fas receptor

Rimiducid is a lipid-permeable tacrolimus analogue, homodimerizing an analogue of human protein fkbp12 and binding to wild-type fkbp12 with 1000-fold lower affinity. Rimiducid is a dimerizer agent that acts by cross-linking the FKBP domains. It dimerizes the Caspase 9 suicide switch and rapidly induces apoptosis.

TCPOBOP, a constitutive androstane receptor agonist, induces robust hepatocyte proliferation and hepatomegaly while decreasing Fas-induced murine liver injury by altering Bcl-2 proteins.

22(S)-hydroxy Cholesterol is a synthetic oxysterol and a modulator of the liver X receptor (LXR). [1] t prevents monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) expression induced by the LXR agonist GW 3965 in primary hepatocytes and downregulates mRNA expression of the LXR target genes CD36, ACSL1, and SCD-1 in human myotubes. It decreases triacylglycerol and diacylglycerol synthesis from labeled palmitate and acetate, respectively, in human myoblasts by 50% when used at a concentration of 10 uM. 22(S)-hydroxy Cholesterol also reduces fatty acid synthase (FAS) reporter activity through an LXR response element in the promoter region in COS-1 cells transfected with RXRα and LXRα and decreases the expression of MCP-1 and CCR2 in a mouse model of chronic ethanol consumption.[1] [2] Dietary supplementation of 22(S)-hydroxy cholesterol (30 mg/kg per day) leads to less body weight gain and lower liver triacylglycerol levels in rats when fed either a regular chow or high-fat diet as well as prevents an increase in plasma triacylglycerol levels resulting from a high-fat diet.[3]

1. Pseudoprotodioscin has moderate cytotoxicity.

Apoptotic agent-1 (Compound 8a) induces over-expression of the Fas receptor and Cyto C genes, exhibiting high antiproliferative activity against cancer cells and low cytotoxic effects [1].

LXR antagonist 2 (compound 10rr) is a potent LXR (liver X receptor) inverse agonist, targeting LXRβ (IC50: 0.36 μM) and LXRα (IC50: 2.25 μM). It serves as an adipogenesis inhibitor, downregulating LXR target genes SREBP-1c, ACC, FAS, and SCD-1, and demonstrates hypolipidemic activity in Triton WR-1339-induced hyperlipidemic mice.

Met-12 is a peptide inhibitor of the Fas receptor. It suppresses Fas receptor-mediated apoptosis in photoreceptor cells and reduces Caspase activation, making it a potential candidate for research on photoreceptor protectants.
