1. Prunetin (Prunusetin) significantly reduces serum levels of inflammatory cytokines and mortality in mice challenged with lipopolysaccharide. 2. Prunetin mediates anti-obesity adipogenesis effects by suppressing obesity-related transcription through a feedback mechanism that regulates the expression of adiponectin, adipoR1, adipoR2, and AMPK. 3. Prunetin and biochanin A are potent reducers of NF-κB and ERK activation, zonula occludens 1 tyrosine phosphorylation, and metalloproteinase-mediated shedding activity, which may account for the barrier-improving ability of these isoflavones. 4. Prunetin significantly suppresses ATP-induced mucin secretion from cultured RTSE cells; Prunetin inhibits the production of MUC5AC mucin protein induced by EGF or PMA from NCI-H292 cells; Prunetin also inhibits the expression of MUC5AC mucin gene induced by EGF or PMA from NCI-H292 cells.

1. Obtusifolin has antioxidant properties and improves chemically induced diabetes and its complications by modulation of oxidative stress. 2. Obtusifolin suppresses phthalate esters-mediated bone resorption, thus may be a novel anti-breast-cancer bone me

Songorine (Napellonine) shows favorable anti-tumor activity in preliminary pharmacological verification trials including cell proliferation and molecular docking assays.

IMP-1088 is a potent inhibitor of human N-myristoyltransferases NMT1 and NMT2 dual.

Numidargistat dihydrochloride (CB-1158 dihydrochloride) is an orally active and highly effective arginase (ARG1) inhibitor, an immuno-oncology agent that inhibits TGF-β2-induced subcapsular cataract by reducing the proliferation of lens epithelial cells (LEC) and decreasing the expression of fibronectin, α-SMA, collagen 1A1, and vimentin.

Valspodar (PSC 833), a specific P-glycoprotein inhibitor and MDR regulator, is commonly used as a chemical sensitizer in the study of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer.

Y-27632 dihydrochloride (Y-27632 2HCl) is an orally potent, ATP-competitive inhibitor of ROCK-I and ROCK-II. Y-27632 dihydrochloride also inhibits isolation-induced apoptosis in mouse prostate stem or progenitor cells.

ZINC40099027 is a specific adhesion plaque kinase (FAK) activator that promotes gastric mucosal repair in persistent aspirin-associated gastric injury through activation of adhesion plaque kinase, activates human adhesion plaque kinase by accelerating the enzyme activity of the structural domain of FAK kinase, activates cytosolic FAK, and promotes intestinal epithelial wound closure.

Soraprazan (BYK61359) is a selective potassium channel inhibitor that inhibits gastric acid secretion and ameliorates age-related eye disease by removing lipofuscin from retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells.

RPH-2823, a basic amphotericin analog, is diuretic, natriuretic, and potassium-preserving, inducing a dose-dependent decrease in SCC and an increase in trans-epithelial resistance.

(S)-Coriolic acid (13(S)-HODE) is an important intracellular signaling agent generated by the reaction of linoleic acid with plant and mammalian lipoxygenases. It is involved in cell proliferation and differentiation in various biological systems and inhibits the adhesion of tumor cells to the vascular endothelium, while down-regulating IRGpIIb IIIa receptor expression at around 1 μM. Additionally, (S)-Coriolic acid is a metabolite of 15-lipoxygenase (15-LOX) and often acts as an endogenous ligand to activate PPARγ. It induces mitochondrial dysfunction and airway epithelial damage.

GP 1a is a potent agonist of cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) (EC50=7.1), as shown in cAMP, GTPγS and β-arrestin recruitment assays. GP 1a is approximately 30-fold more selective for CB2 receptors than CB1 receptors and increases P-ERK1/2 expression in HL-60 cells in vitro. GP 1a is beneficial for skin wound healing. GP 1a inhibits inflammation and fibrogenesis while promoting epithelial re-formation.

Navamepent (RX-10045) is an analog of resolvin E1 (a dietary-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolite), which has potent anti-inflammatory activity that reduces corneal inflammation, epithelial damage, and accelerates corneal tissue repair.Navamepent inhibits the release of several key pro-inflammatory mediators from corneal epithelial cells.Navamepent is very effective against dry eye and cupping cell loss Navamepent is effective against dry eye and cupping cell loss, and accelerates tear production.

AXL-IN-13 is a potent and orally active AXL inhibitor with an IC50 of 1.6 nM and a Kd of 0.26 nM. It exhibits anticancer activity, reverses TGF-β1-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and inhibits cancer cell migration and invasion.

Sulindac (Sulindac sulfoxide) is a sulfinylindene derivative prodrug with potential antineoplastic activity. Converted in vivo to an active metabolite, sulindac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), blocks cyclic guanosine monophosphate-phosphodiesterase (cGMP-PDE), an enzyme that inhibits the normal apoptosis signal pathway; this inhibition permits the apoptotic signal pathway to proceed unopposed, resulting in apoptotic cell death.

Methacycline hydrochloride (Rondomycin) is a broad-spectrum semisynthetic antibiotic related to TETRACYCLINE but excreted more slowly and maintaining effective blood levels for a more extended period.

Triamterene is a barosensitive epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) blocker with a diuretic effect. It can also act as an inhibitor of the TGR5 receptor, reducing GLP-1 secretion and cAMP level increases induced by TGR5 activation in a dose-dependent manner.

Rofecoxib (MK 966) binds to and inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), resulting in an inhibition of the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. Rofecoxib is a synthetic, nonsteroidal derivative of phenyl-furanone with anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic properties and potential antineoplastic properties. COX-related metabolic pathways may represent key regulators of cell proliferation and neo-angiogenesis. Some epithelial tumor cell types overexpress pro-angiogenic COX-2.

Its mechanism may involve macrophage dysfunction and gut microbiota dysbiosis. Due to its colonic epithelial toxicity, long-term use can also induce colorectal cancer models.
