Litoxetine HCl is a selective 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and mixed 5-hydroxytryptamine antagonist used in the treatment of urinary incontinence. Litoxetine HCl in the absence of antimuscarinic concentrations without antimuscarinic properties (10 nM-1 microM) caused concentration-dependent relaxation of isolated oesophageal muscle mucosa in rats, reducing carbachol tone by up to 37%. Higher concentrations of Litoxetine HCl (3 microM-300 microM) were associated with significant relaxation up to abolition of carbachol tone. The antiarrhythmic activity of Litoxetine HCl, previously demonstrated in the isolated guinea pig intestine, was exerted in the isolated rat oesophageal muscle mucosa at concentrations greater than 1 microM. The 5-HT-releasing effect of Litoxetine HCl could explain the potency of Litoxetine HCl on 5-HT-induced relaxation in untreated rat tissue, which was reversed by pCPA treatment.

NHC-triphosphate triammonium is an active phosphorylated intracellular metabolite of β-d-N4-Hydroxycytidine (NHC) as a triphosphate form[1]. NHC-triphosphate triammonium is a weak alternative substrate for the viral polymerase and can be incorporated into HCV replicon RNA[1][2]. In an intracellular metabolism assay, HCV replicon cells are treated with 10 μM 3H-labeled NHC, and intracellular nucleotide levels are determined after 1, 2 and 8 hours incubations. NHC is rapidly convered into the mono-, di-, and triphosphate forms, and NHC-TP reaches up to 71.12 pM after 8 hours[1].NHC-triphosphate triammonium (NHC-TP) (5-40 μM) absence leads to full-length polymerization products, it can be a weak alternative substrate. In addition, incorporation of NHC-TP instead of CTP increases the molecular weight of the polymerization product by 16 (one extra oxygen) for each event and an obvious electrophoretic shift is observed in cell-free HCV NS5B polymerization reactions[1].Huh-7 cells are incubated with (10-50 μM; 4 h) NHC or a McGuigan phosphoramidate prodrug of NHC. Intracellular levels of the parental compounds and phosphorylated metabolites are measured using LC-MS/MS. Small amounts of NHC-monophosphate (MP) and NHC-diphosphate (DP) can be observed, while NHC-triphosphate triammonium remains the most abundant metabolite[2].NHC-triphosphate triammonium (NHC-TP) metabolite may directly target the viral polymerase and behave as a nonobligate chain terminator. It plays a prominent role in inhibiting early negative-strand RNA synthesis, either through chain termination or mutagenesis, which may in turn interfere with correct replicase complex formation.

Photoswitchable PAD inhibitor is a photoactivated protein arginine deiminase (PAD) inhibitor and a derivative of BB-Cl-amidine that contains an azobenzene photoswitch allowing optical control of PAD activity.1 Without photoactivation, it is a weak inhibitor of PAD2 (IC50 = >100 μM) and is less potent than BB-Cl-amidine in inhibiting citrulline production in vitro (kinact/KIs = 2,300, 600, 1,000, and 10,510 M-1min-1 for PAD1-4, respectively) and does not inhibit histone H3 citrullination in HEK293T cells overexpressing PAD2 when used at concentrations up to 100 μM. However, it can rapidly be photoactivated with UV-A radiation to the more active cis-isomer, which is an irreversible, competitive inhibitor of histone H3 citrullination with an IC50 value of 9.1 μM.References1.

AL 8810 is an 11β-fluoro analog of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) which acts as a potent and selective antagonist at the FP receptor. AL 8810 ethyl amide is an analog of AL 8810 in which the C-1 carboxyl group has been modified to an N-ethyl amide. This modification is analogous to the PG N-ethyl amides, as typified by Bimatoprost, that have been introduced as alternative PG ocular hypotensive prodrugs. In contrast to AL 8810 which contracted the cat iris, AL 8810 ethyl amide showed no contraction activity at concentrations up to 10-4 M and did not antagonize the activity of PGF2α-ethanolamide in this system.

9(Z),11(E),13(E)-Octadecatrienoic Acid ethyl ester (α-ESA) is a conjugated polyunsaturated fatty acid commonly found in plant seed oil. This fatty acid accounts for about 60% of the total fatty acid composition of bitter gourd seed oil and about 70% in tung oil. α-ESA is metabolized and converted to conjugated linoleic acid (9Z,11E-CLA) in rats. It has shown potential as a tumor growth suppressor. In colon cancer Caco-2 cells, α-ESA induced apoptosis through up-regulation of GADD45, p53, and PPARγ. In DLD-1 cells supplemented with α-ESA, apoptosis was induced via lipid peroxidation with an EC50 of 20 μM. It also inhibits DNA polymerases and topoisomerases with IC50s ranging from ~5-20 μM for different isoforms of the enzymes. α-ESA ethyl ester is a neutral, more lipid soluble form of the free acid.

Neuromedin C is a bombesin-like neuropeptide that stimulates uterine smooth muscle contraction and the release of gastrin , somatostatin, and amylase in rats. Neuromedin C is a truncated form of gastrin-releasing peptide corresponding to the GRP amino acids 18-27. It inhibits GRP and bombesin binding to rat pancreatic membranes (IC50s = 0.4 and 2.2 nM, respectively), which can be reduced by sodium chloride and guanylyl imidodiphosphate . Neuromedin C induces scratching and mast cell degranulation in mice when administered intradermally at doses ranging from 1 to 300 nmol/site, which is inhibited by the BB2 bombesin receptor agonist RC-3095 and reduced in mast cell-deficient mice. Neuromedin C (3.2 nmol/kg, i.p.) reduces rat glucose consumption by approximately 50% for up to one hour.

Rivanicline hemioxalate, also known as RJR-2403 hemioxalate or (E)-Metanicotine hemioxalate, is a chemical compound acting as a neuronal nicotinic receptor agonist with pronounced selectivity for the α4β2 receptor subtype, showing over 1,000-fold greater selectivity for this subtype (Ki=26 nM) compared to α7 receptors (Ki=3.6 μM). Its in vitro studies demonstrate no significant activation of nAChRs in PC12 cells, muscle type nAChRs, or muscarinic receptors at concentrations up to 1 mM. Furthermore, Rivanicline displayed less than one-tenth the potency of nicotine in inducing ileum contraction, with substantially lower efficacy, and failed to antagonize nicotine-induced stimulation of muscle or ganglionic nAChR functions, with an IC50 value greater than 1 mM. Chronic exposure to Rivanicline at 10 microM led to up-regulation of high-affinity nAChRs in M10 cells, mimicking effects observed with nicotine. In vivo studies revealed that Rivanicline significantly reversed scopolamine-induced amnesia and improved working and reference memory in a rat model, while being 15 to 30 times less potent than nicotine in affecting body temperature, respiration, and other physiological responses. Metanicitone's potency was approximately five times lower than nicotine in tail-flick tests following subcutaneous administration, yet slightly more potent upon central administration.

Z21115 is an orally effective phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor that can inhibit PDE4D7 with an IC50 of 10.5 nM. It suppresses the expression of IL-6, TNF-α, and iNOS induced by Lipopolysaccharide. In a DSS-induced mouse colitis model, Z21115 demonstrates anti-inflammatory activity without significant toxicity at doses up to 1 g kg.

U-51605, a stable analog of the endoperoxide prostaglandin H2 (PGH2), functions as an inhibitor with greater selectivity towards prostacyclin (PGI) synthase over thromboxane (TX) synthase. It also acts as a partial agonist at TP receptors. Studies show that at a concentration of 2.8 µM, U-51605 effectively inhibits PGI synthase in human foreskin fibroblasts, while a concentration of 5.6 µM is required to inhibit human platelet TX synthase. Furthermore, U-51605, at up to 1 µM, decreases the release of prostacyclin in SHR aorta triggered by the calcium ionophore A-23187 without impacting TXA2 production, and notably enhances the release of PGE2 and PGF2α.
