GR 159897 is a competitive, brain-penetrated non-peptide NK2 receptor antagonist with anti-tumor effects. GR 159897 inhibits binding of [3H]GR100679 to human NK2-CHO cells and rat colon membranes (pKis: 9.51 and 10, respectively). It can antagonize bronch
GSK172981 is a non-peptide tachykinin NK3 receptor antagonist with a high affinity for the recombinant human (PK (I) value 7.7) and native guinea pig (PK (I) value 7.8) tachykinin NK3 receptor. In vitro, the functional evaluation showed that GSK172981 was
SN52 is a powerful, competitive, and cell-permeable inhibitor of NF-κB2. It is a variant of the SN50 peptide. SN52 effectively prevents the nuclear translocation of p52-RelB heterodimers, exhibiting a robust radiosensitization effect on prostate cancer cells. This compound holds significant potential for cancer research purposes.
HXR9 is a cell-permeable peptide that acts as a competitive antagonist of the HOX/PBX interaction. It effectively inhibits the binding between HOX proteins and the transcription factor PBX, specifically in paralogue groups 1 to 8. HXR9 selectively impairs cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in cells with a high expression of the HOXA/PBX3 genes, for instance, MLL-rearranged leukemic cells.
OK-1035 is a potent and selective DNA-PK inhibitor. When a synthetic peptide was used as a substrate, OK-1035 caused 50% inhibition of DNA-PK activity at 8 microM. OK-1035 inhibited the phosphorylation by DNA-PK of consensus peptide as well as that of recombinant human wild type-p53. Kinetic studies indicated that OK-1035 inhibited DNA-PK activity in an ATP-competitive manner.
NBI-42902 is a potent inhibitor of peptide radioligand binding to the human GnRH receptor (K(i) = 0.56 nm). Tritiated NBI-42902 binds with high affinity (K(d) = 0.19 nm) to a single class of binding sites and can be displaced by a range of peptide and nonpeptide GnRH receptor ligands. In vitro experiments demonstrate that NBI-42902 is a potent functional, competitive antagonist of GnRH stimulated IP accumulation, Ca(2+) flux, and ERK1/2 activation. It did not stimulate histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells. Finally, it is effective in lowering serum LH in castrated male macaques after oral administration. Overall, these data provide a benchmark of pharmacological characteristics required for a nonpeptide GnRH antagonist to effectively suppress gonadotropins in humans and suggest that NBI-42902 may have clinical utility as an oral agent for suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.

Y27632 HCl hydrate is an orally effective, ATP-competitive ROCK1/ROCK2 inhibitor (Ki=220 nM/300 nM) that inhibits caspase-3 and suppresses stem cell apoptosis induced by multiple conditions. It is suitable for studying induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) culture.
