[Sar9,Met(O2)11]-Substance P TFA is a selective tachykinin NK1 receptor agonist.[Sar9,Met(O2)11]-Substance P and septide (10-100 pmol per rat, i.c.v.) are equipotent in increasing mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR), yet they have dissi
Potent and selective inhibitor of the glial glycine transporter GlyT1b (IC50 = 6.9 nM). Displays negligible activity at GlyT-2, adrenoreceptors, dopamine, 5HT receptors and noradrenaline, dopamine, 5HT and GABA transporters (pIC50 in vivo.

BHBM is an acylhydrazone with antifungal activity.1,2 It is active against C. neoformans in vitro (MIC80 = 1 μg/ml).2 BHBM (0.25, 1, and 4 μg/ml) inhibits the synthesis of glucosylceramide, which is essential to fungal cell division, in C. neoformans but not J774 murine macrophages.1 In vivo, BHBM (1.2 mg/kg per day) increases survival in a mouse model of C. neoformans infection. |1.

The diazomethyl ketone Z-LVG-CHN2 mimics part of the human cysteine proteinase-binding center, has been shown to be an irreversible inhibitor of this proteinase. The compound was also tested for antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV) and found to block the HSV replication. Irreversible inhibitor of streptopain.
