ExcisaninA may be a potent inhibitor of AKT signaling pathway in tumor cells, it can inhibit invasion by suppressing MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression, it may be a potential anti-metastatic chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of breast cancer. Excisanin A shows comparable inhibitory effects on the LPS-induced production of NO and PGE2, and activation of NF-kappaB without affecting cell viability.Excisanin A induces apoptosis in colon cancer cell line SW620 as determined by Annexin V staining, the cleavage of caspase-3 and the proteolytic degradation of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP).
Aganepag, a potent Prostanoid EP2 receptor agonist, exhibits remarkable selectivity with an EC50 of 0.19 nM, demonstrating no activity at the EP4 receptor. Its applications are primarily in the fields of wound healing, scar reduction, scar prevention, and the treatment and prevention of wrinkles.
L-902688 is an orally active EP4 receptor agonist (Ki: 0.38 nM; EC50: 0.6 nM). L-902688 displays >4,000-fold selective for EP4 over other EP and prostanoid receptors.
