MitoEbselen-2 is a radiation mitigator which reduces lipid hydroperoxides and prevents apoptotic cell death. When administered 24 hours postirradiation, MitoEbselen-2 was shown to increase the survival of mice exposed to whole body γ-irradiation.
BioA-IN-13 is a highly effective inhibitor of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis BioA enzyme, displaying potent cell permeability and whole-cell activity [1].
Ru360, an oxygen-bridged dinuclear ruthenium amine complex, is a selective mitochondrial calcium uptake inhibitor. Ru360 potently inhibits Ca2+ uptake into mitochondria with an IC50 of 0.184 nM. Ru360 binds to mitochondria with high affinity (Kd of 0.34 nM). Ru360 has antiarrhythmic and cardioprotective effects[1][2]. Ru360 permeates slowly into the cell, and specifically inhibits mitochondrial calcium uptake in intact cardiomyocytes and in isolated heart. 1 μm Ru360 is taken up by myocardial cells and accumulated in the cytosol in a biphasic manner[1]. During pelleting hypoxia, Ru360 (10 µM) significantly improves cell viability in wild type cardiomyocytes[3]. Ru360 (15-50 nmol/kg) treatment abolishes the incidence of arrhythmias and haemodynamic dysfunction elicited by reperfusion in a whole rat model. Ru360 administration partially inhibits calcium uptake, preventing mitochondria from depolarization by the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP)[1]. [1].

Dihydroisopimaric acid activates BK channels alphabeta1, which are large conductance Ca 2+ activated K + channels. This compound directly measures the opening of BKalphabeta1 under a whole-cell voltage clamp.
A 78773 is a potent, selective, direct, and reversible 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor. It has activity in a variety of purified cells and in more complex biological systems such as whole blood, lung fragments, and tracheal tissues. A 78773 acts against inflamma
Tpl2 kinase inhibitor is an inhibitor of tumor progression locus 2 (Tpl2; IC50= 0.05 μM).1It is selective for Tpl2 over MEK, p38 MAPK, Src, MK2, and PKC (IC50s = >40, 180, >400, 110, and >400 μM, respectively). Tpl2 kinase inhibitor inhibits LPS-induced TNF-α production in isolated human monocytes and whole blood (IC50s = 0.7 and 8.5 μM, respectively). It enhances differentiation induced by calcitriol in HL-60 and U937 leukemia cells when used at a concentration of 5 μM.2Tpl2 kinase inhibitor (5 μM) inhibits the proliferation of KG-1a leukemia cells.3 1.Garvin, L.K., Green, N., Hu, Y., et al.Inhibition of Tpl2 kinase and TNF-α production with 1,7-naphthyridine-3-carbonitriles: Synthesis and structure-activity relationshipsBioor.
