SRA880 is a non-peptide somatostatin sst(1) receptor antagonist which displays a significantly lower affinity for the other human recombinant somatostatin receptors ( pK(d)= 6.0) or a wide range of neurotransmitter receptors, except for the human dopamine
Donecopride is a partial agonist of the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtype 5-HT4E(Ki= 8.5 nM) and an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE; IC50= 16 nM).1It is selective for AChE over butyrylcholinesterase (BChE; IC50= 3,530 nM) but does bind to 5-HT2Band sigma-2 (σ2) receptors (Ki= 1.6 nM for both) in a panel of 42 neurotransmitter receptors and transporters. Donecopride induces release of soluble amyloid precursor protein-α (sAPP-α) in COS-7 cells transiently expressing 5-HT4with an EC50value of 11.3 nM. Oral administration of donecopride (1 mg/kg) reduces brain soluble and insoluble amyloid-β (1-42) levels and increases the time spent exploring the novel object in the novel object recognition (NOR) test in the 5XFAD transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. Donecopride (3 mg/kg, p.o.) prevents a reduction in spontaneous alternation behavior induced by intracerebroventricular administration of soluble Aβ42 (sAβ42) in the Y-maze in mice.2 1.Lecoutey, C., Hedou, D., Freret, T., et al.Design of donecopride, a dual serotonin subtype 4 receptor agonist/acetylcholinesterase inhibitor with potential interest for Alzheimer's disease treatmentProc.

L-Glutamic acid-15N is the 15N-labeled version of L-Glutamic acid, an excitatory neurotransmitter and an agonist at metabotropic, kainate, NMDA, and AMPA glutamate receptor subtypes. It directly activates the release of dopamine (DA) from dopaminergic terminals.
12,14-Dichlorodehydroabietic acid, a chlorinated resin acid, exhibits potent calcium-activated potassium (BK) channel opening activity. It effectively inhibits GABA-dependent chloride influx in the mammalian brain, functioning as a non-competitive antagonist of GABA A receptors. Moreover, 12,14-Dichlorodehydroabietic acid induces an elevation in cytosolic free calcium levels and promotes the release of neurotransmitters.
FFN 270 is a fluorescent false neurotransmitter (FFN). Fluorescent substrate for NET and VMAT2. Labels noradrenergic neurons and their synaptic vesicles, and enables imaging of synaptic vesicle content release from specific axonal sitesin vivo. Selectively labels NA neurons over other monoamine and CNS targets. Exhibits two resolved absorption/excitation maxima depending on solvent pH (excitation maxima: 320 nm or 365 nm, emission maxima: 475 nm).
Mammalian bombesin-like peptide neurotransmitter that is an agonist for the gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR). GRP has been reported to activate GABAergic interneurons in the amygdala leading to increased GABA release and fear suppression in mice
