Cholesterol is the primary sterol in mammals, accounting for approximately 20–25% of the plasma membrane structure. It plays a key role in regulating membrane fluidity, permeability, and protein function. As an endogenous agonist of estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα), cholesterol is widely involved in metabolic regulation and serves as a precursor for the synthesis of hormones and bile acids. It is commonly used in experimental models of hyperlipidemia.

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.

(-)-Dizocilpine maleate ((-)-MK 801 (Maleate)) is a potent, selective, and non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist, with a Kd of 37.2 nM in rat brain membranes.

Trimipramine maleate (Surmontil maleate) appears to inhibit serotonin transport and norepinephrine uptake by nerve terminals. This increases available norepinephrine or serotonin and prolongs its action. Trimipramine Maleate is the maleate salt form of trimipramine, a tricyclic secondary amine of the dibenzazepine class, with an antidepressant property.

Chelidamic acid is a heterocyclic organic acid with a pyran skeleton and acts as an inhibitor of glutamate decarboxylase, with a Ki of 33 μM.

Sarcosine (Methylglycine) is a competitive inhibitor of the type I glycine transporter (GlyT1) and an N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) co-agonist.

LY2365109 hydrochloride is a potent and selective GlyT1 inhibitor, with an IC50 of 15.8 nM for glycine uptake in cells over-expressing [hGlyT1a].

Ibutilide Fumarate (U70226E) is the fumarate salt form of ibutilide, a class III antiarrhythmic agent. Ibutilide exerts its effect by activating a slow, inward, predominately sodium current rather than by blocking outward potassium currents. This results in prolongation of atrial and ventricular action potential duration and refractory periods. Ibutilide slightly decreases the sinus rate and atrioventricular (AV) conduction and produces a dose-related prolongation of the QT interval.

Bitopertin (Paliflutine) (RG1678, RO-4917838) is a potent inhibitor of glycine transporter 1 (GlyT1), with Ki of 8.1 nM for human hGlyT1b and IC50 of 22-25 nM in Chinese hamster ovary cells.

Opiranserin (VVZ-149) hydrochloride is a dual antagonist of glycine transporter type 2 (GlyT2) and serotonin receptor 2A (5HT2A), with IC50s of 0.86 and 1.3 μM, respectively. It shows antagonistic activity on rP2X3 (IC50=0.87 μM). It is development as an injectable agent for the treatment of postoperative pain.

Empagliflozin (BI 10773) is an SGLT-2 inhibitor (IC50=3.1 nM) that is potent and selective, with more than 300-fold selectivity for SGLT-1/4/5/6. Empagliflozin is used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Sotagliflozin (LP-802034) is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of the sodium-glucose co-transporter subtype 1 (SGLT1) and 2 (SGLT2), with potential antihyperglycemic activity.

Maralixibat Chloride (LUM001 chloride), an apical, sodium-dependent, bile acid transport inhibitor, prevents enterohepatic bile acid recirculation.

Licogliflozin (LIK066) is an inhibitor of sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT1 and SGLT2).

Phloretin (NSC-407292) is a well-known inhibitor of eukaryotic urea transporters, blocks VacA-mediated urea and ion transport. Phloretin is a dihydrochalcone, a type of natural phenols. It can be found in apple tree leaves and the Manchurian apricot. It promotes potent antioxidative activities in peroxynitrite scavenging and the inhibition of lipid peroxidation. It has been found to inhibit the growth of several cancer cells and induce apoptosis of B16 melanoma and HL60 human leukemia cells.

Ertugliflozin L-pyroglutamic acid (PF-04971729 L-pyroglutamic acid) is a selective and orally active hSGLT2 inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.877 nM, suitable for studies on the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Canagliflozin (JNJ 28431754AAA) is a selective SGLT2 inhibitor that inhibits CHO cells expressing mSGLT2, rSGLT2, and hSGLT2 (IC50=2/3.7/4.4 nM). Canagliflozin can be used for the treatment of type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Ipragliflozin (ASP1941) is under investigation in Type 2 Diabetes and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2.

Dapagliflozin (BMS-512148) is a selective sodium-glucose co-transporter subtype 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor with antihyperglycemic activity.

Phlorizin (Phloridzin) is a non-selective SGLT inhibitor found in apple, for hSGLT1( Ki=300 nM) and hSGLT2( Ki=39 nM) .

Dapagliflozin ((2S)-1,2-propanediol, hydrate) (BMS-512148 (2S)-1,2-propanediol, hydrate) is a selective, orally active inhibitor of the renal sodium-glucose co-transporter type 2 (SGLT2), in development for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It inhibits SGLT2, responsible for at least 90% of glucose reabsorption in the kidney.

NVS-ZP7-4 is a inhibitor of Zinc transporter SLC39A7 (ZIP7).

KGA-2727 is a potent and selective SGLT1 inhibitor, with Kis of 97.4 nM and 43.5 nM for human and rat SGLT1, respectively. The selectivity ratios (Ki for SGLT2/Ki for SGLT1) of KGA-2727 are 140 (human) and 390 (rat). KGA-2727 for the treatment of diabete.

Mizagliflozin is an orally active, selective SGLT1 inhibitor with a Ki value of 27 nM for human SGLT1. Mizagliflozin is 303 times more selective for SGLT1 than for SGLT2. Mizagliflozin is an anti-diabetic drug that can improve postprandial blood sugar fluctuations and may have the potential to improve chronic constipation.
