Organometallic Ligands

Specific inhibitor of the ubiquitin specific protease-7 (USP7), which is a validated deubiquitinase of the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase MDM2. The compound inhibits the USP7 deubiquitinase activity by binding to acidic amino acid residues important for the interaction with ubiquitin. Induces tumor cell death and enhances cytotoxicity of chemotherapeutic agents.

Potent and selective positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of metabotropic glutamate receptor mGlu4. Valiglurax is orally bioavailable and CNS-penetrant mGlu4 PAM in preclinical development for the Parkinson’s disease therapy and alleviation of the motor symptoms.

Malotilate is a pharmacological agent that is used to treat symptoms of hepatitis, bowel disease, and collagen diseases. This drug reduces collagen synthesis and cell migration activity of fibroblasts in vitro. It also has been shown to facilitate liver regeneration in rats.

Inhibitor of NLRP3 inflammasome and suppressor of the inflammatory cytokine IL-1β secretion. The compound was tested in diabetic mice and was shown to decrease the incidence of cardiac arrythmias, which are common secondary complications in diabetes mellitus. MCC 950 has potential to reverse diabetes-induced pathologies in cardiac electrophysiology.

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.

Potent inhibitor of γ-secretase. LY 411575 inhibited production of amyloid β (Aβ) peptides with IC50 of 0.078 nM in vitro as well as decreased levels of Aβ40 and Aβ42 amyloids in brain of a mouse model for Alzheimer’s disease. In vitro studies confirmed that LY 411575 inhibited cleavage of Notch receptor at S3 site with IC50 of 0.39 nM, which blocked Notch activation and downstream signalling, leading to apoptosis in primary and immortalized Kaposi's sarcoma cells.

BRAF kinase inhibitor; antineoplastic

Azumolene is a muscle relaxant drug, which is a synthetic derivative of dantrolene originating from hydantoin. The mode of action of Azumolene involves the inhibition of calcium ion release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of skeletal muscle fibers. By impeding this release, Azumolene effectively reduces muscle contraction, thereby acting as a potent muscle relaxant.

7-Prenyloxycoumarin is a naturally occurring compound, often categorized as a phytochemical, which is primarily isolated from various plant sources including the Rutaceae family. This compound exhibits intriguing biochemical properties due to its unique molecular structure, primarily the presence of a prenyloxy group attached to the coumarin core. The mode of action of 7-Prenyloxycoumarin primarily involves its ability to interact with biological membranes and proteins, leading to modulation of enzymatic activity and disruption of pathogen cell walls.

Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor; therapy for Alzheimer's disease

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.

Potent and specific inhibitor of the tyrosine protein kinase Mer precursor (MERTK) with 38-fold selectivity over the FMS-like protein kinase FLT3. UNC 4203 inhibits MERTK with an IC50 value of 2.4 nM and shows favourable pharmacokinetic properties. In vivo experiments in mice showed that UNC 4203 dramatically decreased the phosphorylation of MERTK in bone marrow leukemia cells.

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.
