nic

NIC is an inhibitor of host invasion. It is also an inhibitor of VEGF binding to immobilized heparin.

NIC-0102 is an orally active proteasome inhibitor (pIC50: 7.55) that specifically inhibits NLRP3 inflammatory vesicle activation.

PA Nic is a coumarin-caged nicotine. Releases nicotine when exposed to 390 ± 10 nm wavelength light (λmax = 404 nm). Suitable for two-photon uncaging at <900 nm (Maximum two-photon cross-section at 810 nm). Extinction coefficient (ε) 17,400 M-1cm-1. Evokes nicotinic currents in mouse brain slices under one and two-photon activation conditions.

Nic-15 (compound 4n) serves as an anti-constrictive agent targeting the low vascular characteristics of pancreatic tumors. These characteristics enable cancer cells to adapt to the nutrient-deficient tumor microenvironment and develop resistance to treatment. Nic-15 modulates the PI3K Akt mTOR pathway and alleviates ER stress induced by Gemcitabine. It significantly inhibits migration and colony formation in MIA PaCa-2 and PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cells. When used in combination with Gemcitabine, Nic-15 effectively addresses resistance issues in pancreatic tumors. In xenograft models in vivo, Nic-15 notably enhances the efficacy of Gemcitabine.

NIC-12, a potent NLRP3 inhibitor, selectively reduces circulating IL-1ß levels in the LPS-endotoxemia mice model and inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation in mouse macrophages [1].

Tunicamycin is a mixture of antibiotics that inhibit N-linked glycosylation by blocking GlcNAc phosphotransferase (GPT). Tunicamycin has antitumor activity, as well as anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral activity.

UDP-glucuronic acid trisodium (UDP-glucuronic acid trisodium) is an indispensable precursor for vital glycoconjugates in various biological domains. These glycoconjugates encompass mammalian glycosaminoglycans, plant cell wall polysaccharides, and bacterial capsule glycoglycerolipids.

Niclosamide (Niclocide)(BAY2353) is used to treat most tapeworm infections by inhibiting DNA replication.

In the CNS, Kainic acid is an effective agonist at excitatory amino acid receptor subtypes.

Penicillamine (Artamine), possessing antineoplastic properties, induces apoptosis by a p53-mediated mechanism and inhibits angiogenesis by chelating with copper, a cofactor for angiogenesis. Artamine is a beta dimethyl analog of the amino acid cysteine. As a degradation product of penicillin antibiotics, Artamine chelates with heavy metals and increases their urinary excretion.

(Z)-Metanicotine 2HCl has analgesic activity and is used in the treatment of central system disorders.

Sapienic acid sodium is a fatty acid with variable antimicrobial activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria found on the skin and in the oral cavity.

Lanicemine dihydrochloride (AZD-6765 dihydrochloride) is a low-capture NMDA channel blocker with antidepressant activity and can be used to study neurological diseases.

Hepronicate(Megrin) is a small molecule compound with hypolipidemic and vasodilatory activity.

cis-Urocanic acid ((E)-Urocanic acid) is a 5-HT2A receptor agonist (Kd: 4.6 nM). It is an immune modulator that induces immunosuppression by binding to the 5-HT2A receptor.

γ-Acetylenic GABA hydrochloride is a GABA transaminase inhibitor.

Artelinic acid is a water-soluble artemisinin analog with antimalarial activity and is used for the treatment of multi-drug resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum.

Nicanartine is a cholesterol inhibitor that is used to treat cardiovascular disease and can be used to study atherosclerosis.

Rivanicline 2HCl is a selective neuronal nicotinic receptor inhibitor with a high affinity for the α4β2 subtype.

7-Chlorokynurenic acid (7-chloro-4-hydroxy-2-carboxyquinoline) is an effecitve and selective antagonist of NMDA receptor with IC50 of 0.56 μM for the glycine B coagonist site. 7-Chlorokynurenic acid inhibits the reuptake of glutamate into synaptic vesicles with a Ki of 0.59 μM and shows antinociceptive actions after neuraxial delivery.

Ispronicline (TC-1734) An orally active, selective, and potent α4β2 nAChR partial agonist with antidepressant, neuroprotective, and long-lasting cognitive effects.Ispronicline has a high affinity for the α4β2 nAChR with a Ki= 11 nM.

Simpinicline (OC-02) (OC-02) is a highly selective nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist that activates the trigeminal parasympathetic pathway and can be used to treat dry eye.

6-Hydroxynicotinic acid (6-Hydroxypyridine-3-carboxylic acid) is exploited in the use of NMR spectroscopy or gas chromatography--mass spectrometry for the diagnosis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in urinary tract infection. Among the common bacteria causing urinary infection, only P. aeruginosa produces 6-hydroxynicotinic acid from nicotinic acid.

Minodronic acid monohydrate is an farnesyl diphosphate synthase inhibitor that acts as a bone resorption inhibitor.
