JHU-58 is a novel dipeptide MrgC agonist. JHU-58 inhibited both mechanical and heat hypersensitivity in rats after an L5 spinal nerve ligation (SNL). JHU58 attenuated the evoked excitatory postsynaptic currents in substantia gelatinosa (SG) neurons in wild-type mice, but not in Mrg knockout mice, after peripheral nerve injury.
Picoplatin has a broad spectrum of antineoplastic activity and is designed to overcome platinum drug resistance. Picoplatin alkylates DNA, forming both intra- and inter-strand cross-linkages, resulting in the inhibition of DNA replication and transcriptio
