3M-011, a potent dual toll-like receptor TLR7 8 agonist and cytokine inducer, serves as a powerful adjuvant to radiotherapy, eliciting significant local and systemic immune responses. Additionally, it effectively inhibits H3N2 influenza viral replication in the nasal cavity and exhibits strong antitumor activity[1][2][3].
HQ-415 is a class of clinically relevant bioactive metal chelators related to clioquinol. The effective concentration eliciting an EC50 for HQ-415 is 15 μM.
Neuromedin U (NMU) is a neuropeptide first demonstrated to drive smooth muscle contraction.1Translated as a 174 amino acid propeptide, NMU is cleaved to different lengths in different animals. It has diverse receptor-mediated rolesin vivo, as it regulates feeding, vasoconstriction, nociception, and bone remodeling and contributes to obesity, cancer and septic shock.2,2NMU-25 is the active form of NMU in humans. It binds with high affinity to receptors on human left ventricle and coronary artery (KDs = 0.26 and 0.11 nM, respectively), eliciting endothelium-independent vasoconstriction.3NMU-25 also suppresses glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in human islets, and this effect is lost in NMU R165W mutants, resulting in early-onset obesity.4 1.Mitchell, J.D., Maguire, J.J., and Davenport, A.P.Emerging pharmacology and physiology of neuromedin U and the structurally related peptide neuromedin SBritish Journal of Pharmacology15887-103(2009) 2.Greenwood, H.C., Bloom, S.R., and Murphy, K.G.Peptides and their potential role in the treatment of diabetes and obesityRev.Diabet.Stud.8(3)355-368(2011) 3.Mitchell, J.D., Maguire, J.J., Kuc, R.E., et al.Expression and vasoconstrictor function of anorexigenic peptides neuromedin U-25 and S in the human cardiovascular systemCardiovascular Research81353-361(2009) 4.Alfa, R.W., Park, S., Skelly, K.R., et al.Suppression of insulin production and secretion by a decretin hormoneCell Metabolism21(2)323-333(2015)
6α-Prostaglandin I1 (6α-PGI1) is a stable Prostaglandin I2 (PGI2) analog resistant to hydrolysis in aqueous solutions. 6α-PGI1 promotes cyclic AMP accumulation in human thyroid slices and cells in a concentration dependent manner. However, it is about 10-fold less potent than the β-isomer and 100-fold less potent than PGI2 in eliciting the response. 6α-PGI1 exhibits an IC50 of 350 ng ml for inhibition of ADP-induced platelet aggregation, which is nearly 900-fold higher than that observed for PGI2 (0.4 ng ml).
LTB3 is the LTA hydrolase metabolite of LTA3 in the leukotriene biosynthetic pathway. LTB3 and LTB4 are equipotent in their pro-inflammatory effects. However, LTB3 is five times less potent than LTB4 in eliciting chemotaxis of human neutrophils.
Capsaicin is the primary active component of the heat and pain-eliciting lipid soluble fraction of the Capsicum pepper. Capsaicin signals are transduced by a heat-activated ion channel, the vanilloid receptor 1 (VR1), or transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1). CAY10448 is an iodinated nonivamide, a potent capsaicin receptor antagonist with an IC50 value of approximately 10 nM.
TET 830 modified T-helper epitope from tetanus toxoid is a T-cell stimulating peptide derived from tetanus toxoid. It acts as a helper peptide in vaccinations, eliciting T-cell responses.
RGD Trifluoroacetate is a tripeptide that binds to integrins, effectively triggering cell adhesion, targeting specific cell lines, and eliciting particular cell responses. It is the most effective and frequently employed peptide for these purposes [RGD Trifluoroacetate].
