receptor

Dexamethasone (Hexadecadrol) is a glucocorticoid receptor agonist and IL receptor modulator with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties that induces autophagy and inhibits LPS-induced inflammatory responses in macrophages.

Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a member of the phorbol ester group of natural products, activates PKC, SphK, and NF-κB, and induces THP1 cell differentiation.

In the CNS, Kainic acid is an effective agonist at excitatory amino acid receptor subtypes.

Angiotensin II human (Ang II) is a biologically active peptide, a vasoconstrictor. Angiotensin II interacts with AT1R and AT2R to regulate blood pressure, stimulate sympathetic nerves, and increase aldosterone biosynthesis and renal activity in humans.

Ceruletide is a decapeptide that is a safe and effective cholecystokinin and cholecystokinin receptor agonist with direct spasmodic effects on the gallbladder muscle and bile duct.[1]

Semaxinib (SU5416) is a potent and selective VEGFR2 inhibitor (IC50: 1.23 μM), exhibiting a 20-fold greater selectivity for VEGFR2 over PDGFRβ, with no activity against InsR, EGFR, and FGFR. Semaxinib reversibly inhibits ATP binding to the tyrosine kinase domain of VEGFR2, potentially inhibiting VEGF-stimulated endothelial cell migration and proliferation, thereby reducing tumor microvasculature.

PLX5622 is a highly selective, brain-penetrant, and orally active CSF1R inhibitor.

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a naturally occurring hormone involved in various physiological processes, such as smooth muscle contraction and relaxation, vasodilation and constriction, blood pressure regulation, and inflammatory regulation.

MPTP hydrochloride is a precursor of MPP+, a dopamine neurotoxin with blood-brain barrier permeability. MPTP hydrochloride is toxic to dopaminergic neurons, which can lead to Parkinson's disease, and is widely used in the construction of animal models of Parkinson's disease.

Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a colorless amine oxide produced from choline, betaine, and carnitine via intestinal microbial metabolism that accumulates in tissues of marine animals and prevents the protein-damaging effects of urea.Trimethylamine N-oxide induces inflammation through activation of ROS NLRP3 inflammasomes, which can induce fibroblast differentiation and cardiac fibrosis.

Tamoxifen (ICI47699) is a selective and orally effective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). Tamoxifen has both inhibitory (e.g., mammary cells) and activating (e.g., bone, liver, and uterine cells) activity against estrogens.

Imiquimod (R 837) is an immune response modifier that acts as a toll-like receptor 7 agonist.

Sodium taurocholate (Taurocholate Sodium) hydrate is the main end product of cholesterol catabolism. During enterohepatic circulation, bile taurocholic acid is converted by the microorganisms to taurodeoxycholic acid and deoxycholic acid.[3] These are reabsorbed by the liver via a carrier-mediated process and converted by liver enzymes to taurocholic acid.

Norepinephrine (Levophed) can stimulate apoptosis in adult rat ventricular myocytes by activation of the β-adrenergic pathway. It can up-regulate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, and MMP-9 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tumour cells.

Haloperidol (Serenace) is a highly potent neuroleptic by relieving nervous through the depression of nerve function. In addition, haloperidol has shown about 50-fold efficacy than chlorpromazine, another antipsychotic drug. Haloperidol has some potencies in the treatment of delusions and hallucinations. Its effects are primarily attained through blocking dopamine receptors in the mesocortex and limbic system.

Resiquimod (R848) is a Toll-like receptor 7 8 (TLR7 TLR8) agonist that induces cytokine upregulation. Resiquimod is an immunomodulator with antitumor and antiviral activity.

Liothyronine (Tresitope) is an active form of thyroid hormone, binding to β1 thyroid hormone receptor (TRβ1), and activates its activity.

L-DOPA (Levodopa) is an amino acid precursor of dopamine with antiparkinsonian properties. It is a prodrug converted to dopamine by DOPA decarboxylase and can cross the blood-brain barrier. In the brain, levodopa is decarboxylated to dopamine, stimulating dopaminergic receptors and compensating for depleted endogenous dopamine in Parkinson's disease. To ensure adequate concentrations reach the central nervous system, levodopa is administered with carbidopa, a decarboxylase inhibitor that does not cross the blood-brain barrier, reducing peripheral decarboxylation and increasing CNS dopamine delivery.

Amiodarone hydrochloride (Amiodarone HCl) is an antianginal and class III antiarrhythmic drug. It increases the duration of ventricular and atrial muscle action by inhibiting POTASSIUM CHANNELS and VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS. There is a resulting decrease in heart rate and in vascular resistance.

Oxybutynin (Ditropan) is a synthetic anticholinergic agent that is used for treatment of urinary incontinence and overactive bladder syndrome.

Yohimbine hydrochloride (Antagonil) is a plant alkaloid with alpha-2-adrenergic blocking activity. Yohimbine has been used as a mydriatic and in the treatment of ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION.

Histamine (Ergamine) is an amine derived by enzymatic decarboxylation of HISTIDINE. It is a powerful stimulant of gastric secretion, a constrictor of bronchial smooth muscle, a vasodilator, and also a centrally acting neurotransmitter.

Urethane (Ethylurethane) was an antineoplastic agent .Now is used for other medicinal purposes.

Inosine (NSC-20262) is a purine nucleoside that has hypoxanthine linked by the N9 nitrogen to the C1 carbon of ribose. It has immunomodulatory, neuroprotective, and analgesic properties.
