prostaglandin-signaling

ML-148 is a selective inhibitor of 15-hydroxy prostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH, IC50 = 56 nM). ML-148 can be used to profile across a panel of related dehydrogenase or reductase enzymes and in studies about prostaglandin-signaling pathways.

PGD2-IN-1 (PGD2-inhibitor) is an effective DP receptor antagonist (IC50:0.3 nM), a compound that can inhibit prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) signaling. PGD2-IN-1 specifically targets and regulates the activity of PGD2 receptors or enzymes involved IN PGD2 synthesis or metabolism.

DBMB is a spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) inhibitor that significantly suppresses Syk enzyme activity. It possesses anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting NF-κB signaling, thereby reducing the production of inflammatory mediators such as nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). DBMB can be utilized in research on inflammatory diseases.

SC 19220 is a prostaglandin E2 receptor EP1 antagonist.SC 19220 inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis by inhibiting the RANK/RANKL signaling pathway in osteoclast precursors.

Butaprost is a chemical compound that functions as a selective agonist for the prostaglandin E receptor (EP2). It exhibits an EC50 of 33 nM and a Ki of 2.4 μM when interacting with the murine EP2 receptor. However, Butaprost demonstrates lower activity against murine EP1, EP3, and EP4 receptors. Furthermore, it effectively attenuates fibrosis by inhibiting the TGF-β/Smad2 signaling pathway [1] [2] [3].

Ono 1301 is a prostaglandin I2 mimetic coumpound with inhibitory activity against thromboxane A2 synthase. Ono 1301 suppresses pancreatic fibrosis in the DBTC-induced CP model by inhibiting monocyte activity not only with induction of HGF but also by Ono

Beta-Sitosterol (SKF 14463) has recently been shown to induce G2/M arrest, endoreduplication, and apoptosis through the Bcl-2 and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways. Beta-Sitosterol (SKF 14463) , a main dietary phytosterol found in plants, may have the potential for prevention and therapy for human cancer. Although the exact mechanism of action of Beta-Sitosterol (SKF 14463) is unknown, it may be related to cholesterol metabolism or anti-inflammatory effects (via interference with prostaglandin metabolism). Beta-Sitosterol (SKF 14463) induces apoptosis and activates key caspases in MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells.

AM404 is an endocannabinoid reuptake inhibitor, a TRPV(1) activator, a paracetamol metabolite, with neuroprotective and anticancer activity that blocks anandamide transport. AM404 inhibits NFAT and NF-kappaB signaling pathways and impairs migration and invasiveness of neuroblastoma cells, preventing prostaglandin synthesis in activated microglia by inhibiting COX activity.

15-Deoxy-Δ12,14-Prostaglandin A1, a deoxyanalog of prostaglandins, inhibits NF-κB signaling and induces apoptosis. It also prevents TNF-α-induced upregulation of inflammatory endothelial cell adhesion molecules (CAM) and reduces monocyte arrest [1].

15(R)-Prostaglandin D2 functions as a DP(2) receptor (Prostaglandin Receptor) agonist with potential roles in prostatic hormone signaling and exhibits anti-inflammatory properties. It enhances actin polymerization in human eosinophils and elevates cAMP levels in platelets [1].

AKR1C3-IN-14 (compound 4) is an inhibitor of AKR1C3 enzyme, exhibiting an IC50 value of 0.122 μM. It reduces excess androgen production by inhibiting the activity of the AKR1C3 enzyme, thereby regulating hormone-mediated signaling. Additionally, AKR1C3-IN-14 plays a role in the biosynthesis of prostaglandin PGF2α, influencing this pathway to regulate cell proliferation. This compound is utilized in the research of prostate cancer.
