OB 24 hydrochloride is a potent and selective heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) inhibitor (IC50 values are 1.9 and >100 μM for HO-1 and HO-2 respectively), reduces protein carbonylation and reactive oxygen species formation in advanced prostate cancer cells (PCA). Inhibits cell proliferationin vitroand PCA tumor growth and lymph node/lung metastasesin vivo. Synergizes with Taxol.
OB-2 is an inhibitor of stomatin-like protein-3 (STOML3) oligomerization. OB-2 reversibly reduces the sensitivity of mechanically gated currents in sensory neurons and silence mechanoreceptors in vivo.
PF-5006739 is an effective and selective inhibitor of CK1δ ε (IC50s: 3.9 nM and 17.0 nM, respectively). PF-5006739 is a potential therapeutic agent for a range of psychiatric disorders with low nanomolar in vitro potency for CK1δ ε and high kinome selecti
BR103354 is a novel fibroblast activation protein (FAP) inhibitor with anti-diabetic and anti-steatotic effects. BR103354 inhibited FAP with an IC50 value of 14 nM, showing high selectivity against dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-related enzymes and prolyl oligopeptidase (PREP). BR103354 exhibited good pharmacokinetic properties as evidenced by oral bioavailability of 48.4% and minimal hERG inhibition. Single co-administration of BR103354 with hFGF21 reduced nonfasting blood glucose concentrations, in association with increased intact form of hFGF21 in obob mice. BR103354 acts as an effective FAP inhibitor in vitro and in vivo, thereby demonstrating its potential application as an anti-diabetic and anti-NASH agent.
INU-101 is an 11β-HSD1 inhibitor. In KKAy mice, obob mice, and ZDF rats, oral administration of INU-101 led to enhanced insulin sensitivity and the lowering of the fasting level of glucose in the blood. INU-101 therefore shows promise as a potential treatment for type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
4-Aaqb, also known as OB-318, is a natural inhibitor of the autophagy pathway, enhancing immune function, suppressing MAPK and NFκB, showing anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, vasorelaxative, and antiproliferative activities.
GIP receptor antagonist (IC50 = 2.6μM). Inhibits GIP-stimulated insulin release from pancreatic β cells in vitro. In ob/ob mice, blocks the effects of GIP on insulin release and plasma glucose levels. Also improves intraperitoneal glucose tolerance, insul
