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.

<p>SHP099 is an allosteric inhibitor of the SHP2 protein, which is derived from targeted small-molecule drug development. Its mode of action involves binding to SHP2 in a region distinct from the catalytic site, thereby stabilizing the protein in its auto-inhibited conformation and preventing activation. This disrupts downstream signaling pathways mediated by SHP2, a protein-tyrosine phosphatase essential in promoting oncogenic signaling through the RAS/MAPK pathway.</p>

<p>Pan-class I phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor (IC50 = 3, 33, 3 and 75 nM at catalytic subunits p110α, p110β, p110δ and p110γ respectively). Inhibits proliferation in several cancer cell lines, such as glioblastoma, breast and prostate cancer cells. Has synergistic anti-cancer effect in combination with MEK/ERK kinase inhibitor GDC-0973 (cobimetinib).</p>

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.

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.

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.

<p>KBU2046 is an antimicrobial peptide, which is derived from natural or synthetic peptide sequences with potential therapeutic properties. It exerts its effects by disrupting the structure and integrity of bacterial cell membranes through the formation of pores or micelles. This action alters membrane permeability, ultimately leading to cell lysis and death.</p>

<p>Inhibits protein translocation from ER to Golgi; fungal metabolite</p>

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.

<p>Antagonist of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors</p>

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.

<p>Bexarotene is a retinoid and antineoplastic agent that is used for the treatment of solid tumours and t-cell lymphomas. It inhibits the growth in vitro of some tumor cell lines of hematopoietic and squamous cell origin and research has shown that it induces tumor regression in vivo in some animal models.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>Melatonin is a neurotransmitter produced by the pineal gland that is involved in the regulation of sleep-wake cycles. It can be used to treat several conditions like shift work disorders, insomnia, jet lag, and alterations of the circadian rhythm. Some authors also proposed the use of melatonin against cognitive disorders. In an interesting research conducted on zebrafish, it was found that memory formation occurs better during daytime compared to nighttime, suggesting a role of melatonin in this process. When melatonin was administered during the daytime it caused reduced memory formation. On the contrary, removing the pineal gland or treating the fish with a melatonin antagonist significantly improves nighttime memory formation.</p>

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.

<p>S26131 is an advanced glycation end product (AGE) inhibitor, which is a synthetic compound designed for laboratory research purposes. It is derived from chemical synthesis processes, offering a robust tool for investigating the biochemical pathways associated with glycation. Its mechanism of action involves the inhibition of AGE formation, which is a post-translational modification resulting from the non-enzymatic reaction between sugars and proteins or lipids. This biochemical modulation is vital for studying the implications of glycation in various physiological and pathological contexts.</p>

Methotrexate is a chemotherapeutic and immunosuppressive medication, which is a synthetic analog of folic acid. Its source is through chemical synthesis, mimicking the structure of dihydrofolate in order to exert its effects. Methotrexate acts primarily by inhibiting the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), leading to a decrease in tetrahydrofolate production. This disruption in folate metabolism results in the inhibition of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis, which affects rapidly dividing cells.Methotrexate is employed broadly in clinical oncology as an antineoplastic agent, particularly in the treatment of leukemias, lymphomas, breast cancer, and osteosarcoma. Additionally, it serves as a cornerstone for managing autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis, where it helps modulate the aberrant immune response. The dual role of Methotrexate in oncology and immunosuppression underscores its versatility and critical importance in therapeutic regimens. However, its use demands careful monitoring due to potential adverse effects on non-cancerous cells and organ systems, necessitating precise dosage management and patient evaluation.
