Berberine may as a broad-spectrum anti-microbial medicine, a complementary therapeutic agent for HIV/AIDS. 3. Berberine seems to act as an herbal antidepressant and a neuroprotector against neurodegenerative disorders. 4. Berberine is used in histology for staining heparin in mast cells. As a natural dye, berberine has a colour index of 7516. 5. Berberine reduces hepatic fat content in rats with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease; also prevents proliferation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), which are central for the development of fibrosis during liver injury. 6. Berberine can ameliorate proinflammatory cytokines-induced intestinal epithelial tight junction damage in vitro, and berberine may be one of the targeted therapeutic agents that can restore barrier function in intestinal disease states. 7. Berberine has antineoplastic effects, including breast cancer, leukemia, melanoma, epidermoid carcinoma, hepatoma, pancreatic cancer, oral carcinoma, tongue carcinoma, glioblastoma, prostate carcinoma and gastric carcinoma, etc.

Palmitoylethanolamide (Impulsin) is an endogenously fatty acid amide. It has a role as an anti-inflammatory drug, an antihypertensive agent, a neuroprotective agent and an anticonvulsant.Upon administration, palmitoylethanolamide may inhibit the release of pro-inflammatory mediators from activated mast cells.

1-Heptanol (Heptan-1-ol) is a RIFM spice that is a cell membrane fluidizer and induces signaling to mast cells.1-Heptanol shows antiarrhythmic effects in atrial species of Langendorff perfused mouse hearts.1-Heptanol is a RIFM spice that is a cell membrane fluidizer and induces signaling to mast cells.1-Heptanol is a RIFM spice that is a RIFM spice and induces signaling to mast cells.

Cenisertib is A potent ATP-competitive multi-kinase inhibitor, showing inhibitory effects on the activity of Aurora-kinase-A B, ABL1, AKT, STAT5, FLT3, as well as kinase inhibitors of FER and its homolog. Cenisertib inhibits the growth of tumor mast cells (MCS) by inhibiting the activity of several different molecular targets. Cenisertib also inhibits tumor growth in pancreatic, breast, colon, ovarian and lung cancer and leukemia in xenograft models.

MK-571 sodium (L-660711 sodium salt) is a selective, orally active antagonist of the CysLT1 receptor. MK-571 sodium is a multidrug resistance protein-2 (ABCC2, Mrp2) inhibitor used to demonstrate the role of Mrp2 in the cellular efflux of drugs, xenobiotics, and their conjugates. MK-571 sodium can inhibit the synthesis of K-4′-O-GlcA (19.7 μM). MK571 dose-dependently inhibits the intracellular biosynthesis of all flavonol sulphates and glucuronides by Caco-2 cells. MK-571 sodium significantly inhibits phase-2 conjugation of kaempferol by cell-free extracts of Caco-2, and production of kaempferol-4′-O-glucuronide was competitively inhibited. In addition to inhibiting MRP2, MK571 is a potent inhibitor of enterocyte phase-2 conjugation.

Rupatadine (UR-12592, rupatadine) is a potent and orally available dual antagonist of PAF and histamine H1 receptors with Ki values of 0.55 μM and 0.1 μM, respectively, which provides relief of allergic symptoms and anti-inflammatory properties, and is used in allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria.

WHI-P97 is a rationally designed potent inhibitor of JAK-3. IC50 value: Target: JAK3 Treatment of mast cells with WHI-P97 inhibited the translocation of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) from the nucleoplasm to the nuclear membrane and consequently 5-LO-dependent leukotriene (LT) synthesis after IgE receptor FcepsilonRI crosslinking by >90% at low micromolar concentrations. WHI-P97 did not directly inhibit the enzymatic activity of 5-LO, but prevented its translocation to the nuclear membrane without affecting the requisite calcium signal.
