ob-2

OB-2 is an inhibitor of stomatin-like protein-3 (STOML3) oligomerization. OB-2 reversibly reduces the sensitivity of mechanically gated currents in sensory neurons and silence mechanoreceptors in vivo.

OB-24 free base is a potent and selective heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) inhibitor.

OB 24 hydrochloride is a potent and selective heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) inhibitor (IC50 values are 1.9 and >100 μM for HO-1 and HO-2 respectively), reduces protein carbonylation and reactive oxygen species formation in advanced prostate cancer cells (PCA). Inhibits cell proliferationin vitroand PCA tumor growth and lymph node/lung metastasesin vivo. Synergizes with Taxol.

Phanginin A, a natural product discovered in Caesalpinia sappan Linn, activates SIK1 and inhibits gluconeogenesis in mouse primary hepatocytes. Phanginin A increases PDE4 activity and suppresses the hepatic cAMP/PKA/CREB pathway, improving metabolic disorders in ob/ob mice. It may be used in studies of type 2 diabetes.

Fatostatin hydrobromide (Fatostatin A HBr) ia an inhibitor of sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP). It impairs the activation of SREBP-1 and SREBP-2.

INU-101 is an 11β-HSD1 inhibitor. In KKAy mice, ob ob mice, and ZDF rats, oral administration of INU-101 led to enhanced insulin sensitivity and the lowering of the fasting level of glucose in the blood. INU-101 therefore shows promise as a potential treatment for type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Fatostatin is a specific inhibitor of SREBP activation, it impairs the activation of SREBP-1 and SREBP-2. Fatostatin binds to SCAP (SREBP cleavage-activating protein), and inhibits the ER-Golgi translocation of SREBPs.
