a 23187

4-Bromo A23187, a halogenated analog of the calcium ionophore A-23187, acts as a calcium modulator and induces apoptosis in various cells.

Calcimycin (A-23187) hemicalcium salt is an antibiotic and a unique divalent cation ionophore (like calcium and magnesium). It induces Ca2+-dependent cell death by increasing intracellular calcium concentration.

Calcimycin (A-23187) is an ionophorous, polyether carboxylic antibiotic from Streptomyces chartreusensis. It binds and transports calcium and other divalent cations across membranes, uncouples oxidative phosphorylation, and inhibits ATPase of rat liver mitochondria. The substance is primarily used as a biochemical tool to study the role of divalent cations in various biological systems.

Diffractaic Acid (NSC 685595) can inhibit LTB4 biosynthesis in A-23187-stimulated bovine PMNL cells with activity value of 8 μM.

Calcimycin (A-23187) hemimagnesium, an antibiotic and divalent cation ionophore (such as calcium and magnesium), serves various biological roles. It triggers Ca2+-dependent cell death by elevating intracellular calcium levels and suppresses the growth of Gram-positive bacteria and certain fungi. Additionally, this compound hinders ATPase activity and uncouples oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in mammalian cells, ultimately leading to apoptosis [1] [2] [3] [4].

U-51605, a stable analog of the endoperoxide prostaglandin H2 (PGH2), functions as an inhibitor with greater selectivity towards prostacyclin (PGI) synthase over thromboxane (TX) synthase. It also acts as a partial agonist at TP receptors. Studies show that at a concentration of 2.8 µM, U-51605 effectively inhibits PGI synthase in human foreskin fibroblasts, while a concentration of 5.6 µM is required to inhibit human platelet TX synthase. Furthermore, U-51605, at up to 1 µM, decreases the release of prostacyclin in SHR aorta triggered by the calcium ionophore A-23187 without impacting TXA2 production, and notably enhances the release of PGE2 and PGF2α.

Morolic acid and moronic acid have shown sustained antidiabetic and antihyperglycemic action possibly mediated by an insulin sensitization with consequent changes of glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides, in part mediated by inhibition of 11β-HSD 1. Moro
