Pyrromecaine is a local anesthetic used for surface anesthesia. Pyromecaine has a wide spectrum of antiarrhythmic action, exerts a favorable effect on the contractility of the left ventricle, and on the myocardial blood flow following the ligation of the
δ14-Triamcinolone acetonide is a potential impurity found in commercial preparations of triamcinolone acetonide. Triamcinolone acetonide is a synthetic corticosteroid. It decreases cytokine levels, the firing rate of sensory neurons, and mechanical hypersensitivity in a rat spinal nerve ligation model when used at a dose of 1.5 mg/kg prior to and following surgery for three days. Triamcinolone acetonide also decreases outflow facility in a mouse model of steroid-induced glaucoma when 20 μl of a 40 mg/ml suspension is administered subconjunctivally. Formulations containing triamcinolone acetonide are used in the treatment of diabetic macular edema.
5’-O-DMT-Ri can be used in the synthesis of oligoribonucleotides[1]. [1]. Kadokura M. Synthesis of 4-thiouridine, 6-thioinosine, and 6-thioguanosine 3’,5’-O-bisphosphates as donor molecules for RNA ligation and their application to the synthesis of photoactivatable TMG-capped U1 snRNA fragments. J Org Chem. 2000 Aug 25;65(17):5104-13.
LL-37 is a cationic and α-helical antimicrobial peptide expressed in human bone marrow, testis, granulocytes, and gingival epithelium and is upregulated in psoriatic lesions. It inhibits growth of Gram-positive E. coli D21 and Gram-negative B. megatarium in a concentration-dependent manner and LL-37 expression is induced in A549 epithelial cells, alveolar macrophages, neutrophils, and monocyte-derived macrophages following M. tuberculosis infection. LL-37 binds sheep erythrocytes coated with S. minnesota Re-LPS and induces agglutination with a minimal agglutinating concentration (MAC) of 12.1 μg/ml. It is a chemoattractant for, and can induce calcium mobilization in, human monocytes, neutrophils, and T cells that naturally express formyl peptide receptor-like 1 (FPRL1) and FPRL1-transfected HEK293 cells. LL-37 (10-15 μM) pretreatment of dengue virus type 2 (DENV-2) reduces its infectivity as well as levels of viral genomic RNA and NS1 antigen. In vivo, LL-37 inhibits cecal ligation and puncture-induced caspase-1 activation and pyroptosis of peritoneal macrophages, reduces levels of the inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, and improves survival in polybacterial septic mice.
Etoposide phosphate disodium (BMY-40481 disodium), a phosphate ester prodrug of etoposide, functions as a potent chemotherapeutic agent by selectively inhibiting topoisomerase II, hindering the re-ligation of DNA strands. It is regarded as the active equivalent of etoposide, effectively inducing cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and autophagy in cancer cells.
Ni(II) protoporphyrin IX is a metalloporphyrin compound characterized by its limited propensity for axial ligation and its distortion upon binding to ferrochelatase.
JHU-58 is a novel dipeptide MrgC agonist. JHU-58 inhibited both mechanical and heat hypersensitivity in rats after an L5 spinal nerve ligation (SNL). JHU58 attenuated the evoked excitatory postsynaptic currents in substantia gelatinosa (SG) neurons in wild-type mice, but not in Mrg knockout mice, after peripheral nerve injury.
