PAWI-2 functions as both a p53 activator and a Wnt inhibitor. It suppresses β3-KRAS signaling independently of KRAS and selectively inhibits the phosphorylation of TBK1. Additionally, PAWI-2 triggers apoptosis (activation of caspase-3 7) and induces PARP cleavage. It facilitates the translocation of retinoblastoma protein into the nucleus, leading to G2 M cell cycle arrest. PAWI-2 reverses the cancer stem cell-like properties of KRAS-dependent human pancreatic cancer stem cells (hPCSC) and overcomes drug resistance. Moreover, it inhibits the growth of hPCSC tumors in an orthotopic xenograft mouse model.

Deltorphin II (0.12 mg/kg) decreases the infarction zone:risk zone ratio in a rat model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury induced by coronary occlusion, an effect that can be reversed by the δ2-opioid receptor antagonist naltriben but not the δ1-opioid receptor antagonist BNTX.3Intrathecal administration of deltorphin II (15 μg/animal) increases latency to withdraw in the paw pressure and tail-flick tests in rats.4 1.Raynor, K., Kong, H., Chen, Y., et al.Pharmacological characterization of the cloned κ-, δ-, and μ-opioid receptorsMol.

It causes eosinophil chemotaxis with an ED50 value of 1.5 μM but is not chemotactic for neutrophils. 8(S),15(S)-DiHETE antagonizes the hyperalgesic activity of 8(R),15(S)-DiHETE and LTB4 in the rat hind paw pain model.

Reduced haloperidol is an active metabolite of haloperidol . It is formed via reduction of haloperidol by ketone reductase. Reduced haloperidol inhibits radioligand binding to sigma-1 and dopamine D2 receptors (Kis = 1.4 and 31 nM, respectively) and stimulates brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) secretion from CCF-SSTG1 and U87MG astrocytic glial cells. It also inhibits norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin (5-HT) reuptake (Kis = 21, 25, and 33 μM, respectively, in COS-7 cells expressing the human transporters). Reduced haloperidol (0.5 mg/kg) increases latency to paw withdrawal in mouse models of capsaicin- but not force-induced mechanical hypersensitivity.

The group IVA phospholipase A2 (PLA2), known as calcium-dependent cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2), selectively releases arachidonic acid from membrane phospholipids, playing a central role in initiating the synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. AX 048 is a potent group IVA cPLA2 inhibitor that demonstrates 50% inhibition of the enzyme at a mole fraction (XI(50)) of 0.022. Pretreatment with AX 048 (ED50 = 1.2 mg/kg) dose-dependently reduces thermal hyperalgesia evoked by carrageenan injection of rat hind paw. At concentrations as high as 30 μM, AX 048 does not inhibit COX activity or interfere with central cannabinoid receptor signaling.
