Bimatoprost grenod(15-(6-nitroxyhexanoyl)-17-phenyl trinor PGF2α) is a nitric oxide-donating derivative of 17-phenyl trinor PGF2α.1It increases cGMP levels in rabbit aqueous humor and iris ciliary body when topically administered at a concentration of 0.042%. Topicaladministration of 15-(6-nitroxylhexanoyl)-17-phenyl trinor PGF2α(0.14%) reduces intraocular hypertension (IOP) in a rabbit model of hypertonic saline-induced transient ocular pressure. It also reduces IOP in a cynomolgus monkey model of laser-induced ocular hypertension when administered topically at a concentration of 0.042%.
Pal-KTTKS is a lipidated pentapeptide consisting of a fragment of the type I collagen C-terminal propeptide conjugated to palmitic acid .1 It increases collagen production in human corneal and dermal fibroblasts when used at concentrations of 0.002, 0.004, and 0.008 wt%.2 Following topicaladministration, pal-KTTKS (50 μg/cm2) is found in the stratum corneum, epidermis, and dermis of isolated hairless mouse skin.1 It can self-assemble into flat tapes and extended fibrillar structures.3 Pal-KTTKS has been detected in anti-wrinkle creams.4 |1.

L-AP4 (L-APB) monohydrate is a potent and specific agonist for the group III mGluRs, with EC50s of 0.13, 0.29, 1.0, 249 μM for mGlu4, mGlu8, mGlu6 and mGlu7 receptors, respectively[1][2]. L-AP4 (5-30 μg, intrathecal inhection 4-5 days) significantly increases the paw withdrawal threshold in response to application of von Frey filaments in eight nerve-ligated rats in a dose-dependent manner. Intrathecal administration of different doses of L-AP4 is not associated with any evident motor dysfunction[2].Intrathecal injection of 30 μg of L-AP4 does not significantly alter the paw withdrawal latency in these normal rats[2].Topical application of 5 to 50 μM L-AP4 to the spinal cord significantly inhibited the evoked response of neurons to touch, pressure, pinch, and von Frey filaments in a concentration-dependent fashion[2].

Cytosolic phospholipase A2α (cPLA2α) specifically catalyzes the hydrolysis of arachidonic acid from thesn-2-ester position of membrane phospholipids, playing a central role in initiating the synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes, both important mediators of the inflammatory process.1CAY10641 is an inactive alcohol derivative of a highly potent (IC50= 12 nM) cPLA2α inhibitor.2The parent compound demonstrates strong anti-inflammatory effects when applied topically at a dose of 0.1 mg ear in a mouse model of acute irritant contact dermatitis.2CAY10641 is rapidly cleared from the blood stream (only 0.5 μg ml remains 30 minutes after 10 mg kg intravenous administration to mice).2However, no other biological effects have been reported. 1.Schaloske, R.H., and Dennis, E.A.The phospholipase A2 superfamily and its group numbering systemBiochemica et Biophysica Acta17611246-1259(2006) 2.Drews, A., Bovens, S., Roebrock, K., et al.1-(5-carboxyindol-1-yl)propan-2-one inhibitors of human cytosolic phospholipase A2α with reduced lipophilicity: Synthesis, biological activity, metabolic stability, solubility, bioavailability, and topical in vivo activityJournal of Medicinal Chemistry535165-5178(2010)
GM 1489 is a broad-spectrum inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) with Ki values of 0.002, 0.1, 0.5, 0.2, and 20 μM for MMP-1, MMP-8, MMP-2, MMP-9, and MMP-3, respectively. It reduces 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine-induced increases in MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-9, and MMP-14 expression as well as cell invasion in AsPC-1, BxPC-3, Hs766T, MiaPaCa2, and PANC-1 cancer cells. Topicaladministration of GM 1489 (100 μg) inhibits increases in ear thickness and epidermal hyperplasia induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and phorbol dibutyrate (PdiBu) in mice.
LEO 39652 is a dual-soft PDE4 inhibitor with IC50s of 1.2 nM, 1.2 nM, 3.0 nM and 3.8 nM for PDE4A, PDE4B, PDE4C and PDE4D, respectively. LEO 39652 also inhibits TNF-α with an IC50 value of 6.0 nM.

Clobetasol propionate-d5 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of clobetasol propionate by GC- or LC-MS. Clobetasol propionate is a corticosteroid. It binds to glucocorticoid receptors in a cell-free assay and inhibits proliferation of primary human skin fibroblasts when used at a concentration of 5 µg ml. Topicaladministration of clobetasol propionate reduces croton oil-induced ear edema in mice. Formulations containing clobetasol propionate have been used in the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions.
LX7101 is a potent inhibitor of both LIM kinase (LIMK) 1 and 2, and Rho-associated kinase 1 (ROCK1) and ROCK2, with IC50 values of 32, 4.3, 69, and 32 nM, respectively. It is selective, demonstrated by its lack of cross-reactivity in a panel of binding assays involving 78 receptors, transporters, and an additional 430 kinases, at a concentration of 10 μM. The topicaladministration of LX7101 (3 μl of a 1 mg ml solution) to the eye has been shown to reduce intraocular pressure in a dexamethasone-induced mouse model of glaucoma.
Patulitrin has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and larvicidal activities, oral and topicaladministration of patuletin and patulitrin inhibited acute inflammation in mice.
Variabilin, a novel inhibitor of human platelet aggregation, it is a potent RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp)-containing antagonist of the fibrinogen receptor glycoprotein IIb-IIIa (GPIIb-IIIa; αIIbβ3) and the vitronectin receptor αvβ3.Variabilin is also an antimicrobial furanosesterterpene. Variabilin is an inhibitor of human secretory and cytosolic phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activities that controls eicosanoid production in vitro and in vivo, inhibits neutrophil degranulation and superoxide generation in vitro and shows anti-inflammatory activity after topical or p.o. administration to mice.
