A2B receptor antagonist 2 is an antagonist of adenosine receptor A2B (Ki = 2.30 μM for rA1, 6.8 μM for rA2A, 3.44 μM for hA2B).

Dexamethasone is a glucocorticoid receptor agonist and IL receptor modulator with anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and apoptosis-inducing activities. It inhibits the production of inflammatory miRNA-155 exosomes in macrophages, significantly reduces inflammatory cytokine expression in neutrophils and monocytes, suppresses LPS-induced macrophage inflammation, and induces autophagy. It is commonly used to induce animal models of depression, muscle atrophy, and hypertension, and holds potential in COVID-19 research.

Prazosin hydrochloride (Vasoflex) reduces peripheral resistance and relaxes vascular smooth muscles as a selective adrenergic alpha-1 antagonist by a mechanism not completely known. Prazosin hydrochloride is a synthetic piperazine derivative with hypotensive antiadrenergic properties, It is used in the treatment of heart failure, hypertension, pheochromocytoma, Raynaud's syndrome, prostatic hypertrophy, and urinary retention.

Fesoterodine fumarate (Toviaz) is the fumarate salt form of fesoterodine, a competitive muscarinic receptor antagonist with muscle relaxant and urinary antispasmodic properties. Fesoterodine is rapidly hydrolyzed in vivo into its active metabolite 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine, which binds and inhibits muscarinic receptors on the bladder detrusor muscle, thereby preventing bladder contractions or spasms caused by acetylcholine.

β-Carotene (Provitamin A) is a naturally-occurring retinol (vitamin A) precursor obtained from certain fruits and vegetables with potential antineoplastic and chemopreventive activities. As an anti-oxidant, beta carotene inhibits free-radical damage to DNA.

Desfesoterodine (5-HMT) is a new muscarinic receptor antagonist with Kb of 0.84 nM.

Dimaprit dihydrochloride, a selective histamine H2 receptor agonist, inhibits nNOS with an IC50 of 49 μM and can stimulate gastric acid secretion.

Lafutidine (FRG-8813) is a newly developed histamine H2-receptor antagonist that inhibits gastric acid secretion.

AMG 487 is a potent and selective antagonist of chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 3 (CXCR3) which inhibits the binding of CXCL10 and CXCL11 to CXCR3 with IC50s of 8.0 and 8.2 nM, respectively.

AZD-8529 mesylate is a highly selective, and orally bioavailable positive allosteric modulator of mGluR2 (EC50: 285 nM). It shows no positive allosteric modulator responses at 20-25 M on the mGluR1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 subtypes.

CUDA is an effective soluble cyclohydrolase inhibitor with IC50 of 11.1 nM and 112 nM for mouse sEH and human sEH, respectively. CUDA selectively increases the activity of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) alpha. CUDA may be valuable for the study of cardiovascular diseases.

L-745870 hydrochloride has excellent brain penetration. L-745870 hydrochloride is a high-affinity, selective and orally active human dopamine D4 receptor antagonist with a Ki of 0.43 nM, and considerably weaker D2 receptor affinity with a Ki of 960 nM and D3 receptor affinity with a Ki of 2300 nM.
