SB 242084 hydrochloride is a 5-HT2C receptor antagonist(pKi=9.0) that displays 158- and 100-fold selectivity over 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B receptors respectively.IC50 value: 9.0(pKi) [1]Target: 5-HT2C antagonistin vitro: SB 242084 had over 100-fold selectivity over a range of other 5-HT, dopamine and adrenergic receptors. In studies of 5-HT-stimulated phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis using SH-SY5Y cells stably expressing the cloned human 5-HT2C receptor, SB 242084 acted as an antagonist with a pKb of 9.3, which closely resembled its corresponding receptor binding affinity [1].in vivo: SB 242084 potently inhibited m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP, 7 mgkg i.p. 20 min pre-test)-induced hypolocomotion in rats, a model of in vivo central 5-HT2C receptor function, with an ID50 of 0.11 mg kg i.p., and 2.0 mg kg p.o. SB 242084 (0.1-1 mg kg i.p.) exhibited an anxiolytic-like profile in the rat social interaction test, increasing time spent in social interaction, but having no effect on locomotion. SB 242084 (0.1-1 mg kg i.p.) also markedly increased punished responding in a rat Geller-Seifter conflict test of anxiety, but had no consistent effect on unpunished responding [1].
AVX 13616 shows the potent in vivo antibacterial activity of Avexa’s lead antibacterial candidate; particularly against drug-resistant Staphylococcus pathogens. IC50 value: 2-4 ug ml (MICs) Target: antibacterial agent AVX13616 was as active as mupirocin i
AZD7687 is a potent and selective DGAT1 inhibitor with an IC50 value of 80 nM (hDGAT1). IC50 value: 80 nM [1] Target: DGAT1 in vitro: Plasma AZD7687 exposure was measured repeatedly. AZD7687 markedly reduced postprandial TAG excursion with a steep concent
Phthalimide-PEG3-C2-OTs (Compound 5) is a PROTAC linker composed of PEGs. It is utilized in the synthesis of various PROTACs, which involve the connection of two distinct ligands through a linker. One ligand is specific for an E3 ubiquitin ligase, while the other ligand is designed for targeting the specific protein of interest. Through leveraging the intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system, PROTACs are capable of selectively degrading target proteins [1].
