R-82913 is a RNA-directed DNA polymerase inhibitor. R 82913 reduce 5-HT2 receptor-mediated DOI-head-shakes in mice. R82913 inhibited the replication of thirteen different strains of HIV-1 in CEM cells with a median IC50 of 0.15 microM. R82913 was 20-fold
PACAP-related peptide (PRP) is an endogenous 29-amino acid peptide that belongs to the secretin/glucagon superfamily of peptides, which includes secretin , glucagon , glucagon-like peptide-1 , GLP-2 , and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide . It is expressed in rat hypothalamus as well as within the nerves of the median eminence, the anterior pituitary, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, cerebellum, cerebral cortex, and amygdala. PRP is also expressed in vaginal, uterine cervical, uterine horn, fallopian tube, and ovarian tissues from the rat female genital tract and is present in extracts of male testis tissue.
β-Endorphin (1-27) is an endogenous peptide that binds to μ-, δ-, and κ-opioid receptors (Kis = 5.31, 6.17, and 39.82 nM, respectively, in COS-1 cells expressing rat receptors). It binds to rat and mouse brain membrane preparations (IC50s = 1.1 and 5.7 nM, respectively) and induces chemotaxis of human monocytes in vitro when used at a concentration of 1 nM. Intracerebroventricular administration of β-endorphin (1-27) increases the latency to tail withdrawal in response to thermal stimulation in mice with a median antinociceptive dose (AD50) of 1,500 pmol per animal. It inhibits antinociception induced by β-endorphin in mice in response to thermal stimuli when administered at a dose of 65 pmol per animal. In rats, β-endorphin (1-27) does not affect drug-associated place preference when administered at doses up to 20 μg, i.c.v., but inhibits β-endorphin-induced place preference when administered at a dose of 10 μg per animal.
AMP423 is a naphthyl derivative of 2-cyanoaziridine-1-carboxamide with structural similarity to the pro-oxidant anti-tumor agent imexon. AMP423 was active in SCID mice bearing 8226 S myeloma and SU-DHL-6 B-cell lymphoma tumors, with a median tumor growth delay (T-C) of 21 days (P = 0.0002) and 5 days (P = 0.004), respectively, and a median tumor growth inhibition (T C) of 33.3% (P = 0.03) and 82% (P = 0.01), respectively. In non-tumor-bearing mice, AMP423 was not myelosuppressive.
Territrem B is a mycotoxin that irreversibly inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE). It is toxic to mice, inducing tremors with a median tremulous dose of 0.21 mg kg.
Thromboxane B2 (TXB2) is a compound significantly released from aggregating platelets and undergoes metabolic transformation during circulation into 11-dehydro TXB2 and 2,3-dinor TXB2. The latter, 2,3-dinor TXB2, serves as a prevalent urinary metabolite of TXB2 and acts as an indicator for in vivo TXA2 synthesis. Studies have shown that in healthy male volunteers, the median excretion rate of 2,3-dinor TXB2 is measured at 10.3 ng hour, equivalent to 138 pg mg of creatinine.
Fumitremorgen B is a mycotoxin, it exhibits a certain degree of genotoxicity, it can cause DNA damage in human lymphocytes; it shows an inhibitory activity on the cell cycle progression of mouse tsFT210 cells in the M phase, with the MIC value of 26.1 mic
