AZD-4573 is a selective and short-acting inhibitor of the serine/threonine cyclin-dependent kinase 9, the catalytic subunit of the RNA polymerase II elongation factor positive transcription elongation factor b. It also has a potential antineoplastic activ
ILS-920 is a Rapamycin analog characterized by diminished immunosuppressive effects but remarkable neuroprotective properties. It exhibits selective binding affinity towards the immunophilin FKBP52 as well as the β1-subunit of L-type voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC). ILS-920 displays a notable 200-fold preference for FKBP52 over FKBP12.
Helenalin is a selective inhibitor of transcription factor NF-κB by direct targeting of p65. It is an anti-inflammatory sesquiterpene lactone compound with alkylating activity. Through its ability to target the cysteine sulfhydryl groups in the p65 subunit of NF-κB, helenalin effectively inhibits its DNA binding.
NFPS exerts neuroprotection via glyR alpha1 subunit in the rat model of transient focal cerebral ischaemia and reperfusion. NFPS is a selective and non-competitive glycine transporter-1 (GlyT1) inhibitor (IC50s: 2.8 nM and 9.8 nM for hGlyT1 and rGlyT1, respectively).
UBP 302 is an effective and selective GLUK5-subunit-containing kainate receptor antagonist (apparent Kd=402 nM) and displays very little affinity on GluK2 kainate receptors.
