Covidcil-19 binds to the revised attenuator hairpin structure of the SARS-CoV-2 frameshifting element (FSE) with high affinity (Kd = 11 nM). It stabilizes the hairpin's folded state and reduces frameshifting efficiency in cells. Covidcil-19 inhibits viral propagation and reduces viral infectivity by > 3.5 orders of magnitude.
(±)19(20)-EDP ethanolamide is an ω-3 endocannabinoid epoxide and cannabinoid (CB) receptor agonist (EC50s = 108 and 280 nM for CB1 and CB2, respectively). It is produced through direct epoxygenation of docosahexaenoyl ethanolamide by cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenases. (±)19(20)-EDP ethanolamide (25 μM) reduces the viability of 143B metastatic osteosarcoma cells. It decreases the production of IL-6 and increases the production of IL-10 when used at concentrations ranging from 2.5 to 10 μM in BV-2 microglia stimulated by LPS and decreases LPS-induced cytotoxicity when used at concentrations ranging from 5 to 10 μM. It also decreases nitrite production when used at a concentration of 7.5 μM, an effect that can be partially reversed by the CB2 receptor antagonist AM630 and the PPARγ antagonist GW 9662 . (±)19(20)-EDP ethanolamide induces vasodilation of isolated preconstricted bovine coronary arteries (ED50 = 1.9 μM) and reduces tube formation by human microvascular endothelial cells (HMVECs) in a Matrigel assay.
BMSpep-57 hydrochloride, a potent macrocyclic peptide, competitively inhibits PD-1/PD-L1 interaction, exhibiting an IC50 value of 7.68 nM. It binds to PD-L1 with dissociation constants (Kds) of 19 nM and 19.88 nM as determined by MST and SPR assays, respectively. This compound enhances T cell functionality by promoting IL-2 production in PBMCs[1].
BMSpep-57, a potent macrocyclic peptide inhibitor, competitively disrupts the PD-1 PD-L1 interaction, demonstrating a significant inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 7.68 nM. It exhibits binding affinity towards PD-L1 with dissociation constants (Kd) of 19 nM and 19.88 nM in MicroScale Thermophoresis (MST) and Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) assays, respectively. This compound enhances T cell functionality by promoting Interleukin-2 (IL-2) production within Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs).
