Zonisamide-13C2,15N is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of zonisamide by GC- or LC-MS. Zonisamide is an antiepileptic agent.1 It selectively inhibits the repeated firing of sodium channels (IC50 = 2 μg ml) in mouse embryo spinal cord neurons and inhibits spontaneous channel firing when used at concentrations greater than 10 μg ml.2 In rat cerebral cortex neurons, zonisamide (1-1,000 μM) inhibits T-type calcium channels with a maximum reduction of 60% of the calcium current.3 Zonisamide inhibits H. pylori recombinant carbonic anhydrase (CA) and the human CA isoforms I, II, and V with Ki values of 218, 56, 35, and 21 nM, respectively.4,5 In mice, it has anticonvulsant activity against maximal electroshock seizure (MES) and pentylenetetrazole-induced maximal, but not minimal, seizures (ED50s = 19.6, 9.3, and >500 mg kg, respectively). Zonisamide (40 mg kg, p.o.) prevents MPTP-induced decreases in the levels of dopamine , but not homovanillic acid or dihydroxyphenyl acetic acid , and increases MPTP-induced decreases in the dopamine turnover rate in mouse striatum in a model of Parkinson's disease.6 Formulations containing zonisamide have been used in the treatment of partial seizures in adults with epilepsy. |1.

HSD1590 is a highly effective and potent inhibitor of ROCK1 and ROCK2, with IC50 values of 1.22 nM and 0.51 nM, respectively. It demonstrates exceptional binding affinity to ROCK, with Kd values below 2 nM. Moreover, HSD1590 showcases minimal cytotoxicity, making it an ideal compound for various applications.
Fasudil dihydrochloride, also known as HA-1077 and AT877, is a nonspecific inhibitor of RhoA ROCK. It exhibits inhibitory effects on protein kinases, including ROCK1 with a Ki value of 0.33 μM, as well as ROCK2, PKA, PKC, and PKG with IC 50 values of 0.158 μM, 4.58 μM, 12.30 μM, and 1.650 μM, respectively. Additionally, Fasudil dihydrochloride demonstrates potent Ca 2+ channel blocking activity and acts as a vasodilator [1] [2] [3].
Rho-Kinase-IN-2 (Compound 23) is an orally active and selective inhibitor of Rho Kinase (ROCK), which can penetrate the central nervous system (CNS). It exhibits a high affinity for ROCK2 with an inhibition constant (IC50) of 3 nM. This compound is of potential interest for further investigations in the field of Huntington's disease research [1].
