Humangrowthhormone-releasing factor stimulates GH production and release by binding to the GHRH Receptor (GHRHR) on cells in the anterior pituitary.Growthhormone-releasing hormone is a hormone produced in the hypothalamus. The main role of growth hormo
TTA-P1 is a highly potent compound that effectively inhibits human T-type calcium channels, which are involved in various physiological processes such as neuronal burst firing, hormone secretion, and cell growth. With its unique state-independent properties, TTA-P1 holds promising potential for advancing research on absence epilepsy [1].
IRC-083927 HCl is novel and potent microtubule inhibitor with potential anticancer activity. IRC-083927 inhibits the tubulin polymerization by a binding to the colchicine site. IRC-083927 inhibits in vitro cell growth of human cancer cell lines in the low nanomolar range. More interesting, it remains highly active against cell lines resistant to microtubule-interacting agents (taxanes, Vinca alkaloids, or epothilones). Chronic oral treatment with IRC-083927 (5 mg kg) inhibits the growth of two human tumor xenografts in nude mice (C33-A, human cervical cancer and MDA-MB-231, humanhormone-independent breast cancer). Together, the antitumor effects induced by IRC-083927 on tumor models resistant to tubulin agents support further investigations to fully evaluate its potential for the treatment of advanced cancers, particularly those resistant to current clinically available drugs.
Somatostatin, also known as growthhormone-inhibiting hormone, is a naturally-occurring peptide hormone of 14 or 28 amino acid residues that regulates the endocrine system. It is secreted by the D cells of the islets to inhibit the release of insulin and
