Bis(diazoacetyl)butane is a mutagen and traditionally related to radio-mimetic chemical mutagens due to the similarity of appearance of mutagenic action of this mutagen and physical mutagens. It also has anti-tumor and carcinogenic activity.
1,4-Dideoxy-1,4-imino-D-arabinitol (DAB) functions as an inhibitor of glycogen phosphorylase, a crucial enzyme in glycogenolysis, demonstrating the ability to hinder this process in isolated liver cells (IC50= 1.0 µM) and cerebral cortex and cerebellum homogenates (IC50s = 463 and 383 nM, respectively). Employed extensively in different animal models, DAB inhibits glycogenolysis within the liver and brain.
High affinity, selective KCa2.2 (SK2) channel blocker (Kd = 3.8 nM). Exhibits >200-fold selectivity for KCa2.2 over KCa2.1, KCa2.3, KCa3.1, IK, Kv and Kir2.1. Increases theta-burst responses and increases LTP in rat hippocampal slices in vitro. Convulsive
Lei-Dab7 TFA, a selective and high-affinity blocker of the K Ca 2.2 (SK2) channel with a dissociation constant (K d) of 3.8 nM, demonstrates over 200-fold selectivity for K Ca 2.2 compared to K Ca 2.1, K Ca 2.3, K Ca 3.1, K v, and Kir2.1. Furthermore, Lei-Dab7 TFA enhances theta-burst responses and long-term potentiation (LTP) in rat hippocampal slices in vitro.
