Cytochalasin B is a mycotoxin binding to the barbed end of actin filaments. It can disrupt the formation of actin polymers (Kd: 1.4-2.2 nM for F-actin).
GSK-3532795 is a second generation inhibitor of hiv-1 maturation, exhibiting a broader spectrum of antiviral effect in vitro and in clinical studies than the prototypical maturation inhibitor bevirimat
Potent and selective TRPV1 antagonist. Blocks Ca2+ uptake by CHO cells expressing TRPV1 receptors and acid-induced Ca2+ uptake, respectively). Exhibits >4000-fold selectivity for TRPV1 over other TRP channels. Blocks capsaicin-induced flinch response and causes hyperthermia in rats. Orally available and non-CNS penetrant.
