NAP-1 is a compound with anesthetic activity.1 It increases paired-pulse inhibition in the CA1 region of rat hippocampal brain slices when used at a concentration of 100 μM. NAP-1 also induces loss of righting reflex in tadpoles (EC50 = 0.53 μM).References NAP-1 is a compound with anesthetic activity.1 It increases paired-pulse inhibition in the CA1 region of rat hippocampal brain slices when used at a concentration of 100 μM.

Fanapanel hydrate is a highly selective antagonist of AMPA kainate with little activity against NMDA(Ki of 3.2 nM, 100 nM, and 8.5 μM against quisqualate, kainate, and NMDA, respectively).
Napamezole is an α2 adrenergic receptor antagonist. Napamezole antagonizes methoxamine-induced contractions (alpha-1) of the rat vas deferens with a Kb of 135 nM. Napamezole reverses clonidine-induced decreased in twitch height in the electrically stimula
Darinaparsin is a dimethylated arsenic linked to glutathione. It is cytotoxic to DU145, LNCaP, and PC3 prostate cancer cells (IC50s = 5-10 µM) and patient-derived primary prostate cancer cells (IC50s = 2.5-20 µM), as well as Jurkat T cell lymphoma and L540 Hodgkin lymphoma cells (IC50s = 2.7 and 1.3 µM, respectively). [1][2] It decreases the tumor-initiating subpopulation in DU145 and PC3 cells and halts the cell cycle in the G2 M phase. Darinaparsin decreases transcription of Gli-2, a transcription factor that mediates Sonic hedgehog signaling, when used at a concentration of 1.5 but not 3 µM. It decreases SHP1 phosphatase activity and increases ERK phosphorylation. [2] Darinaparsin reduces tumor growth in DU145 and PC3 prostate cancer mouse xenograft models when administered at a dose of 100 mg kg every other day.[1]
9-cis-Vitamin A palmitate (9-cis-Retinyl palmitate) is a 9-cis isomer resulting from the interaction of vitamin A palmitate in corn flakes. It exhibits a biological activity of 26% compared to all-trans-vitamin A palmitate, which is known to be the most biologically active form of vitamin A.
Lesogaberan (AZD-3355) napadisylate is a potent and selective agonist of GABA B receptors, with an EC 50 of 8.6 nM for human recombinant GABA B receptors. It demonstrates an affinity (Ki) of 5.1 nM for rat GABA B receptors and 1.4 μM for GABA A receptors, as determined by its displacement of [3H]GABA binding in brain membranes. Notably, Lesogaberan napadisylate exerts a peripheral mode of action, inhibiting transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation.
