Organometallic Ligands

Neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptor antagonist

Indomethacin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that inhibits the production of prostaglandin PGE2. It is used to treat pain, fever, and inflammation. Indomethacin's mechanism of action is not well understood, but it may be due to interference with the ability of PMNs to bind to the surface of bacteria or to release reactive oxygen species. The drug has been shown to reduce mitochondrial membrane potential in mammalian cells, leading to apoptosis. This effect on mitochondria may also contribute to Indomethacin's anti-inflammatory effects. Indomethacin is part of our Bio-X ™ Range. These products are aimed at life science researchers who need high quality ready-to-use products for assay development, screening or other R&D work. With a solubility datasheet and convenient vials, all of our Bio-X ™ products are in stock across our global warehouses for rapid delivery and ease of use.

Inhibits the mitochondrial outer mebrane protein mitoNEET, anti-leukaemic

Irsogladine is a gastroprotective drug that is used for the treatment of GERD and gastric ulcers. This drug also has antioxidant properties. Irsogladine is a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor and increases levels of cAMP. It helps to prevent and heal damage to the stomach lining.

Androgen receptor antagonist

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.

Inhibits DNA topoisomerase II; antineoplastic; immunomodulatory; antimicrobial

A light-sensitive probe that functionally encapsulates L-glutamate in an inactive form. Irradiation with light at 360-380 nm cleaves the MNI protecting group and allows the release of free L-glutamate.  It allows tuneable control of the L-glutamate in neurons and precise control over time, dose and location of L-glutamate release.

Inhibitor of vacuolar-type proton pump

Loratadine is a non-sedating, inverse agonist antihistamine used for the treatment of allergic rhinitis, an IgE (immunoglobulin E) mediated disease. Loratadine binds to histamine H1 receptors, preventing histamine from binding and causing an allergic reaction.It has been found to inhibit the release of eosinophil cationic protein by acting on different components of allergic inflammation, in particular in the modulation of ICAM-1 expression on nasal epithelial cells as a mechanism of protective for the epithelium, and therefore, the damage of mucosa is reduced. In recent studies, it was found that loratadine is a potent HR1 antagonist with in vitro inhbitory effect on human mast-cell lines, HMC-1 (from mast cell leukaemia) with an IC50 between 10 and 50 μM.Loratadine is part of our Bio-X ™ Range. These products are aimed at life science researchers who need high quality ready to use products for assay development, screening or other R&D work. With a solubility datasheet and convenient vials, all of our Bio-X ™ products are in stock across our global warehouses for rapid delivery and ease of use.

Icilin is a transient receptor potential M8 (TRPM8) agonist drug that is used for the treatment of pruritis. This drug has shown to be effective in producing an extreme cold sensation in both human and animal models. It is used in research for studying TRP channels.

Fingolimod is a sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator that is used in the treatment of relapsing-remitting form of multiple sclerosis. It is also being studies to manage lung complications in patients with COVID-19. This drug binds to various sphingosine 1-phospahte receptors and suppresses the exit of lymphocytes from lymph nodes.

Nabumetone is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that is used in the treatment of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. This drug is also a cyclooxygenase inhibitor and works by inhibiting this enzyme so that pain and inflammation is reduced.

A selective inhibitor of MEK1/2 kinase. Anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic in multiple myeloma (MM) cells via G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and caspase 3 and PARP cleavage, respectively. Synergistic with other anti-MM therapies. Has anti-tumor effects in some solid tumors, such as in K-ras mutated colorectal cancer.

Potentiates cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)

Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor; therapy for Alzheimer's disease

Dapoxetine is a drug that belongs to the group of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It is used to treat premature ejaculation. This drug inhibits the serotonin transporter allowing for an increased action of serotonin at the postsynaptic cleft, thus promoting ejaculatory delay.

AR-R 17779 is a selective agonist for α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) (Ki value = 190 nM for rat α7 receptor). This compound has use as a tool to study the function of α7 nicotinic receptors. One such study revealed a role for α7 nicotinic receptors in nicotine-mediated excitatory effects on hippocampal learning and memory. AR-R17779 reduces formation of atherosclerotic plaques and abdominal aortic aneurysms in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice.
