Carbidopa (Lodosyn) is an aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase inhibitor (IC50: 29±2 μM). It is used in PARKINSON DISEASE to reduce peripheral adverse effects of LEVODOPA.

Ensaculin (Anseculin), a novel benzopyrone partially substituted with piperazine, showed memory-enhancing effects in passive and conditioned avoidance paradigms in normal and artificially amnesic rodents. It showed neuroprotective activity in a model of NMDA toxicity and neurotrophic effects in primary cultured rat brain cells.Ensaculin can be used for the treatment of dementia.

Litoxetine is a selective 5-HT uptake inhibitor and is a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. Litoxetine acts as an antidepressant and has shown antiemetic properties in ferrets. Litoxetine (1 and 10 mg/kg i.v.) dose-dependently reduced the number of regurgitations and vomiting and delayed the onset of vomiting. Litoxetine has an affinity for brain 5HT3 receptors (Ki = 85 nM).

Litoxetine HCl is a selective 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and mixed 5-hydroxytryptamine antagonist used in the treatment of urinary incontinence. Litoxetine HCl in the absence of antimuscarinic concentrations without antimuscarinic properties (10 nM-1 microM) caused concentration-dependent relaxation of isolated oesophageal muscle mucosa in rats, reducing carbachol tone by up to 37%. Higher concentrations of Litoxetine HCl (3 microM-300 microM) were associated with significant relaxation up to abolition of carbachol tone. The antiarrhythmic activity of Litoxetine HCl, previously demonstrated in the isolated guinea pig intestine, was exerted in the isolated rat oesophageal muscle mucosa at concentrations greater than 1 microM. The 5-HT-releasing effect of Litoxetine HCl could explain the potency of Litoxetine HCl on 5-HT-induced relaxation in untreated rat tissue, which was reversed by pCPA treatment.

Pipoxizine has an antagonistic effect on histamine-induced bronchoconstriction and may be used in the study of asthma disease.

S19-1035 is a potent and specific inhibitor of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3), displaying an inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 3.04 nM. It is primarily utilized in tumor research.

JB062 is a chemical compound acting as a nonmuscle myosin inhibitor, exhibiting IC50 values of 1.6, 5.4, and >100 μM against skeletal muscle myosin, cardiac muscle myosin, and smooth muscle myosin II, respectively. It selectively exhibits cytotoxicity towards human cancer cells without affecting normal cells. The compound is applicable in research fields concerning muscle spasticity, chronic musculoskeletal pain, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
