Candesartan is a drug that belongs to the class of angiotensin II receptor antagonists and is used to treat hypertension. It is used in combination therapy with other drugs, such as hydrochlorothiazide and amlodipine, to lower blood pressure. Candesartan inhibits the formation of angiotensin II, the receptor which causes vasoconstriction and increased blood pressure.

Fexofenadine is a selective histamine-1 receptor antagonist that is used to treat the symptoms of seasonal allergies. It does not cross the blood-brain barrier and carries little-to-no activity at off targets. This drug binds to the inactive form of the H1 receptor and inhibits its activation and downstream effects.

Potent agonist of a1β1γ1 5′-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK). It binds to the allosteric drug and metabolite (ADaM) site at the α- and β- subunit interface of AMPK. It has potential for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. PF 06409577 reduces infections caused by flaviviruses, mediated by changes in the metabolism of lipids in host cells.

alpha-adrenoceptor agonist; nasal decongestant

BX471 hydrochloride is a selective antagonist of the C-C chemokine receptor type 1 (CCR1), which is synthesized through rigorous chemical processes. It operates by inhibiting the binding of chemokines to the CCR1 receptor, thus interfering with the signaling pathways that lead to inflammation and immune responses. This mechanism is specifically effective in modulating immune system functions and controlling pathophysiological responses in various tissue types.

Roflumilast is a selective phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor that is used for the treatment of exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is also used to treat plaque psoriasis. This drug has anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects as it aids in increasing levels of cAMP.

Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor agonist; antineoplastic, immunosppressant

A prodrug of VRT 043198 that inhibits IL-converting enzyme (ICE)/caspase-1.  Inhibits LPS-induced secretion of cytokines. It has therapeutic potential in autoinflammatory diseases. VX 765 is cardioprotective in addition to the P2Y12 receptor inhibitor congrelor, resulting in reduced myocardial infarction.

A reversible inhibitor of IGF-1R kinase and insulin receptor. Has anti-growth effects in mesenchymal, epithelial and hematopoietic tumor types. Synergistic with other cytotoxic, hormonal and targeted anti-cancer therapy.

A serotonin reuptake inhibitor with anticholinergic activity and mild inhibitory activity on noradrenaline reuptake. Paroxetine has been used for the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, premenstrual dysphoric disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.  Also inhibits nitric oxide synthase and cytochrome isoenzyme P450 2D6.

Inhibitor of HIF1-α transcription factor and repressor of HIF1-α-regulated genes in adult and embryonic stem cell models as well as in tumoral cell lines. FM19G11 inhibits the expression of undifferentiating factors Oct4, Sox2, Nanog, and Tgf-α at transcriptional and protein level. FM 19G11 affects also epigenetic events by reducing histone acetylation and leading to repression of p300, a HIF-transcription activation co-factor.

LOXO-305 is a small molecule inhibitor, which is a synthesized chemical compound designed to selectively target specific enzymes or pathways. Its source is rooted in medicinal chemistry and pharmacological research aimed at elucidating pathways involved in oncogenesis.

Bruton's tyrosine kinase antagonist; reduces Fcγ receptor signaling

Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor drug that is used to treat symptoms of GERD, heal gastrointestinal ulcers and eradicate Helicobacter pylori. This antiulcer drug suppresses gastric acid by inhibiting the gastric H+/K+ ATPase at the parietal cell.

mGluR5 antagonist

Interleukin-13 human is a recombinant cytokine, which is derived from the expression of the human IL-13 gene in suitable host systems, such as E. coli or mammalian cells. This cytokine belongs to the interleukin family and plays a pivotal role in the immune response by modulating inflammatory pathways. The mode of action of interleukin-13 involves binding to specific cell surface receptors, IL-13Rα1 and IL-13Rα2, which facilitates the activation of various intracellular signaling cascades, including the JAK/STAT pathway. This promotes the differentiation and proliferation of certain immune cells, influencing the production of IgE and contributing to the regulation of inflammatory responses.

ÎŽ opioid receptor agonist; anti-nociceptive; anti-depressant

Anastrozole is a non-steroidal drug that belongs to the class of aromatase inhibitors. It inhibits the production of estrogen by blocking the conversion of androgens to estrogens in peripheral tissues. The drug has been shown to be effective in treating breast cancer in postmenopausal women. In vitro assays have shown that Anastrozole can inhibit tumor growth as well as induce apoptosis in human serum cells, which suggests that it may be effective against a variety of cancers.

5-HT1A serotonin receptor agonist; alleviates symptoms of depression

γ-secretase inhibitor; reduces amyloid-β in brainÂ

SR 4835 is a synthetic compound, which is an advanced molecular entity derived from extensive medicinal chemistry efforts. This compound exhibits a novel mechanism of action, targeting specific cellular pathways implicated in disease processes. SR 4835 functions by modulating enzyme activity, thus influencing intracellular signaling cascades that play a critical role in pathophysiological conditions.

Histamine (H2) receptor antagonist

Androgen receptor antagonist; therapy for endometriosis

Levetiracetam is a modulates the activity of the synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) in the brain and is used to treat epilepsy.It is not clear exactly how Levetiracetam affects the activity of SV2A and if this is through inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters. However, it is thought to work by binding to a specific site on SV2A, which interferes with its normal function and ultimately leads to changes in exocytosis. One of the postulated mechanisms of action is that this modulates glutamate release. Levetiracetam is used to treat certain types of seizures in people with epilepsy.
