SNAP-7941 is a selective antagonist of the melanin concentrating hormone receptor MCH1 with promising anxiolytic, antidepressant and anorectic effects in initial animal studies.
This amino acids187 to 203 fragment is derived from the C-terminal helix of synaptosomal-associated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25). This peptide is able to rescue exocytosis from botulinum neurotoxin E (BoNT E)-treated cells, albeit at higher concentrations
N-Acetyl-DL-penicillamine is a chelating agent.1,2,3It inhibits the binding of methyl mercury to isolated human erythrocytes by 50% and removes 50% of methyl mercury ions from methyl mercury-loaded blood cells when used at a concentration of 1 mM.1,2N-Acetyl-DL-penicillamine (3 mmol kg per day, p.o.) reduces the biological half-life of mercury and decreases liver, kidney, brain, and blood mercury levels, as well as increases urinary excretion of mercury in a concentration-dependent manner, in mice when administered following injection of methyl mercuric chloride. It decreases mercuric chloride-induced mortality in mice when administered orally at a dose of 1.6 mmol kg.3N-Acetyl-DL-penicillamine is also an analog of SNAP that does not generate nitric oxide and has been used as a negative control in experiments using SNAP.4,5
BGN3 is a good substrate for the SNAP- tag and H 5 enzymes. The activities of SNAP- tag and H 5 enzymes on BGN3 are reasonable (IC 50 = 15.6 and 23.5 μM, respectively).
HaXS8 is a dimerizer that facilitates the covalent and irreversible intracellular dimerization of proteins of interest labeled with HaloTag and SNAP-tag. Furthermore, HaXS8 does not exhibit any interference with PI3K mTOR signaling.
