Nampt activator-4, a positive allosteric modulator (N-PAM) of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), has an EC50 of 0.058 μM and can enhance nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) levels in cells [1].
PROTAC MDM2 Degrader-4 is a compound designed using PROTAC technology to degrade MDM2. It combines a powerful MDM2 inhibitor, a linker, and the MDM2 ligand for E3 ubiquitin ligase[1].
SCR-4026 is an inhibitor of the nNOS-PSD-95 interaction with neuroprotective activities. SCR-4026 also promotes neural stem cells to differentiate into neurons-like cells.
WRR-483, an analogue of K-11777, is a potent and selective cysteine protease inhibitor with trypanocidal activity in cell culture and animal model with comparable efficacy to K11777. WRR-483 demonstrates good potency against cruzain with sensitivity to pH conditions and high efficacy in the cell culture assay. Furthermore, WRR-483 also eradicates parasite infection in a mouse model of acute Chagas' disease. WRR-483 binds covalently to the active site cysteine of the protease in a similar manner as other vinyl sulfone-based inhibitors. WRR-483 has potential to be developed as a treatment for Chagas' disease.
