S 18986 is a selective, orally active, brain-penetrant positive allosteric modulator of AMPA-type receptors that enhances cognition in rodents by inducing the release of noradrenaline and acetylcholine in the rat hippocampus, subsequently improving object-recognition memory.

Lesopitron is an anxiolytic with pre- and postsynaptic 5-HT1A agonist activity and is more effective than 5-HT1A agonists in rat social interaction and marmoset anxiety models. lesopitron counteracts benzodiazepine withdrawal-induced anxiety in rodents with low acute toxicity and does not potentiate the effects of alcohol or barbiturates.

Beclobrate (Sgd 24774) is a novel orally available fibric acid derivative that has shown significant lipid and cholesterol-lowering activity in rodents and may be used in the study of primary hyperlipoproteinemia.

Ensaculin (Anseculin), a novel benzopyrone partially substituted with piperazine, showed memory-enhancing effects in passive and conditioned avoidance paradigms in normal and artificially amnesic rodents. It showed neuroprotective activity in a model of NMDA toxicity and neurotrophic effects in primary cultured rat brain cells.Ensaculin can be used for the treatment of dementia.

CHET3 is a highly selective allosteric activator for TASK-3-containing K2P channels. CHET3 has shown potent in vivo analgesic effects in various acute and chronic pain models in rodents.

Citicoline sodium (CDP-choline) is an endogenous intermediate in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine. It also serves as a choline donor in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Citicoline sodium demonstrates protective effects in cerebral ischemia, traumatic brain injury, and memory disorders. Exogenous administration of citicoline to rodents (500 mg kg i.p. immediately after ischemia and at 3-h reperfusion) has been shown to stimulate the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin, and cardiolipin and to attenuate the release of arachidonic acid and the accumulation of ceramide.

Sucralose is a non-nutritive artificial sweetener and sugar substitute that stimulates appetite in rodents by activating a conserved neural fasting response.

Monocrotaline (Crotaline) is a pyrrolizidine alkaloid extracted from the seeds of the Crotalaria plant. Monocrotaline has certain cellular activity against HepG2 cells and can induce pulmonary hypertension in rodents.

Clonixin (Clonixic acid) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic properties. This compound has been reported to block prostaglandin synthesis, and to block inward calcium currents.

L-Cysteine hydrochloride (L-Cysteine HCl) is a conditionally essential amino acid,L-Cysteine hydrochloride suppresses ghrelin and reduces appetite in rodents and humans

L-Cysteine hydrochloride hydrate (L-Cysteine hydrochloride monohydrate) is a conditionally essential amino acid, which acts as a precursor for biologically active molecules such as hydrogen sulphide (H2S), taurine and glutathione. L-Cysteine hydrochloride hydrate suppresses ghrelin and reduces appetite in rodents and humans.

Vicagrel is an effective, orally active antiplatelet compound that enhances the inhibitory effect of aspirin on platelet aggregation and thrombosis in rodents by irreversibly inhibiting P2Y12 receptors and reducing metabolic inactivation. Viagrel can be used to treat blood clots in coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease and cerebrovascular disease.

Rupatadine (UR-12592, rupatadine) is a potent and orally available dual antagonist of PAF and histamine H1 receptors with Ki values of 0.55 μM and 0.1 μM, respectively, which provides relief of allergic symptoms and anti-inflammatory properties, and is used in allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria.

DAMGO (DAGO) is an opioid receptor agonist with the ability to affect the locomotive activity in rodents. Possible analgesic agent due to μ-opiod receptor interaction.

GW438014A is a potent, selective antagonist of the NPY-Y5 receptor, effectively inhibiting food consumption and curbing body weight gain in obese rodents.

PRX-07034 hydrochloride is a selective antagonist of 5-HT6 receptor. It has cognition and memory-enhancing properties and potently decreases food intake and body weight in rodents. PRX-07034 hydrochloride is both a potent (Ki = 4-8 nM) and highly selective 5-HT(6) receptor antagonist (≥100-fold selectivity for the 5-HT(6) receptor compared to 68 other GPCRs, ion channels, and transporters, except D(3) (Ki = 71 nM) and 5-HT(1B) (Ki = 260 nM) receptors.

ML254 competitively interacts with the MPEP allosteric binding site. ML254 is highly selective for mGlu5 versus other mGlu receptors, has a clean ancillary Ricerca profile, and suitable dystrophia myotonica protein kinase (DMPK) properties for systemic dosing in rodents.

VU0650786 is a selective and potent CNS-penetrant negative allosteric modulator of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 3 (mGlu3 NAM) (IC50: 392 nM), exhibiting antidepressant and anxiolytic activity in rodents.

YM-53601 free base is an inhibitor of squalene synthetase which suppresses lipogenic biosynthesis and lipid secretion in rodents.

Etifoxine preferentially acts on β2 or β3 subunit-containing GABAA receptors. GABAA receptor Etifoxine exhibits anxiolytic activity in rodents and humans with no sedative, myorelaxant or mnesic side effects. Etifoxine acts as a ligand of the translocator protein (TSPO); promotes axonal regeneration. Etifoxine(HOE 36-801) is potentiator of GABAA receptor function in cultured neurons.
