5,7-Dichlorokynurenic acid (5,7-dichlorokynurenic acid sodium) is an NMDA receptor antagonist.

TREK inhibitor-3 (Cpd8l) is a selective inhibitor of TREK-1 that can cross the blood-brain barrier, with an IC50 of 0.81 μM. It offers neuroprotective effects by significantly reducing cortical neuron death induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) and alleviating brain injury in middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) model mice. TREK inhibitor-3 is utilized in ischemic stroke research.

Rasagiline-13C3is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of rasagiline by GC- or LC-MS. Rasagiline is an inhibitor of monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B; IC50= 4.43 nM for the rat brain enzyme).1It is selective for MAO-B over MAO-A (IC50= 412 nM for the rat brain enzyme). It inhibits serum and NGF withdrawal-induced apoptosis of PC12 cells when used at concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 100 μM.2Rasagiline inhibits rat brain MAO-Bin vivo(ED50= 0.1 mg/kg).1It reduces cerebral edema in a mouse model of traumatic brain injury.2Rasagiline (0.1 mg/kg) reduces cortical and hippocampal levels of full-length and soluble amyloid precursor protein (APP) in rats and mice. It also reduces α-synuclein-induced substantia nigral neuron loss and improves motor dysfunction in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease.3Formulations containing rasagiline have been used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. 1.Youdim, M.B.H., Gross, A., and Finberg, J.P.Rasagiline [N-propargyl-1R(+)-aminoindan], a selective and potent inhibitor of mitochondrial monoamine oxidase BBrit.

3'-Methoxypuerarin shows neuron protection activity, it can protect hippocampal neurons against ischemia/reperfusion injury by inhibiting apoptosis. 3'-Methoxypuerarin(3'- Methoxy Puerarin) has antioxidant activities, it shows ONOO(-) scavenging activity and weak NO· and O(2)(-) scavenging activities.
