CLP257 is a selective K+-Cl− cotransporter KCC2 activator (EC50: 616 nM) and it is inactive against NKCC1, GABAA receptors, KCC1, KCC3 or KCC4. CLP257 alleviates hypersensitivity in rats with neuropathic painc and it also modulates plasmalemmal KCC2 protein turnover post-translationally. CLP257 restores impaired Cl− transport in neurons with diminished KCC2 activity.

D18 is an immune modulator that acts as a dual agonist for TLR7 8 (with EC50 values of 24 nM for hTLR7 and 10 nM for hTLR8, respectively). It enhances the expression of PD-L1 through epigenetic regulation, thereby increasing the sensitivity of tumors to PD-1 PD-L1 blockade. Additionally, D18 functions as a cytotoxin for ADC synthesis, specifically for the ADC HE-S2 [1].

Tecalcet Hydrochloride (R-568 hydrochloride) is an allosteric and positive modulator of the calcium-sensing receptor(CaSR). Tecalcet Hydrochloride increases the sensitivity to the activation of extracellular Ca2+.

P32/98 hemifumarate is a dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP4) inhibitor with hypoglycemic properties that improves insulin sensitivity and β-cell responsiveness in the Zucker diabetic rat model, and may be useful in studies of type 2 diabetes and colitis.

MEDICA16 is a selective agonist for GPR40 as well as a partial agonist for GPR120. MEDICA16, an ATP-citrate lyase inhibitor, significantly reduces intracellular TG content in gastrocnemius muscle with an increase in insulin sensitivity.

Phenytoin (5,5-Diphenylhydantoin) is a hydantoin derivative and a non-sedative antiepileptic agent with anticonvulsant activity. It potentially acts by promoting sodium efflux from neurons in the motor cortex, reducing post-tetanic potentiation at synapses. This prevents cortical seizure foci from spreading to adjacent areas and stabilizes the threshold against hyperexcitability. Additionally, it appears to reduce muscle spindle sensitivity to stretch, causing muscle relaxation.

N,N'-Diacetyl-L-cystine (DiNAC) is the disulphide dimer of N-acetylcysteine with immunomodulating properties. N,N'-diacetyl-L-cystine also has antiatherosclerotic effects in Watanabe-heritable hyperlipidemic rabbit (WHHL) rabbits. N,N'-diacetyl-L-cystine is also an effective and orally active modulator of contact sensitivity delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions in rodents.

Obeticholic Acid (6-ECDCA, INT-747) is a high-affinity, semisynthetic, bile acid-derived FXR agonist with an EC50 of 99 nM and is able to upregulate IκB-α, KLF-2, and KLF-4 expression. Obeticholic Acid (6-ECDCA, INT-747) also shows potential for treating hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis while increasing insulin sensitivity.

Buformin hydrochloride (NSC-528218) is a potent AMPK activator,an oral antidiabetic drug of the biguanide class. Buformin delays the absorption of glucose from the gastrointestinal tract increases insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake into cells and inhibits synthesis of glucose by the liver. Biguanides may antagonize the action of glucagon, thus reducing fasting glucose levels.

Kaolin (Bolus alba) is a clay dominated by minerals of the kaolinite family. Kaolin increased the sensitivity of this method for monitoring hemophilia therapy.

Cinacalcet hydrochloride (AMG-073 hydrochloride) is a naphthalene derivative and calcimimetic agent that enhances the sensitivity of parathyroid gland calcium-sensing receptors to serum calcium, thereby reducing parathyroid hormone secretion and decreasing serum calcium in the treatment of parathyroid diseases.

Levosimendan (OR1259) is a calcium sensitizer used in the management of acutely decompensated congestive heart failure. It increases the sensitivity of the heart to calcium, thus increasing cardiac contractility without a rise in intracellular calcium. Levosimendan exerts its effect by increasing calcium sensitivity of myocytes by binding to cardiac troponin C in a calcium-dependent manner.

SBC-115076 is a potent extracellular proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) antagonist.

D(+)-Galactosamine hydrochloride is a well-established experimental toxin that induces liver injury primarily by generating free radicals and depleting UTP nucleotides, and it can be used to establish lipopolysaccharide D-Galactosamine-induced hepatitis or acute liver injury models.

N-Nitrosomorpholine is a light-sensitive nitrosamine with strong carcinogenicity in animals and is commonly used to induce liver cancer models.

Oxfenicine (4-Hydroxy-L-phenylglycine) is a carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 inhibitor. Oxfenicine improves whole-body glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in high-fat diet-induced obese mouse with insulin resistance.

DEPC (Diethyl pyrocarbonate) is a potent and irreversible RNase inhibitor containing histidine residues.DEPC can be used to prevent RNA enzyme degradation by modifying histidine residues with carboxylation resulting in enzyme inactivation. DEPC showed inhibitory effect on the central chemical sensitivity of rabbits. DEPC modified His, Tyr, Ser and Thr residues.

N-Methylacetamide reduces the sensitivity of erythroleukemia cells to benzoic acid and can be used in related research in the field of life sciences.

Arvanil (N-Vanillylarachidonamide) is a synthetic capsaicin-amphetamine hybrid and a ligand for vanilloid receptor 1 (VR1) and cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1), exhibiting neuroprotective activity, inhibiting spasm, and enhancing cisplatin chemotherapy sensitivity by inducing ferroptosis in HCC cells in vivo. It induces ferroptosis in liver cancer cells via binding to MICU1.

CLT-28643 is a potent and specific α5β1-Integrin inhibitor that prevents fibrosis in glaucoma filtration surgery (GFS), inhibits tumor growth and angiogenesis, suppresses fibrosis and inflammation in a bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis model, and improves insulin sensitivity and cardiac function in H9C2 cells from obese mice.

11-cis Retinal is a chromophore that binds to opsin in the mammalian visual system as an inverse agonist forming the inactive conformation of rhodopsin. When 11-cis retinal absorbs a photon of light, it isomerizes to form all-trans retinal beginning the phototransduction cycle, which is the basis for mammalian vision. A G121L mutation in opsin allows 11-cis retinal to bind as a partial agonist and activate rhodopsin in the absence of light. In a moth model of carotenoid deficiency-induced low visual sensitivity, 11-cis retinal application to compound eyes restored visual sensitivity almost completely.
