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.
INU-101 is an 11β-HSD1 inhibitor. In KKAy mice, ob/ob 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.
