MS 154 is a potent and selective cereblon-recruiting Degrader (PROTAC®) of mutant epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), comprising a cereblon-binding moiety joined by a linker to gefitinib(Iressa). MS 154 decreases EGFR protein levels, inhibits downstream signaling in and inhibits proliferation of mutant EGFR-bearing lung cancer cells (DC50values are 11 and 25 nM in HCC-827 and H3255 cells, respectively; Dmax> 95% at 50 nM), but not in WT-EGFR-bearing ovarian and lung cancer cells lines. Bioavailable in mice following ip administration.
KAG-308 is an effective selective and orally active agonist of the EP4 receptor (Ki: 2.57 nM and EC50: 17 nM for human EP4 receptor), more selective over EP1, EP2, EP3, and IPreceptor. KAG-308 suppresses colitis and promotes histological mucosal healing,
AMG 487 is an effective and selective antagonist of chemokine receptor 3. AMG 487 inhibited CXCR3-mediated cell migration induced by three CXCR3 chemokines, IP-10, ITAC and MIG (IC50: 8, 15 and 36 nM, respectively).
Ono 1301 is a prostaglandin I2 mimetic coumpound with inhibitory activity against thromboxane A2 synthase. Ono 1301 suppresses pancreatic fibrosis in the DBTC-induced CP model by inhibiting monocyte activity not only with induction of HGF but also by Ono
The inositol phosphates (IPs) are a family of molecules produced by altering the phosphorylation status of each of the six carbons on the cyclic inositol structure. They act as second messengers, regulating a wide array of cellular functions. D-myo-inositol-1,3,4,6-tetraphosphate(Ins(1,3,4,6)-P4) largely acts an intermediate, serving as substrate for inositol-1,3,4,6-tetraphosphate 5-kinase to produce inositol-1,3,4,5,6-pentaphosphate, or inositol-1,3,4,6-tetraphosphate 2-kinase to give inositol-1,2,3,4,6-pentaphosphate. These inositol pentaphosphates can be further phosphorylated to produce inositol-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakisphosphate, or phytic acid, which serves diverse roles in eukaryotic tissues. Ins(1,3,4,6)-P4 is a poor activator of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphospate receptor in vitro. Other functions of this IP remain to be elucidated.
STING agonist 12b is an agonist of stimulator of interferon genes (STING).1It binds to STING (Kd= 26.4 μM) and induces interferon reporter gene expression in cells expressing human or mouse STING (EC50s = 7.45 and 10.23 μM, respectively). STING agonist 12b (40 μM) induces expression of TNF-a, IL-6, IP-10, and IL-1b in THP-1 cells. 1.Hou, S., Lan, X.-j., Li, W., et al.Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of acridone analogues as novel STING receptor agonistsBioorg.

ROS 234 is a highly effective H3 antagonist, demonstrating a strong binding affinity (pK B) of 9.46 for the Guinea-pig ileum H3 receptor and a pKi of 8.90 for the Rat cerebral cortex H3 receptor. Additionally, it exhibits an ex vivo ED50 of 19.12 mg kg (ip) in the Rat cerebral cortex. It should be noted that ROS 234 demonstrates limited central access, as reported in [1] and [2].
Cicaprost (ZK 96480) is a prostacyclin receptor (IP) agonist, which induces relaxation of the artery via concentration-dependent mechanisms. Its EC50 value, determined to be 5.8 nM [1], further highlights its potency.
Cefminox (Sodium) is a new cephamycin antibiotic possessing a D-amino acid moiety derived from D-cysteine at the C-7B side chain. Cefminox is active against a wide range of bacteria, especially Gram-negative and anaerobic bacteria. Cefminox shows excellent in vivo efficacy (ED50) which is higher than would be expected from its in vitro activity (MIC). Moreover, cefminox possesses more potent activity in suppression of bacterial regrowth than other cephems[1]. Cefminox (Sodium) was the most active beta-lactam, with an MIC at which 50% of isolates are inhibited (MIC50) of 1.0 microg ml and an MIC90 of 16.0 microg ml. Cefminox was especially active against Bacteroides fragilis (MIC90, 2.0 microg ml), Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (MIC90, 4.0 microg ml), fusobacteria (MIC90, 1.0 microg ml), peptostreptococci (MIC90, 2.0 microg ml), and clostridia, including Clostridium difficile (MIC90, 2.0 microg ml)[2]. The use of a single preoperative dose of cefminox was similar in efficacy to 3 doses of cefoxitin administered every 4 hours, and that the serum and tissue concentrations attained provide adequate antibiotic coverage[3]. Moreover, cefminox as a dual agonist of IP (Prostacyclin receptor) and PPARγ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma) that significantly inhibits PASMC proliferation by up-regulation of PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog) and cAMP ( cyclic adenosine monophosphate), suggesting that it has potential for treatment of PAH(pulmonary arterial hypertension)[4].
