Sabinene is a natural product that has antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties

Streptozotocin (Streptozocin, NSC-85998) is an antibiotic that enters pancreatic β-cells via the glucose transporter (GLUT2) and induces DNA methylation, leading to β-cell apoptosis. It is toxic to insulin-producing cells and commonly used to establish diabetic animal models. This product is unstable in solution and is recommended to be prepared freshly before use.

Taurine (2-Aminoethanesulfonic acid) is an organic acid widely distributed in animal tissues and is one of the constituents of bile acids. Taurine is involved in a number of processes related to energy expenditure and muscle function, and can treat fatigue and muscles as well as improve immune function.

Simvastatin (MK 733) is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (Ki=0.2 nM) with oral activity. Simvastatin has hypolipidemic activity, inhibits hepatic production of cholesterol, and is also used for the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

PSI is a proteasome inhibitor.

6α-hydroxy Paclitaxel (6α-OH-PTX) is a major metabolite of the anticancer compound paclitaxel and is partially cytotoxic.

DN-108, a thiazolidinedione derivative, acts as an orally active peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) agonist with antidiabetic properties. It improves hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and hyperinsulinemia in diabetic mouse models. DN-108 enhances tissue glucose uptake (e.g., increases 2-deoxyglucose uptake in L6 muscle cells) and inhibits fatty acid synthase activity, making it a promising candidate for type 2 diabetes research.

Galegine hemisulfate, a guanidine derivative, aids in weight reduction in mice. It activates AMPK in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, L6 myotubes, H4IIE rat hepatoma cells, and HEK293 human renal cell lines. Galegine hemisulfate also exhibits antibacterial activity, with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 4 mg/L against Staphylococcus aureus strains.

SHS4121705 is an orally bioavailable mitochondrial uncoupler.1It increases oxygen consumption rate in L6 rat myoblast cells with an EC50value of 4.3 μM. SHS4121705 (25 mg/kg per day in the diet) reduces hepatic steatosis, liver triglyceride levels, and plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in Stelic animal model (STAM) mice, a model of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). 1.Salamoun, J.M., Garcia, C.J., Hargett, S.R., et al.6-Amino[1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-b]pyrazin-5-ol derivatives as efficacious mitochondrial uncouplers in STAM mouse model of nonalcoholic steatohepatitisJ.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) α, δ, γ are ligand-activated nuclear transcription factors involved in the regulation of energy homeostasis as well as insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism. Pharmacologies of PPARδ receptor agonists, though relatively obscure, have recently been reported to elevate high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and lower plasma triglyceride (TG) levels in obese insulin resistant rhesus monkeys. CAY10592 is a full PPARδ agonist (EC50 = 30 nM) in a fatty acid oxidation assay of rat L6 muscle cells with desirable oral pharmacokinetic properties. In a transactivation assay using human PPAR receptors, CAY10592 acts as a selective partial PPARδ agonist (EC50 = 53 nM) with no effect on PPARα or PPARγ activity up to 30 μM. Chronic treatment of high fat fed ApoB100/CETP-transgenic mice with CAY10592 at a dose of 20 mg/kg increases HDL levels, decreases LDL and TG levels, and improves insulin sensitivity.

Tyr-α-CGRP is an N-terminal extended tyrosinated analogue of α-calcitonin gene-related peptide . It binds to amylin receptors AMY1 and AMY3 in COS-7 cells expressing the human receptors (IC50s = 141 and 1.86 nM, respectively). Tyr-α-CGRP also binds to and stimulates cAMP accumulation in rat L6 myocytes (IC50 = 4 nM; EC50 = 12 nM). It also binds to rat brain and spleen membrane preparations (IC50s = 0.2 and 0.5 nM, respectively), induces positive chronotropic and inotropic effects in isolated right and left guinea pig atria (EC50s = 282 and 74 nM, respectively), and inhibits the twitch response in rat vas deferens (EC50 = 1.9 nM).

7,4'-Di-O-methylapigenin (4',7-DIMETHOXY-5-HYDROXYFLAVONE) can inhibit α-glucosidase and α-amylase enzymes and enhance 2-NBDG uptake in L6 cells, it has hypolipidemic effect on mouse pre-adipocyte (3T3L1) cell lines.

Beauverolide Ka, a cyclotetradepsipeptide derived from the Beauveria bassiana fungus, enhances glucose absorption in rat L6 myoblasts cultured at a concentration of 50 μM and exhibits protective effects on HEI-OC1 cells at 10 μM. It demonstrates dose-dependent activities in both L6 myoblasts and myotubes [1] [2].

Compound 6, fac-[Re(CO)3(L6)(H2O)][NO3], a rhenium(I) tricarbonyl aqua complex, serves as an anticancer agent by disrupting mitochondrial function. It exhibits cytotoxicity against prostate cancer cells with an IC50 of 50 nM in PC-3 cells. This compound predominantly localizes in the nucleus, impairs ATP production, and induces apoptosis in PC3 cells without causing necrosis, pyroptosis, or autophagy [1].

5H-Pyrido[3,2-b]indole inhibits Plasmodium falciparum and Trypanosoma cruzi, exhibits cytotoxicity toward L6 cells, and is widely used in biochemical experiments and drug synthesis research.
