Rosiglitazone (BRL49653) is a PPARγ agonist, TRPC5 activator, and TRPM3 inhibitor with oral activity. Rosiglitazone is also a hypoglycemic agent and a thiazolidinedione insulin sensitizer.

Norharmane (β-Carboline) is a natural β-carboline first isolated from plants of the Zygophyllaceae family.

Mevastatin (ML236B) is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor that was initially isolated from the mold Pythium ultimum. Mevastatin was the first statin to enter clinical trials.

Rosiglitazone hydrochloride (BRL-49653 HCl) is a blood glucose-lowering drugs, stimulating insulin secretion by binding to the PPAR receptors in fat cells.

Sanggenol A inhibits influenza A viral and pneumococcal neuraminidase, hence functioning as a dual-acting anti-infective agent.

RPR104632 is a novel and potent antagonist located at the NMDA glycine site with neuroprotective activity.

KRP-199 sodium sodium is highly potent and selective for AMPA-R in vitro and exhibits good neuroprotection in vivo.

A2AR-agonist-1 (N-(2-(1H-Indol-3-yl)ethyl)adenosine) is a potent A2AR and ENT1 agonist (Ki: 4.39 and 3.47 for A2AR and ENT1. It targets the Adenosine A2A Receptor and Adenosine Transporter for Neuroprotection.

Bilobalide ((-)-Bilobalide), a bioactive from Gingko Biloba, is active on hypoxia-induced alterations.

Pramipexole (SND 919) is a selective dopamine receptor agonist used in the therapy of Parkinson disease. Pramipexole therapy is associated with a low rate of transient serum enzyme elevations during treatment but has not been implicated in cases of clinically apparent acute liver injury.

Pramipexole dihydrochloride hydrate (Mirapex) is the hydrochloride salt of pramipexole, a benzothiazole derivative. As a nonergot dopamine agonist, pramipexole binds to D2 and D3 dopamine receptors in the striatum and substantia nigra of the brain.

Notoginsenoside R1 (Sanchinoside R1) has been shown to exhibit antioxidant, antiapoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and immune-stimulatory properties.

Tramiprosate (Alzhemed) is an orally active, blood-brain-barrier-crossing, naturally occurring amino acid found in a variety of red seaweeds that binds soluble Aβ and maintains it in a non-protofibrillar form.It is a GABA analog with neuroprotective, anticonvulsant, and antihypertensive activity.

Ibuprofen (Advil) is a propionic acid derivate and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic effects. Ibuprofen inhibits the activity of cyclo-oxygenase I and II, resulting in a decreased formation of precursors of prostaglandins and thromboxanes.

2-hexyl-4-Pentynoic Acid, a valproic acid (VPA) derivatives, is a potent and robust HDACs inhibitor with IC50 value of 13 μM.

Azilsartan (TAK-536) is an Angiotensin 2 Receptor Blocker that acts as an Angiotensin 2 Type 1 Receptor Antagonist, leading to a physiologic effect of decreased blood pressure.

J-147 is an experimental drug with reported effects against both Alzheimer's disease and ageing in mouse models of accelerated aging. It is a curcumin derivative and a potent neurogenic and neuroprotective drug candidate initially developed for the treatment of neurodegenerative conditions associated with aging that impacts many pathways implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy.

DPQ is a potent inhibitor of PARP-1 that can be used in neuroprotection research. DPQ reduce the PARP activation induced by N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA), restoring ATP to near control levels as well as significantly attenuating neuronal injury in the severe NMDA exposure model [1].

DPN (Diarylpropionitrile) is an selective agonist of estrogen receptor β (ERβ) .

1. Orientin (Luteolin-8-glucoside) may be regarded as a candidate therapeutic agent for treatment of vascular inflammatory diseases via inhibition of the HMGB1 signaling pathway. 2. Orientin protects vascular barrier integrity by inhibiting hyperpermeability, expression of CAMs, and adhesion and migration of leukocytes, thereby endorsing its usefulness as a therapy for vascular inflammatory diseases. 3. Orientin has neuroprotection effect by the intracellular mediation of caspase activity; may alleviate cognitive deficits and oxidative stress in AD mice; can exert antidepressant-like effects on CUMS mice, specifically by improving central oxidative stress, neurotransmission, and neuroplasticity.

2'MeO6MF is a brain-penetrant positive allosteric modulator at α2β1γ2L and all α1-containing GABAA receptors. It offers neuroprotection, improves functional recovery, and dampens the stroke-induced inflammatory response. 2'MeO6MF also has anxiolytic and sedative effects.

SC-236 (Sc 236) is an orally active and selective inhibitor of COX-2 (IC50 of 0.005 μM and 17.8 μM for COX-2 and COX-1, respectively).

NFPS exerts neuroprotection via glyR alpha1 subunit in the rat model of transient focal cerebral ischaemia and reperfusion. NFPS is a selective and non-competitive glycine transporter-1 (GlyT1) inhibitor (IC50s: 2.8 nM and 9.8 nM for hGlyT1 and rGlyT1, respectively).

Octahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrrole has demonstrated promising applications in the fields of anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and neuroprotection. The unique structure-activity relationship of Octahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrrole offers fresh insights for the design of new drugs.
