DHP-218 is a calcium channel antagonist. DHP-218 inhibits Calcium-induced contraction of the rat aorta in high K+ solution with the pA2 value of 9.11. The IC50 value for the inhibitory effects of DHP-218 in high K+-induced and phenylephrine-induced contra
S-Nitrosothiols (RSNOs) are a class of molecules that function as exogenous and endogenous nitric oxide (NO) donors. RSNOs found in vivo include proteins such as S-nitrosohemoglobin and S-nitrosoalbumin, as well as low molecular weight species such as S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) and S-nitrosocysteine (CysNO). CAY10563 is a member of a new class of S-nitrosothiol species that act as an NO donors under acidic conditions. It decomposes with a half-life of one minute in 0.1 M phosphate buffer, pH 5.0, at 37°C and relaxes phenylephrine-constricted rat aortic strips 59% and 16% at pH 6.0 and 7.4, respectively.

CAY10565 is a member of a new class of S-nitrosothiol species that act as NO donors under acidic conditions. It decomposes with a half-life of 130 minutes in 0.1 M phosphate buffer, pH 5.0, at 37°C and relaxes phenylephrine-constricted rat aortic strips 71% and 44% at pH 6.0 and 7.4, respectively.
5(6)-EET is a fully racemic version of the enantiomeric forms biosynthesized from arachidonic acid by cytochrome P450 enzymes. In solution, 5(6)-EET degrades into 5,6-DiHET and 5(6)-δ-lactone, which can be converted to 5(6)-DiHET and quantified by GC-MS. In neuroendocrine cells, such as the anterior pituitary and pancreatic islets, 5(6)-EET has been implicated in the mobilization of calcium and hormone secretion. 5(6)-EET is an inhibitor of T-type voltage-gated calcium channels (Cav3) that inhibits isoforms Cav3.1, Cav3.2 (IC50 = 0.54 μM), and Cav3.3 and decreases nifedipine-resistant phenylephrine-induced vasoconstriction in isolated mouse mesenteric arteries via Cav3.2 blockade when used at a concentration of 3 μM. In addition, it is a substrate of COX-1 and COX-2, as measured by oxygen consumption and product formation assays when used at a concentration of 50 μM. (±)5(6)-EET is provided as a mixture of the free acid and lactone.
Sandaracopimaric acid is an anti-inflammatory diterpenoid compound that effectively reduces the contraction of phenylephrine-induced pulmonary arteries. With an EC50 of 43.93 μM, it exhibits noteworthy anti-inflammatory properties.
