Moreover, AChE BChE-IN-23 prevents the activation of microglial cells by inhibiting the release of reactive oxygen species and mitochondrial damage. Additionally, it reduces the levels of the NLRP3 inflammasome in human microglial cells and reverses memory impairment in mice induced by scopolamine.

TFGF-18 is a GSK-3β inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.59 μM. It suppresses microglial activation and the release of pro-inflammatory mediators induced by LPS by inhibiting GSK-3β and downstream p65 NF-κB signaling. TFGF-18 also prevents neuronal apoptosis and oxidative stress, reduces the expression of Bax, caspase-3, and cleaved-caspase-3, while increasing Bcl-2 expression. It offers neuroprotection by inhibiting neuroinflammation and alleviating cognitive impairment.

T-5342126 is a toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) antagonist that reduces LPS-induced production of nitric oxide (NO) in RAW 264.7 cells (IC50 = 27.8 μM) and decreases LPS-induced IL-8, TNF-α, and IL-6 production in isolated human whole blood (IC50s = 110.5, 315.6, and 318.4 μM, respectively). T-5342126 (82 mg kg) also reduces ethanol intake and the abundance of ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba1), a marker of microglial activation, in the central nucleus of the amygdala in ethanol-dependent mice.

Poloxamer 188 is a nonionic triblock copolymer surfactant and bioactive excipient used as a medical excipient to exacerbate cerebral amyloidosis, presynaptic dystrophy, and pathogenic microglial cell activation in 5XFAD mice.

HAMI 3379 (HAMI3379) is a selective cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 2 (CysLT2) antagonist that dose- and time-dependently attenuates brain damage and inhibits microglial cell inflammation following focal cerebral ischemia in rats and attenuates ischemia-like neuronal damage by inhibiting microglial activation.

Methylene Blue (Basic Blue 9) hydrate functions as an inhibitor of guanylyl cyclase (sGC), monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A), and NO synthase (NOS). This compound, known for its vasopressor activity, is widely utilized as a dye in various medical procedures. It operates via the nitric oxide synthase guanylate cyclase signaling pathway to diminish prepulse inhibition and possesses the capacity to cross the blood-brain barrier. Methylene Blue hydrate acts as a REDOX cycling compound and inhibits Tau protein aggregation. Moreover, it is effective in reducing cerebral edema, damping microglial activation, and alleviating neuroinflammation, demonstrating its multifaceted therapeutic potential [1] [2] [3].

HDAC-IN-62 (Compound 5), an HDAC inhibitor, exhibits IC50 values of 0.78, 1.0, and 1.2 μM for HDAC6, HDAC8, and HDAC11, respectively. This compound suppresses microglial activation via autophagy induction and reduces nitric oxide production, demonstrating anti-inflammatory and antidepressant properties. Additionally, HDAC-IN-62 has been shown to inhibit microglial activation in mouse brains [1].

γ-Fibrinogen377-395 TFA is an inhibitory peptide derived from fibrinogen, which also functions as a fibrinogen epitope. It effectively blocks microglial activation and impedes fibrin-Mac-1 interactions in vitro. Additionally, it exhibits in vivo efficacy by suppressing experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice. This compound has applications in researching multiple sclerosis (MS) and other neuroinflammatory diseases linked to blood-brain barrier disruption and microglial activation [1].

γ-Fibrinogen377-395 is a peptide derived from fibrinogen, functioning both as an inhibitory molecule and an epitope. It inhibits microglial activation, disrupts fibrin-Mac-1 interactions in vitro, and mitigates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in murine models in vivo. This compound is relevant for research into multiple sclerosis (MS) and other neuroinflammatory disorders characterized by blood-brain barrier compromise and microglial activation [1].

RI-OR2-TAT is a brain-penetrable inhibitor targeting β-amyloid (β-Amyloid) oligomerization. It is engineered by integrating the HIV protein transduction domain TAT into RI-OR2. RI-OR2-TAT binds to Aβ42 fibrils with a Kd value of 58-125 nM. It reduces Aβ aggregation and plaque levels, diminishes microglial activation and oxidative damage, and enhances the number of young neurons in the dentate gyrus.
