inh 1

ODN INH-1, a palindromic and class R ('restricted') inhibitory ODN, is a potent inhibitor of TLR9-induced B cells and macrophages.

INH1 (IBT13131) is a cell-permeable Hec1 inhibitor that specifically disrupts the Hec1 Nek2 interaction.

RNF5 agonist 1 (analog-1), a structural analog of the RNF5 inhibitor inh-02, is a potent RNF5 agonist. In CFBE41o- cells expressing F508del-CFTR, RNF5 agonist 1 enhances the ubiquitination of ATG4B.

RNF5 inhibitor inh-02, a potent E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF5/RMA1 inhibitor, demonstrates significant efficacy in rescuing F508del-CFTR with an EC50 of 2.2 uM in bronchial epithelial cells homozygous for the F508del mutation. This compound is valuable for cystic fibrosis research[1].

OPC-167832 is a potent and orally active dprE1 Inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.258 μM. OPC-167832 has antituberculosis activity and can be used for the research of tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis[1]. OPC-167832 exhibits very low MICs against laboratory strains of M. tuberculosis H37Rv (MIC: 0.0005 μg/ml) and Kurono (MIC: 0.0005 μg/ml) and strains with monoresistance to rifampin (RIF), isoniazid (INH), ethambutol (EMB), streptomycin (STR), and pyrazinamide (PZA) (MIC: 0.00024-0.001 μg/ml). However, OPC-167832 has minimal or no activity against standard strains of nonmycobacterial aerobic and anaerobic bacteria[1].The IC90 values of OPC-167832 against intracellular M. tuberculosis strains H37Rv and Kurono are 0.0048 and 0.0027 μg/ml, respectively. OPC-167832 shows bactericidal activity against intracellular M. tuberculosis at a low concentration, and the bactericidal activity is saturated at concentrations of 0.004 μg/ml or higher[1]. OPC-167832 (oral administration; 0.625-10 mg/kg) exhibits a good pharmacokinetic characteristic. The plasma reaches peak at 0.5 h to 1.0 h (tmax) and is eliminated with a half-life (t1/2) of 1.3 h to 2.1 h OPC-167832 distribution in the lungs is approximately 2 times higher than that in plasma, and the Cmax and AUCt of OPC-167832 in plasma and the lungs shows dose dependency[1].OPC-167832 (oral administration; 0.625-10 mg/kg; 4 weeks) significantly reduces lung CFU compared to the vehicle group. The dose-dependent decrease of lung CFU is observed from 0.625 mg/kg to 2.5 mg/kg. In a M. tuberculosis Kurono-infected ICR female mice model. OPC-167832 combines with DMD, BDQ, or LVX via oral gavage exhibits significantly higher efficacies than each single agent alone[1].[1].OPC-167832 (oral gavage; 2.5 mg/kg; combination with DCMB; 12 weeks) demonstrates the most potent efficacy when compares with DC, DCB. The lung CFU count after 6 weeks of treatment is below the detection limit, and at the end of just 8 weeks of treatment, the bacteria in the lungs of all the evaluated mice had already been eradicate[1].

Thiocarlide (isoxyl) is a thiourea derivative that was used in the 1960s to successfully treat tuberculosis (TB). It has considerable antimycobacterial activity in vitro and is effective against multi-drug resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the range of 1-10 µg/ml. [1] [2] At concentrations of 10 µM, isoxyl inhibits the synthesis of M. bovis during six hours of exposure which is similar to isoniazid (INH) and ethionamide (ETH), two other predominant anti-tuberculosis drugs. Unlike INH and ETH, isoxyl also partially inhibits the synthesis of fatty acids. Isoxyl shows no acute toxicity against primary macrophage cell cultures as demonstrated by diminution of redox activity.[2]

Mtb-IN-4 (compound 17h) is a non-toxic isoxazole that exhibits anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) activity with an IC50 value of 0.70 μM. It impedes Mtb respiration and biofilm formation within macrophages and augments the efficacy of the antibiotic isoniazid (INH) against INH-resistant Mtb mutants [1].

Mtb-IN-5 (compound (-)17j) is an isoxazole with anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) activity, inhibiting Mtb respiration and biofilm formation within macrophages, and enhancing the efficacy of the antibiotic isoniazid (INH) against INH-resistant Mtb mutants [1].
