This compound has utility in investigating central nervous system (CNS) injuries, encompassing axonal regeneration and functional recuperation following a stroke [1].

TAT-NEP1-40 acetate, a potential therapeutic for axonal regeneration and functional recovery post-stroke, safeguards PC12 cells from oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) and encourages neurite outgrowth. This compound also affords cerebral protection against ischemia/reperfusion injury by hindering neuronal apoptosis and can be effectively administered into rat brains [1] [2].

Tianeptine metabolite MC5, an active derivative of the atypical antidepressant tianeptine produced through β-oxidation, exhibits selective G protein activation in bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) assays. Utilizing HEK293T cells expressing the human μ-opioid receptor (MOR) over the human δ-opioid receptor (DOR; EC50s = 0.454 and >100 µM, respectively), it demonstrates specificity. Moreover, this metabolite reduces immobility in wild-type mice during the forced swim test at a dose of 30 mg/kg, an effect not observed in MOR knockout mice, suggesting its antidepressant-like activity is MOR-dependent.

Levocarnitine propionate (L-Propionylcarnitine) is a propionyl-coenzyme A (Pro-CoA) derivative with anti-ischemic effects and high affinity for muscle L-carnitine transferase. Levocarnitine propionate enhances substrate oxidation and mitochondrial respiration in the heart of diabetic rats, reduces gastric ulcer area, induces mucosal recovery, and can be used to study acute respiratory distress syndrome and chronic gastric ulcers in Alzheimer's disease.

SN50 is a cell permeable NF-κB translocation inhibitor.

H-Arg-4MβNA (H-Arg-4MbNA) is a peptide that serves as a substrate for cathepsin H. The enzyme activity is often detected in gel electrophoresis.

Bradykinin (acetate) is an active peptide that is generated by the kallikrein-kinin system. It is a inflammatory mediator and also recognized as a neuromediator and regulator of several vascular and renal functions. Enzymatically produced from kallidin in the blood, it is a powerful vasodilator that causes smooth muscle contraction, and may mediate inflammation. It has a role as a human blood serum metabolite and a vasodilator agent. It is a tautomer of a bradykinin(2+).

Ezatiostat hydrochloride (TLK199 HCl) is an effective inhibitor of glutathione S-transferase. Ezatiostat hydrochloride is a novel glutathione analog and the potential treatment of cytopenias. In addition, Ezatiostat hydrochloride has been revealed to selectively bind to and thus inhibit GSTP1-1.

Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP) (6-27) is a PACAP receptor antagonist with IC50 values of 1,500, 600, and 300 nM, respectively, for rat PAC1, rat VPAC1, and human VPAC2 recombinant receptors expressed in CHO cells. It binds to PACAP receptors on SH-SY5Y and SK-N-MC human neuroblastoma and T47D human breast cancer cells (IC50s = 24.5, 106, and 105 nM, respectively) and inhibits cAMP accumulation induced by PACAP (1-38) (Kis = 457, 102, and 283 nM, respectively, in SH-SY5Y, SK-N-MC, and T47D cells).
