Diammonium Glycyrrhizinate (Glycyrrhizin) , an extensively used anti-inflammatory agent, is isolated from the licorice root. It is metabolized to glycyrrhetinic acid, which inhibits 11-β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and other enzymes involved in the metabolism of corticosteroids. Therefore, glycyrrhizic acid, the main and sweet component of licorice, has been studied for its ability to cause hypermineralocorticoidism with potassium loss and sodium retention, edema, increased blood pressure, as well as inhibited the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

Nadolol-d9 (Mixture of Diastereomers) is a deuterated compound of Nadolol. Nadolol has a CAS number of 42200-33-9. Nadolol is a non-selective beta-adrenergic antagonist with antihypertensive and antiarrhythmic activities. Nadolol competitively blocks beta-1 adrenergic receptors located in the heart and vascular smooth muscle, inhibiting the activities of the catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine and producing negative inotropic and chronotropic effects. This agent exhibits antiarrhythmic activity via the impairment of atrioventricular (AV) node conduction and a corresponding reduction in sinus rate. In the kidney, inhibition of the beta-2 receptor within the juxtaglomerular apparatus results in the inhibition of renin production and a subsequent reduction in angiotensin II and aldosterone levels, thus inhibiting angiotensin II-dependent vasoconstriction and aldosterone-dependent water retention.

Hydroxy bosentan (Ro 48-5033) is a primary metabolite of Bosentan (BOS) metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system in the liver, assisting BOS pharmacologically with 10%-20% activity retention.

PK14105 has been evaluated biologically as a potential radioligand for positron emission tomography (PET) studies targeting peripheral benzodiazepine binding sites (PBBS) receptors. When administered to rats with unilaterally lesioned striata, PK14105 was observed to quickly cross the blood-brain barrier, displaying significant radioactivity retention in the lesioned striatum, in contrast to the unlesioned striatum or cerebellar vermis. Additionally, PK14105 has the capability to inhibit receptor ligands, calcium channel ligands, and co-transporters in all salivary glands.

9(S)-HETE is an enantiomer which makes up 50% of (±)9-HETE . There are no reports of 9(S)-HETE occurring as an enzymatic lipoxygenation product. Whereas 12(S)-HETE promotes adhesion of several cell lines to endothelial cell monolayes, 9(S)-HETE and other positional HETEs are without effect. Stereochemical assignment of the (S) enantiomer is based on comparison of chiral HPLC retention times to published results.

(-)-L-threo-PDMP is an enhancer of ganglioside biosynthesis. The (-)-L-threo-PDMP (1S,2S) isomer is the active stimulatory component of DL-threo-PDMP in contrast to (+)-D-threo-PDMP , which is an inhibitor of glucosylceramide synthetase. (-)-L-threo-PDMP upregulates GM3, GD3, and GQ1b synthase levels, which are glycosyltransferases involved in ganglioside biosynthesis, and increases ganglioside levels in cells. It increases neurite outgrowth and synapse formation in vitro and improves retention of a long-term memory learned prior to forebrain ischemia in rats when administered following ischemia at a dose of 40 mg/kg per day.

Sekdel sequence, as a signal, leads to retention of at least two proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum of animal cells.

JAS239 is a novel carbocyanine dye that binds and competitively inhibits choline kinase (ChoK) intracellularly. JAS239 attenuated choline phosphorylation and viability in a panel of human breast cancer cell lines. Antibody blockade prevented cellular retention of JAS239 indicating direct interaction with ChoKα independent of the choline transporters and catabolic choline pathways. In mice bearing orthotopic MCF7 breast xenografts, optical imaging with JAS239 distinguished tumors overexpressing ChoKα from their empty vector counterparts and delineated tumor margins.

Etrolizumab (rhuMAb Beta7) is a humanized intestinal-selective anti-β7 integrin monoclonal antibody that selectively blocks the transport and retention of lymphocytes in the intestinal tract for the study of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Fludrocortisone acetate (9α-Fludrocortisone acetate), a glucocorticoid-receptor agonist, binds to cytoplasmic receptors, translocates to the nucleus, and initiates transcription of glucocorticoid-responsive genes like lipocortins to inhibit phospholipase A2 (PLA2). As the acetate salt of a synthetic fluorinated corticosteroid, it exhibits anti-inflammatory and antiallergic activities. PLA2 inhibition prevents arachidonic acid release, a precursor of eicosanoids such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes, which are key mediators in the pro-inflammatory response. As a mineralocorticoid-receptor agonist, it stimulates Na+ reabsorption, water retention, and K+ and H+ secretion in the distal tubules and collecting ducts of the kidney.

Stereochemical assignment of the (R) enantiomer is based on comparison of chiral HPLC retention times to published results.
