Organometallic Ligands

<p>Fingolimod is a sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator that is used in the treatment of relapsing-remitting form of multiple sclerosis. This drug also has been involved in research to manage lung complications in patients with COVID-19. Fingolimod binds to a range of sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors. It reduces the inflammation associated with multiple sclerosis due to suppressing the exit of lymphocytes from lymph nodes.</p>

<p>Benazepril is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that can be used to treat hypertension, heart failure and renal failure. It is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that blocks the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. This inhibition prevents the vasoconstrictive effects of this peptide, which are mediated through activation of the renin-angiotensin system.</p>

<p>Natural neurotoxin</p>

<p>Inhibitor of leucine-rich repeat kinase LRRK2Â</p>

<p>t-TUCB is a potent soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibitor, which is a chemically synthesized compound. The mode of action of t-TUCB involves the inhibition of sEH, an enzyme responsible for the degradation of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs). By inhibiting sEH, t-TUCB effectively increases the levels of EETs, which are signaling molecules involved in numerous physiological processes, including inflammation, blood pressure regulation, and pain perception.</p>

<p>Sorafenib is a drug that belongs to the class of multikinase inhibitors. It inhibits a number of kinases, including the Mcl-1 protein, which is involved in apoptosis along with blocking picolinic acid (PA), an endogenous metabolite involved in apoptosis signal transduction. Sorafenib also binds to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) on the surface of cancer cells, inhibiting the production of proteins that are required for angiogenesis, thus blocking the formation of new blood vessels. Sorafenib may also inhibit P-glycoprotein (Pgp) activity. Overall, these cytotoxic effects give Sorafenib anti-tumor properties, inhibiting angiogenesis and cellular transformation, which are the two main processes of tumor growth and metastasis. Sorafenib tosylate has been shown to be effective against a range of solid tumors such as breast, prostate and lung cancers and is also used for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer and renal cell carcinoma. A combination therapy group found that sorafenib was more effective when used with interferon alfa-2b for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma. Sorafenib also has the potential for drug interactions with other drugs that are metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes.</p>

<p>Inhibits RNAPII-mediated trasncription; immunosuppressant; anti-inflammatory</p>

<p>mGluR5 antagonist</p>

<p>Agonist of hypothalamic neuropeptide LHRH</p>

<p>Mianserin is a tetracyclic antidepressant drug that has antihistaminic and hypnosedative properties. It is used to treat depression in adults and children, as well as other disorders such as chronic pain and irritable bowel syndrome. This drug’s mechanism of action is not fully understood but is said to block alpha-adrenergic, histamine H1 and serotonin receptors.</p>

<p>3-(2-(Benzyloxy)ethoxy)propan-1-ol is a specialized chemical compound often utilized as an intermediate in organic synthesis, which serves as a solvent or stabilizer for various chemical reactions. This compound originates from the etherification of benzyl alcohol, contributing to its unique properties as a flexible linker in synthetic processes.</p>

<p>Naftopidil is an alpha adrenergic antagonist drug that is used to treat urinary symptoms and conditions related to benign prostatic hypertrophy. This drug works to relax smooth muscles by inhibiting alpha adrenergic receptors, thus allowing an improvement in urine flow.</p>

<p>A potent inhibitor of EGFR with sensitizing and T790M resistance mutations, selective over the wild-type form of the receptor. Causes tumour regression in EGFR mutant T790M transgenic and xenograft models in vivo.</p>

<p>Prostanoid receptor agonist</p>

<p>Serotonin (5-HT7) receptor antagonist; anti-psychotic</p>

<p>Smoothened agonist and activator of the Hedgehog signalling pathway with EC50 of 3 nM. SAG binds to the Smoothened heptahelical bundle and antagonises effects of the Smoothened antagonist cyclopamine. In previous studies, SAG activated neurogenesis and neuronal survival in cell and animal models as well as improved cell differentiation of human induced pluripotent cells into the neuronal lineage.</p>

<p>Vanilloid receptor 1 antagonist</p>

<p>Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor; therapy for Alzheimer's disease</p>

<p>Inhibitor of p38 kinase</p>

<p>Antagonist of Wnt signalling pathway by inhibiting the activity of Porcn, a member of the membrane-bound O-acyltransferase (MBOAT) family. Porcn is required for the palmitoylation of Wnt, mediating its secretion and signalling. Inhibits self-renewal in embryonic stem cells, whilst promoting differentiation to epiblast stem cells.</p>
