Thiophene-2 (TP2) is a targeted inhibitor of polyketide synthase 13 (Pks13), specifically designed to disrupt mycolic acid biosynthesis. By doing so, it effectively induces rapid cell death in mycobacteria. Thiophene-2 demonstrates notable anti-tuberculosis activity and exhibits a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 1 μM against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
TP-238 hydrochloride is a highly potent and selective dual CECR2 BPTF probe, demonstrating IC50 values of 30 nM and 350 nM, respectively. It additionally exerts inhibitory effects on BRD9, with a pIC50 value of 5.9, while displaying lower activity against 338 other kinases.
ITP-2 is a selective activator of hERG channels. ITP-2 causes large depolarizing shifts in the midpoint of voltage-dependent inactivation and hyperpolarizing shifts in the voltage-dependence of activation.
