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

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].
