SR-31747 blocks cell proliferation by inhibiting sterol isomerase. SR-31747 is a sigmaligand. It has immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory properties.
PD 144418 displays potential antipsychotic activity. PD 144418 is a high affinity, potent and selective sigma 1 (σ1) receptor ligand (Ki: 0.08 nM and 1377 nM for σ1 and σ2 respectively). It shows devoid of any significant affinity for other receptors, ion channels, and enzymes.
Selective sigma (σ) receptor ligand. Displays high affinity for σ1; also binds at σ2 sites (Ki = 1.5 nM and 50.8 nM respectively). Selective over a range of receptor types including dopaminergic and muscarinic receptors, DAT and SERT. Prezzavento et al (2007) Novel sigma receptor ligands: synthesis and biological profile.
