Migrastatin is a bacterial metabolite that has been found inStreptomyceswith antimuscarinic and anticancer activities.1,2It binds to M1-5muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (Kis = >200, 200, 31, 43, and >200 μM, respectively) and inhibits calcium mobilization induced by carbamoylcholine in SK-N-SH cells (IC50= 28 μM), as well as in primary rat bladder smooth muscle cells.1Migrastatin inhibits the migration of EC17 esophageal cancer cells in a wound healing assay (IC50= 10 μg/ml) and 4T1 mouse mammary carcinoma cells in a chamber cell migration assay (IC50= 29 μM).2It enhances cytotoxicity induced by vinblastine in vincristine-resistant P388/VCR cells.3
Omiganan is a cationic antimicrobial peptide with activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as Candida spp. isolates. This compound, serving as an analogue of indolicidin, is utilized for research purposes related to alcohol nose and acne.
β-Chamigrenal has anti-inflammatory activity, it has inhibitory effects on lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide and prostaglandin E2 production in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Chamigrenal shows platelet-activating factor antagonistic activity and the IC(50)
Ispronicline, also known as AZD3480; TC 1734; TC-0173, and RJR 1734, is a alpha4beta2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-selective agonist with cognition-enhancing and neuroprotective properties. Ispronicline is potentially useful for the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in adults.
