Casopitant mesylate (GW679769B) is a selective, brain permeable, and orally active antagonist of neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor. It is a second in the class of antiemetics.
Benzomalvin B is a fungal metabolite originally isolated from Penicillium. It acts as an antagonist of neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptors, inhibiting binding of substance P by 24% in vitro when used at a concentration of 100 μg ml.
Benzomalvin C is a weak antagonist of the neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor inhibiting binding of substance P by 46% when used at 100 μg ml in vitro. It is also a weak inhibitor of indolamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) with an IC50 value of 130 μM for recombinant IDO. It was isolated from Penicillium and contains an epoxide group at C-19 and C-20, which is not present in benzomalvins A, B, or E.
Rolapitant Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of rolapitant, an orally bioavailable, centrally-acting, selective, neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1-receptor) antagonist with potential antiemetic activity.
Rolapitant, also known as SCH-619734, is an orally bioavailable, centrally-acting, selective, neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1-receptor) antagonist with potential antiemetic activity. Upon oral administration, rolapitant competitively binds to and blocks the activity of the NK1-receptor in the central nervous system, thereby inhibiting the binding of the endogenous ligand, substance P (SP). This may prevent both SP-induced emesis and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). The interaction of SP with the NK1-receptor plays a key role in the induction of nausea and vomiting caused by emetogenic cancer chemotherapy.
Nolpitantium Free Base is a highly selective nonpeptide antagonist of neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor. Nolpitantium potently, selectively and competitively inhibited substance P binding to NK1 receptors from various animal species, including humans. In vitro, it was a potent antagonist in functional assays for NK1 receptors such as [Sar9, Met(O2)11]substance P-induced endothelium-dependent relaxation of rabbit pulmonary artery and contraction of guinea-pig ileum. Up to 1 mkM, Nolpitantium had no effect in bioassays for NK2 and NK3 receptors. The antagonism exerted by Nolpitantium toward NK1 receptors was apparently non-competitive, with pD2' values between 9.65 and 10.16 in the different assays. Nolpitantium also blocked in vitro [Sar9, Met(O2)11]substance P-induced release of acetylcholine from rat striatum. In vivo, Nolpitantium exerted highly potent antagonism toward [Sar9, Met(O2)11]substance P-induced hypotension in dogs, bronchoconstriction in guinea-pig) and plasma extrava......
Acetylaszonalenin is a fungal metabolite that has been found in A. flavipes.1 It acts as an antagonist of neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptors, inhibiting binding of substance P with a Ki value of 170 μM.
WIN 66306 is a cyclic heptapeptide antagonist of neurokinin-1 (NK1) and NK2 receptors originally isolated from A. flavipes. It binds to NK1 and NK2 receptors and inhibits contractions induced by substance P in isolated guinea pig ileum in a concentration-dependent manner.
