HTS01037 is an inhibitor of fattyacid-binding. HTS01037 is a competitive antagonist of protein-protein interactions mediated by AFABP aP2 (Ki: 0.67 μM).
Nicodicosapent is a fattyacid niacin conjugate. It is also an inhibitor of the sterol regulatory element-bindingprotein (SREBP). The sterol regulatory element-bindingprotein (SREBP) is a key regulator of cholesterol metabolism proteins such as PCSK9, H
The phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) phosphates represent a small percentage of total membrane phospholipids. However, they play a critical role in the generation and transmission of cellular signals. PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3, also known as PIP3, is resistant to cleavage by PI-specific phospholipase C (PLC). Thus, it is likely to function in signal transduction as a modulator in its own right, rather than as a source of inositol tetraphosphates. PIP3 can serve as an anchor for the binding of signal transduction proteins bearing pleckstrin homology (PH) domains. Proteinbinding to PIP3 is important for cytoskeletal rearrangement and membrane trafficking. PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3 (1,2-dihexanoyl) is a synthetic analog of natural PIP3 with C6:0 fattyacids at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions. The compound features the same inositol and diacylglycerol (DAG) stereochemistry as that of the natural compound. The short fattyacid chains of this analog give it different physical properties from naturally-occurring PIP3, including higher solubility in aqueous media.

FFA2 allosteric agonist. Inhibits forskolin-induced cAMP increase and stimulates 35SGTPγS binding in biochemical assays (pEC50 values are 6.9 and 7.23, respectively). Binds at allosteric binding site. In functional assays, displays positive allosteric modulation of FFA-induced Gi signaling and negative allosteric modulation of FFA-induced Gq/G11 signaling. Inhibits lipolytic effect of isoproterenol (pEC50 = 5.03) and induces migration of human neutrophils in vitro.

Sodium palmitate-13C is the 13C-labeled variant of palmitic acid, a long-chain saturated fattyacid prevalent in animals and plants. This compound has been shown to induce the expression of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and CCAAT/enhancer-bindingprotein homologous protein (CHOP) in mouse granulosa cells.
Palmitic acid-13C16 sodium, a 13C-labeled form of the naturally occurring saturated fattyacid Palmitic acid sodium, is prevalent in animals and plants. This compound can trigger the expression of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and CCAAT enhancer bindingprotein homologous protein (CHOP) in mouse granulosa cells.
Palmitic acid-13C2 is the 13C-labeled Palmitic acid. Palmitic acid is a long-chain saturated fattyacid commonly found in both animals and plants. Palmitic acid can induce the expression of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and CCAAT enhancer bindingprotein homologous protein (CHOP) in in mouse granulosa cells.
PSB-17365 is a potent GPR84 agonist. PSB-17365 exhibits EC50 values vs. GPR84 of 2.5nM in a cAMP accumulation assay, and 100nM in a β-arrestin 2 recruitment assay. No direct binding affinities are provided. PSB-17365 is selective for GPR84 compared to other free fattyacid receptors (FFAR1 and FFAR4). GPR84, a Gi protein-coupled receptor that is activated by medium-chain (hydroxy)fattyacids, appears to play an important role in inflammation, immunity, and cancer.
DHA-paclitaxel, also know as Taxoprexin, is prodrug comprised of the naturally occurring omega-3 fattyacid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) covalently conjugated to the anti-microtubule agent paclitaxel. Because tumor cells take up DHA, DHA-paclitaxel is delivered directly to tumor tissue, where the paclitaxel moiety binds to tubulin and inhibits the disassembly of microtubules, thereby resulting in the inhibition of cell division. Paclitaxel also induces apoptosis by binding to and blocking the function of the apoptosis inhibitor protein Bcl-2 (B-cell Leukemia 2). DHA-paclitaxel exhibits improved pharmacokinetic and toxicity profiles when compared to conventional paclitaxel and has demonstrated antineoplastic activity in animal models of cancer.
