Dexamethasone is a glucocorticoid receptor agonist.
Valproic acid (VPA) sodium (2:1) is an orally active HDAC inhibitor, with IC50 in the range of 0.5 and 2 mM, also inhibits HDAC1 (IC50, 400 μM), and induces proteasomal degradation of HDAC2. Valproic acid sodium (2:1) activates Notch1 signaling and inhibits proliferation in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells. Valproic acid sodium (2:1) is used in the treatment of epilepsy, bipolar disorder, metabolic disease, HIV infection and prevention of migraine headaches[1][2][3][4][5][6][7].
URB597 is a potent, orally bioavailable FAAH inhibitor with IC50 of 4.6 nM, with no activity on other cannabinoid-related targets.IC50 value: 4.6 nM [1]Target: FAAH in vitro: URB597 binds in the hydrophobic pocket and catalytic core of FAAH that connects the active site residues to the membrane surface of FAAH [1]. URB597 reduces the expression of the LPS-induced enzymes cyclo-oxygenase 2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS; NOS2) in primary rat microglial cell, with a concomitant reduction in the release of the inflammatory mediators prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and (NO) nitric oxide [2]. in vivo: URB597 inhibits [3H]anandamide hydrolysis in rat brain membranes with a parallel increase in brain anandamide, OEA, and PEA content by inhibition of FAAH. URB597 enhances the hypothermia effect induced by ethanolamide by inhibiting FAAH [3]. When delivered intraperitonealy (0.3 mg/kg) URB597 reduces allodynia and hyperalgesia through cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptor-mediated analgesia in rats with inflammatory pain [4].
Carbamazepine-D10 (CBZ-D10) is the deuterium labeled Carbamazepine. Carbamazepine (CBZ), a sodium channel blocker, is an anticonvulsant agent[1][2].
GSK2578215A is a potent and highly selective LRRK2 inhibitor; exhibits IC50s of around 10 nM against both wild-type LRRK2 and the G2019S mutant.IC50 value: ~10 nM(wt-LRRK2; LRRK2 G2019S) [1]Target: LRRK2 inhibitorGSK2578215A exhibits exceptionally high selectivity for LRRK2 across the kinome, substantially inhibits Ser910 and Ser935 phosphorylation of both wild-type LRRK2 and G2019S mutant at a concentration of 0.3–1.0 μM in cells and in mouse spleen and kidney, but not in brain, following intraperitoneal injection of 100 mg/kg [1].
Quinacrine is a fluorescent probe for the conformational transitions of the cholinergic receptor protein. Quinacrine shows activity in the low μM range with a mean IC50 of 2.30 μM In the patient AML cells.IC50 value: 2.30 μM (for AML cells)Target:in vitro: Quinacrine is a fluorescent probe for the conformational transitions of the cholinergic receptor protein in its membrane-bound state.[1] In the patient AML samples, Quinacrine showed activity in the low μM range with a mean IC50 of 2.30 μM, statistically significantly lower than that of normal PBMCs; 3.54 μM (P=0.0327; Student's t-test). Samples from patients with chronic lymphocytic, acute myeloid and lymphocytic leukemias as well as peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were tested in response to 1266 compounds from the LOPAC1280 library. 25 compounds were defined as hits with activity in all leukemia subgroups (<50% cell survival compared with control) at 10 μM drug concentration. Only Quinacrine showed concurrent high activity in all leukemia subgroups and low activity in normal PBMCs and was, therefore, selected for further preclinical evaluation. Quinacrine also induced early inhibition of both DNA and protein synthesis. Quinacrine have repositioning potential for treatment of acute myeloid leukemia by targeting of ribosomal biogenesis.[2]
