Acifluorfen is a protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) inhibitor herbicide that promotes the accumulation of protoporphyrin IX. It induces liver tumors, liver injury, and cardiac dysfunction in rodents, and causes severe photooxidative damage to pigments and lipids in susceptible plants. It can be used to induce hepatitis and pancreatitis.

Azalanstat (RS 21607) is an orally available selective mammalian lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase inhibitor with hypocholesterolemic activity that inhibits cholesterol synthesis in HepG2 cells, human fibroblasts, hamster hepatocytes, and hamster livers through inhibition of the cytochrome P450 enzyme, lanosterol 14 alpha demethylase.

LI-2242 is a potent inositol hexakisphosphate kinase (IP6K) inhibitor with IC50s of 31 nM, 42 nM, 8.7 nM, and 1944 nM for IP6K1, IP6K2, IP6K3, and IPMK, respectively.LI-2242 ameliorated hepatic steatosis by reducing the expression of genes that enhance lipid uptake, lipid stabilization, and adipogenesis, and enhanced mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and insulin signaling in adipocytes and hepatocytes in vitro. LI-2242 ameliorated diet-induced obesity, hyperglycemia and hepatic steatosis in mice.LI-2242 can be used to study type II diabetes, obesity, metabolic complications, venous thrombosis and psychiatric disorders.

Phanginin A, a natural product discovered in Caesalpinia sappan Linn, activates SIK1 and inhibits gluconeogenesis in mouse primary hepatocytes. Phanginin A increases PDE4 activity and suppresses the hepatic cAMP/PKA/CREB pathway, improving metabolic disorders in ob/ob mice. It may be used in studies of type 2 diabetes.

AMPK activator 12 is an AMPK activator and GDF15 inducer that elevates the expression level of GDF15 protein in human hepatocytes, which can be used for cancer research.

FH1 (NSC-12407) (BRD-K4477), a small molecule, enhances the functions of hepatocytes and promotes differentiation hepatocytes derived by iPS.

1. Oxyresveratro can inhibit tyrosinase activity. 2. Oxyresveratro is useful to trauma models, as toxicity to glia could be beneficial by inhibiting reactive gliosis. 3. Oxyresveratrol (trans-Oxyresveratrol) has antioxidant activity, can reduce neuronal oxidative damage and protect hepatocytes against oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, which may be associated with activation of Nrf2.

Glycoursodeoxycholic acid (Ursodeoxycholylglycine) is an acyl glycine and a bile acid-glycine conjugate. It is a secondary bile acid produced by the action of enzymes existing in the microbial flora of the colonic environment. In hepatocytes, both primary and secondary bile acids undergo amino acid conjugation at the C-24 carboxylic acid on the side chain, and almost all bile acids in the bile duct, therefore, exist in a glycine conjugated form. Bile acids are steroid acids found predominantly in bile of mammals.

The mechanism by which Glycodeoxycholate Sodium induces apoptosis in hepatocytes is related to DNA cleavage by endonucleases. It is a secondary bile acid produced by the action of enzymes present in the microflora of the colonic environment.

Cholesteryl Hemisuccinate (Cholesterol hydrogen succinate) is a highly soluble cholesterol analogue often used in polar solutions for its hepatoprotective, anticancer and tumour growth inhibiting properties. Cholesteryl Hemisuccinate inhibits the hepatotoxicity of acetaminophen and prevents AAP-induced apoptosis and necrosis in hepatocytes. Cholesteryl Hemisuccinate inhibits DNA polymerase and DNA topoisomerase, thereby inhibiting DNA replication and repair as well as cell division.

3,3'-Diiodo-L-thyronine (3,3'-T2) is an endogenous thyroid hormone metabolite capable of enhancing mitochondrial COX activity in rat hepatocytes.

Gamma-glutamylcysteine TFA (γ-glutamylcysteine TFA) is a precursor of glutathione (GSH) with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It alleviates oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage induced by ethanol in hepatocytes by increasing cellular GSH, SOD activity, and mitochondrial membrane potential, protecting cells from alcohol-induced liver disease (ALD) by inhibiting oxidative stress, reducing inflammation, and preventing cell apoptosis.

ICA-105665 (PF-04895162) is a potent and orally active opener of neuronal Kv7.2/7.3 and Kv7.3/7.5 potassium channels. ICA-105665 had low cytotoxic potential in human hepatocytes but inhibited liver mitochondrial function and bile salt export protein (BSEP) transport (IC50 of 311 μM). ICA-105665 can penetrate the central nervous system (CNS) and has antiseizure effects [1][2][3][4].
