NIC3 is a selective nucleus accumbens-associated protein-1 (NAC1) inhibitor with anti-cancer activity.

Nicandrenone (Nic-1) (Compound 11) is a withanolide identified in Physalis hispida.

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

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.

PA-Nic TFA is a photoreactive nicotine compound that releases nicotine efficiently when subjected to photolysis by a laser at approximately 405 nm.

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

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].

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.

Niclosamide is a classic salicylanilide antiparasitic drug and a multi-target, low-toxicity, broad-spectrum small-molecule modulator with anthelmintic and antitumor activity. Niclosamide disrupts the parasite’s energy metabolism by uncoupling mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, leading to reduced ATP production and ultimately killing the parasite. Niclosamide is a STAT3 inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.25 μM in HeLa cells.

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.

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.

Kainic acid is an excitatory amino acid receptor agonist (EC50=16.2 μM). Kainic acid is an effective excitatory toxic agent. Kainic acid induces epileptic seizures.

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.

Polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (Poly(I:C)) is a synthetic double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) analog and an agonist of TLR3 as well as retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) and melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5). It can induce innate immune responses in mammals and serve as a vaccine adjuvant to enhance both innate and adaptive immunity, while modulating the tumor microenvironment and directly inducing apoptosis in cancer cells. Poly(I:C) is commonly used to establish acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) animal models for studying immune responses and disease mechanisms.

Punicalagin is a major ellagitannin found in pomegranates that is reported to produce antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer effects. It has been shown to prevent high-fat diet-induced obesity-associated accumulation of cardiac triglyceride and ch

Punicalin exerts anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and anti-hepatotoxic activities, it shows inhibitory activity on HIV-1 reverse transcriptase in a dose-dependent manner, with an IC50 of 0.11 microg/ml (0.14 microM).

Perfluorodecanesulfonic Acid (PFDS) is a perfluoroalkyl substance that can be found in S. namaycush.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
