L17E, an endosomolytic peptide, is a cationic amphiphilic peptide with specific membrane lytic activity for late endosomes (LEs).

Within the acidic environment of LEs, L17E perturbs and lyses the LE membrane, leading to disruption of LE membrane and release of LE content to the cytosol. L17E is used to investigate the role of the endosomal protein trafficking pathway[1].

PSN632408 is an optimized agonist of GPR119 receptors that shows similar potency to OEA at both recombinant mouse and human GPR119 receptors, exhibiting EC50 values of 5.6 and 7.9 uM, respectively.IC50 value: 5.6/7.9 uM ( recombinant mouse/ human GPR119) [1]Target: GPR119 agonistSystemic administration of PSN632408 (30 mg/kgintraperitoneally) suppresses food intake, reduces weight gain, and white adipose tissue deposition in rats. GPR119 (previously designated SNORF25) is an orphan G protein-coupled receptor expressed predominantly in the pancreas and gastrointestinal tract in humans and in the brain, pancreas, and gastrointestinal tract in rodents. It mediates a reduction in food intake and body weight gain in rats upon treatment with oleoyl ethanolamide (OEA), an endogenous, potent agonist for PPARα. These data suggest that PSN632408 may be useful as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of obesity.
Adenosine is a nucleoside composed of a molecule of adenine attached to a ribose sugar molecule (ribofuranose) moiety via a β-N9-glycosidic bond.Target: Nucleoside antimetabolite/analogAdenosine plays an important role in biochemical processes, such as energy transfer — as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) — as well as in signal transduction as cyclic adenosine monophosphate, cAMP. It is also an inhibitory neurotransmitter, believed to play a role in promoting sleep and suppressing arousal. Adenosine also plays a role in regulation of blood flow to various organs through vasodilation.Adenosine is an endogenous purine nucleoside that modulates many physiological processes. Cellular signaling by adenosine occurs through four known adenosine receptor subtypes. Extracellular adenosine concentrations from normal cells are approximately 300 nM; however, in response to cellular damage (e.g. in inflammatory or ischemic tissue), these concentrations are quickly elevated (600–1,200 nM). Thus, in regard to stress or injury, the function of adenosine is primarily that of cytoprotection preventing tissue damage during instances of hypoxia, ischemia, and seizure activity. Activation of A2A receptors produces a constellation of responses that in general can be classified as anti-inflammatory.

MB05032 is a special and efficacious GNG inhibitor targeted the AMP binding site of fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) with an IC50 value of 16 nM. IC50 Value: 16 nM (Human Liver FBPase) [1]Target: Fructose 1, 6-bisphosphataseOral delivery of MB05032 was achieved by using the bisamidate prodrug MB06322 (CS-917), which is converted to MB05032 in two steps through the action of an esterase and a phosphoramidase.in vitro: MB05032 inhibits human liver FBPase with a potency (IC50 = 16 ± 1.5 nM) significantly greater than the natural inhibitor, AMP (IC50 = 1 μM), and the most well characterized AMP mimetic, ZMP (IC50 = 12 ± 1.4 μM). MB05032 inhibits rat FBPase 3-fold weaker (IC50 of 61 ± 4 nM) than human FBPase, whereas AMP is 20-fold weaker as an inhibitor [1]. Inhibition of FBPase activity in islet β-cells by its specific inhibitor MB05032 led to significant increase of their glucose utilization and cellular ATP to ADP ratios and consequently enhanced GSIS in vitro [2]. in vivo: Oral administration of MB06322 to young (8-9 weeks old) ZDF rats with mild diabetes (basal insulin levels of 7.7 ± 0.7 ng/ml) and aged (12-13 weeks) ZDF rats with overt diabetes (basal insulin levels of 0.65 ± 0.16 ng/ml) results in dose-dependent glucose lowering. The dose-response is relatively steep, with 6-10 mg/kg and 30-100 mg/kg being the approximate doses associated with minimal and maximal activity, respectively [1]. Pretreatment of mice with the MB05032 prodrug MB06322 could potentiate GSIS in vivo and improve their glucose tolerance [2].Toxicity: Neither lactate nor triglycerides increased in 8- to 9-week-old ZDF rats with mild diabetes treated with high doses of MB06322. In ZDF rats with more advanced disease, lactate and triglyceride levels were elevated but only modestly (<2-fold). These results suggest that, unlike inhibitors of other GNG enzymes, FBPase inhibitors may lower glucose with an adequate safety margin [1].Clinical trial: Evaluation of Glucose Lowering Effect, Safety and Tolerability of CS-917.
