Leganti organometallici

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.

<p>Antagonist of dopamine (D2), serotonin (5-HT2A) and histamine H1 receptors</p>

<p>K02288 is a small molecule inhibitor, which is derived from extensive chemical synthesis and compound screening techniques. It functions as a selective antagonist of the activin receptor-like kinase (ALK) pathway, specifically inhibiting Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-β) superfamily receptor signaling. This pathway is crucial in a variety of cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis, thereby making K02288 an important tool in cell signaling and cancer research.</p>

Tricyclic antidepressant

Ponalrestat is an aldose reductase inhibitor, which is a synthetic compound developed for pharmacological purposes. It originates from chemical synthesis designed to target and inhibit the enzyme aldose reductase effectively. The mode of action involves the competitive inhibition of aldose reductase, an enzyme involved in the polyol pathway of glucose metabolism. By preventing the reduction of glucose to sorbitol, it reduces sorbitol accumulation associated with diabetic complications.

<p>γ-secretase inhibitor; inhibits notch signaling</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>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>

Beta-adrenoceptor antagonist; anti-hypertensive

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>L-type calcium channel blocker</p>

<p>Positive allosteric modulator of the metabotropic glutamate receptor mGluR5 with EC50 in submicromolar range. The compound is able to increase mGluR5 function in vitro and in vivo. A study showed that ADX-47273 enhanced fear extinction learning as well as improved reversal learning in experimental animals.</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>Pasireotide acetate is a synthetic cyclic peptide and a somatostatin analogue, which is derived from the chemical synthesis based on the structure of native somatostatins. It operates by binding to somatostatin receptors with high affinity, primarily targeting the sst1, sst2, sst3, and sst5 receptor subtypes. This binding inhibits the secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which can modulate the excess production of cortisol in conditions such as Cushing’s disease.</p>

<p>Dopamine D2 receptor antagonist</p>

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

<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>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>

<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>

<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.</p>
