olfactory receptor

Sandalore prolongs human hair growth by decreasing apoptosis and increasing the production of the anagen-prolonging growth factor IGF-1 in the outer root sheath. Sandalore is a selective agonist of olfactory receptor OR2AT4.

Sandacanol(Sandranol) is a selective olfactory receptor (OR10H1) agonist. Sandacanol can induce cell cycle arrest and partial apoptosis in bladder cancer cells, and can reduce cell migration rate and proliferation rate.

Picaridin (Lcaridin) is a topical insect repellent.

Bourgeonal is an agonist of human testicular olfactory receptor hOR17-4. It increases cytosolic calcium levels in human spermatozoa, acts as a chemoattractant, and increases swimming speed in sperm chemotaxis assays in a concentration-dependent manner.

5-Cyclopropylpentanal, an olfactory receptor agonist, effectively enhances OR-I7 activation, demonstrating an EC50 value of 0.3 μM.

VUAA1, an insect odorant co-receptor (Orco) agonist, activates heteromeric and homomeric Orco-containing channels and can disrupt the behaviors of nuisance insects, thus serving as a tool for insect olfactory research [1] [2].

The compound 4A7C-301-Nurr1 agonist is a specific agonist for the nuclear receptor-related 1 (Nurr1). By binding to the Nurr1 ligand-binding domain with an IC50 value of 48.22 nM, it enhances the transcriptional activity of both Nurr1-LBD and the full-length Nurr1, as demonstrated in reporter assays using SK-N-BE(2)C human neuroblastoma cells, with EC50 values of 6.53 and 50-70 µM, respectively. Additionally, administration of 4A7C-301-Nurr1 agonist at a dosage of 5 mg/kg per day has been shown to mitigate dopaminergic cell death in the striatum and substantia nigra pars compacta and ameliorate motor and olfactory deficits in mouse models of Parkinson's disease, circumventing the induction of dyskinesia-like behaviors. These models were induced either by the neurotoxin MPTP or by overexpression of α-synuclein.
