Psychotridine is an alkaloid that has been found inP. forsterianaand has diverse biological activities.1,2,3It inhibits ADP-, collagen-, or thrombin-induced aggregation of washed isolated human platelets with IC50values of 1.4, 1.4, and 3.9 μM, respectively.1Psychotridine (2.5 or 5 μM) is cytotoxic to HTC rat hepatocellular carcinoma cells.2It reduces paw licking induced by capsaicin in mice when administered at doses of 0.5, 2.5, or 5 mg/kg.3 1.Beretz, A., Roth-Georger, A., Corre, G., et al.Polyindolinic alkaloids from Psychotria forsteriana.

Galanin (Human) (Acetate) is a 30-amino acid neuropeptide and galanin (GAL) receptor agonist.It inhibits forskolin-induced cAMP production in HEK293E cells expressing recombinant human GAL1 receptors (EC50= 0.031 nM) and stimulates inositol phosphate accumulation in CHO cells expressing recombinant human GAL2receptors (EC50= 12.3 nM).Human galanin induces contractions in isolated rat longitudinal fundus strips with an EC50value of 13.8 nM.Intrathecal administration of human galanin (3, 10, and 30 nmol/animal) reduces paw licking and flinching in the second, but not first, phase of the formalin test in rats.

Hodgkinsine is a pyrrolidinoindoline alkaloid that has been found inP. colorataand has analgesic activity.1It increases latency to paw licking in the hot plate test and latency to tail withdrawal in the tail-flick test in mice when administered at a dose of 5 mg kg. 1.Amador, T.A., Verotta, L., Nunes, D.S., et al.Antinociceptive profile of hodgkinsinePlanta Med.66(8)770-772(2000)

PF-4840154 is a potent, selective agonist of the rat and human TrpA1 channel, eliciting TrpA1-mediated nocifensive behavior in mouse, with EC50 values of 97 nM and 23 nM for [rTrpA1] and [hTrpA1], respectively.
