulum (EnR) stress sensor, the unfolded protein response (UPR), and persistent inhibition of protein synthesis.
PK14105 has been evaluated biologically as a potential radioligand for positron emission tomography (PET) studies targeting peripheral benzodiazepine binding sites (PBBS) receptors. When administered to rats with unilaterally lesioned striata, PK14105 was observed to quickly cross the blood-brain barrier, displaying significant radioactivity retention in the lesioned striatum, in contrast to the unlesioned striatum or cerebellar vermis. Additionally, PK14105 has the capability to inhibit receptor ligands, calcium channel ligands, and co-transporters in all salivary glands.
