Organometallic Ligands

<p>Inhibitor of ERK1 and ERK2 kinases</p>

<p>Potent and selective inhibitor of the glycogen synthase kinase GSK-3. Promotes cell renewal in embryonic stem cells by modulating Notch, MAPK and TGF-β signalling pathways, which are involved in pluripotency. It also affects the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and alters expression of genes coding for proteins, epigenetic regulatory elements and non-coding RNAs. The combination of CHIR 99021 and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) allows long-term self-renewal in adult mouse retinal progenitor cells.</p>

<p>5-HT1A serotonin receptor agonist; alleviates symptoms of depression</p>

<p>Camostat is a serine protease inhibitor that is used for the treatment of chronic pancreatitis. This drug has shown to reduce inflammation and pain. Studies have shown that Camostat has also inhibited the entry of SARS-CoV-2 in lung cells by inhibiting the priming process of S-protein, necessary for the viral entry into host cells.</p>

<p>Inhibits type III tyrosine kinases (PDGFRα, PDGFRβ, FLT3)</p>

<p>Retinoic acid receptor alpha agonist; antineoplastic</p>

<p>Ramelteon is a synthetic drug, which is a melatonin receptor agonist with high affinity for MT1 and MT2 receptors. These receptors are primarily located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the brain, an area responsible for regulating circadian rhythms. By binding to these receptors, Ramelteon mimics the effects of the endogenous hormone melatonin, promoting the onset of sleep.</p>

<p>Rivastigmine is a cholinergic agent that is used in the treatment of dementia in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. This drug is a carbamate derivative that binds to and inactivates cholinesterase such as acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase. This leads to an increase concentration of acetylcholine at cholinergic synapse.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>Long-acting β2-agonist; bronchodilator</p>

<p>Acecelofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that is used in the treatment of osteoarthritis, arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. This drug is also a cyclooxygenase inhibitor and works by inhibiting this enzyme so that pain and inflammation is reduced.</p>

<p>Imiquimod maleate is an immune response modifier, which is a synthetic compound sourced from chemical synthesis. Its mode of action involves the activation of the immune system through the stimulation of toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7), leading to the induction of various cytokines, such as interferon-alpha, that initiate an antiviral and anti-tumor response.</p>

<p>γ-secretase inhibitor; reduces amyloid-β in brainÂ</p>

<p>An irreversible GSK-3β inhibitor that reduces phosphorylation of tau proteins, protects from neuronal loss and has cognitive and behavioural benefits in murine models. Studied for its potential as a therapeutic agent in Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. Tideglusib was also shown to inhibit the main protease Mpro from the SARS-CoV-2 virus with IC50 of 1.55 μM.</p>

<p>Competitive antagonist of ionotropic glutamate receptors of AMPA and kainate subfamilies. Reported anti-convulsant activity in seizures models induced by electrostimulation, drugs or genetic predisposition. Pro-convulsant effects in Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus-induced (TMEV) seizure model.</p>

<p>Ractopamine hydrochloride is a beta-agonist that stimulates the release of fatty acids from adipose tissue, increasing food intake and weight gain in pigs. It has been shown to have significant interactions with other drugs used for bowel disease, as well as with sodium carbonate, which can be used for control analysis. Ractopamine hydrochloride is an effective drug to stimulate the release of estradiol benzoate in rats during pregnancy. The matrix effect observed when analyzing samples containing ractopamine hydrochloride may be due to its ability to bind to serum proteins or lipids. This drug has been shown to have molecular docking properties that are similar to those found in other molecules.</p>

<p>S1RA hydrochloride is a selective antagonist targeting the sigma-1 receptor, which is a type of small molecule ligand. It is synthesized chemically, enabling precise modulation of its properties for experimental use. S1RA functions by selectively inhibiting the sigma-1 receptor, a chaperone protein involved in modulating ion channels and other receptors within the endoplasmic reticulum. This modulation plays a critical role in various cellular processes, including calcium signaling and cellular stress responses.</p>

<p>Used to treat multiple sclerosis; anti-inflammatory</p>

<p>Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor drug that is used to treat erosive esophagitis and promotes healing of tissue damage caused by gastric acid. It is used for the management of GERD. Through the proton pump inhibition, the formation of hydrochloric acid is inhibited thus inhibiting gastric secretion.</p>

<p>Temozolomide is an imidazotetrazine alkylating agent. It has anti-tumor activity against a broad spectrum of tumors, such as leukemias, lymphomas and solid tumors. Temozolomide induces G2/M arrest, preventing cells from entering mitosis and, therefore, apoptosis. As a drug resistance-modifying agent it is used for studying drug resistance mechanisms in glioblastoma cell lines.</p>
