The endocannabinoids, 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) and arachidonoyl ethanolamide (AEA), are biologically active lipids that regulate diverse neurological and metabolic functions by activating the cannabinoid receptors, central cannabinoid (CB1) and peripheral cannabinoid (CB2). Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) and fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) hydrolyze 2-AG and AEA, respectively, thus terminating their biological function. IDFP is an organophosphorus compound that dually inhibits MAGL and FAAH with IC50 values of 0.8 and 3 nM, respectively. At 10 mg/kg, IDFP elevates brain levels of 2-AG and AEA more than 10-fold, and decreases levels of arachidonic acid by a similar magnitude.
PBS-1086 is a novel dual inhibitor of the canonical and noncanonical NF-κB pathways, increasing the magnitude and duration of initial EGFR inhibitor response in multiple NSCLC models, decreasing PDHK1 expression, and suppressing phosphorylation of the PDHK1 protein substrate PDHA1 in a panel of PTEN-deficient cell lines.
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.
Cryptophycin analog 1, an ADC payload, exhibits anticancer activity and demonstrates cellular potency an order of magnitude greater than the approved ADC payloads MMAE and DM1 [1].
Selective NaV1.7 channel blocker. Shifts activation gating positively and decreases current magnitude. Displays 100-fold selectivity over other sodium channel subtypes.
Amyloid A proteins (H2N-Ala-Gly-Leu-Pro-Glu-Lys-Tyr-OH) are a family of apolipoproteins associated with high-density lipoprotein in plasma. Different isoforms of SAA are expressed constitutively at different levels or in response to inflammatory stimuli.
