Talabostat (PT100, Val-boroPro) is a potent, nonselective and orally available dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitor with a Ki of 0.18 nM. Talabostat is a nonselective DPP-IV inhibitor, inhibiting DPP8 9, FAP, DPP2 and some other DASH family enzymes essentially as potently as it inhibits DPP-IV[1]. Talabostat stimulates the immune system by triggering a proinflammatory form of cell death in monocytes and macrophages known as pyroptosis. The inhibition of two serine proteases, DPP8 and DPP9, activates the proprotein form of caspase-1 independent of the inflammasome adaptor ASC[2]. Talabostat competitively inhibits the dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP) activity of FAP and CD26 DPP-IV, and there is a high-affinity interaction with the catalytic site due to the formation of a complex between Ser630 624 and the boron of talabostat[3]. Talabostat can stimulate immune responses against tumors involving both the innate and adaptive branches of the immune system. In WEHI 164 fibrosarcoma and EL4 and A20 2J lymphoma models, PT-100 causes regression and rejection of tumors. The antitumor effect appears to involve tumor-specific CTL and protective immunological memory. Talabostat treatment of WEHI 164-inoculated mice increases mRNA expression of cytokines and chemokines known to promote T-cell priming and chemoattraction of T cells and innate effector cells[3]. Talabostat treated mice show significant less fibrosis and FAP expression is reduced. Upon PT100 treatment, significant differences in the MMP-12, MIP-1α, and MCP-3 mRNA expression levels in the lungs are also observed. Treatment with PT100 in this murine model of pulmonary fibrosis has an anti-fibro-proliferative effect and increases macrophage activation[4]. [1]. Connolly BA, et al.

Maleimido-tri(ethylene glycol)-propionic acid is a cleavable ADC linker used in the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Maleimido-tri(ethylene glycol)-propionic acid is used for the preparation of neolymphostin-based ADC precursors for site-spec
(2-Pyridyldithio)-PEG4 acid is a four-unit cleavable polyethylene glycol (PEG) linker specifically designed for the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs)[1]. It serves as a crucial component in the conjugation of antibodies and drugs, enabling targeted drug delivery and enhanced therapeutic efficacy. This linker possesses a (2-pyridyldithio) group at one end, facilitating the attachment of the linker to the specificsite on the antibody molecule. The PEG4 chain provides the necessary flexibility and biocompatibility for optimal drug release while maintaining stability throughout the circulation in the body. Ultimately, (2-Pyridyldithio)-PEG4 acid is instrumental in the development and advancement of ADCs, a promising approach in cancer therapy.
A-20832 inhibits resolvase-promoted site-specific recombination postsynaptically at strand cleavage. It does not inhibit resolvase binding to res, as measured by filter binding, or synapse formation. DNase I analysis in the presence of A-20832 indicates t
1-Amino-1-deoxy-D-fructose is an amino monosaccharide.1It induces site-specific DNA damage at pyrimidine residues in cell-free assays. 1-Amino-1-deoxy-D-fructose moieties have been found as a component of fructosamines, glycated serum proteins that are elevated in patients with conditions such as diabetes.2,3
Sp-8-CPT-cAMPS is a powerful and specific cAMP analog that activates cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA I and PKA II) selectively and effectively. It exhibits a 153-fold preference for site A of RI over site A of RII, and a 59-fold preference for site B of RII over site B of RI.
Rp-8-CPT-cAMPS is a powerful and competitive antagonist of cAMP-induced activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) I and II. Acting as a potent cAMP analog, Rp-8-CPT-cAMPS exhibits a preference for site A of RI over site A of RII. Additionally, it favors site B of RII over site B of RI. This compound effectively inhibits cAMP-dependent PKA activation and demonstrates selectivity in binding to specificsites within the protein kinase.
