Bombesin receptor antagonist that inhibits bombesin binding to rat brain with an IC50 value of 2 μM. Inhibits amylase release in vitro (IC50 = 4 μM) and attenuates bombesin-mediated suppression of food intake in vivo.
Selective and competitive nociceptin receptor antagonist, devoid of any agonist activity. Binds selectively to recombinant nociceptin receptors (pKi = 8.4), and competitively antagonizes the actions of nociceptin in vitro and in vivo.
Potent agonist of the nociceptin (ORL1) receptor, demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo. Selective, competitive antagonism at the nociceptin receptor has also been reported (pA2 = 7.02 and 6.75 in the guinea pig ileum and mouse vas deferens respectively)
D18 is an immune modulator that acts as a dual agonist for TLR7 8 (with EC50 values of 24 nM for hTLR7 and 10 nM for hTLR8, respectively). It enhances the expression of PD-L1 through epigenetic regulation, thereby increasing the sensitivity of tumors to PD-1 PD-L1 blockade. Additionally, D18 functions as a cytotoxin for ADC synthesis, specifically for the ADC HE-S2 [1].
AMD 3465 also potently inhibits the replication of X4 HIV strains (IC50: 1-10 nM). However, it has no effect on CCR5-using (R5) viruses. AMD 3465 (GENZ-644494) is a potent antagonist of CXCR4, inhibits binding of 12G5 mAb and CXCL12AF647 to CXCR4, with IC
N-desmethyl Rosuvastatin is an active metabolite of the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor rosuvastatin .1,2N-desmethyl Rosuvastatin is formed when rosuvastatin undergoes demethylation, primarily by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP2C9 and to a lesser extent by CYP2C19 and CYP3A4.1 1.Macwan, J.S., Ionita, I.A., and Akhlaghi, F.A simple assay for the simultaneous determination of rosuvastatin acid, rosuvastatin-5S-lactone, and N-desmethyl rosuvastatin in human plasma using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)Anal.

Palmitic acid-13C (C1, C2, C3, and C4 labeled) is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of palmitic acid by GC- or LC-MS. Palmitic acid is a common 16-carbon saturated fat that represents 10-20% of human dietary fat intake and comprises approximately 25 and 65% of human total plasma lipids and saturated fatty acids, respectively.1,2Acylation of palmitic acid to proteins facilitates anchoring of membrane-bound proteins to the lipid bilayer and trafficking of intracellular proteins, promotes protein-vesicle interactions, and regulates various G protein-coupled receptor functions.1Red blood cell palmitic acid levels are increased in patients with metabolic syndrome compared to patients without metabolic syndrome and are also increased in the plasma of patients with type 2 diabetes compared to individuals without diabetes.3,4 1.Fatima, S., Hu, X., Gong, R.-H., et al.Palmitic acid is an intracellular signaling molecule involved in disease developmentCell.

YW3-56 is a potent peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) inhibitor, with an IC50 of 1-5 μM for PAD4. Compared with Cl-amidine, YW3-56 shows >60-fold increase in cell growth inhibition efficacy (IC50 about 2.5 μM) but only 5-fold increase in PAD4 inhibition (IC sub>50 about 1-5 μM). At 2-4 μM concentrations, YW3-56 displays mainly cytostatic effects by slowing cell division, whereas at higher concentrations, it exerts cytotoxic effects by altering cell morphology and killing cells[1].
