Calcium Channel

Thapsigargin is a natural product, an inhibitor of sarcoplasmic endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) and an endoplasmic reticulum stress inducer. Thapsigargin increases cytoplasmic calcium concentration by blocking the ability of cells to pump calcium into the sarcoplasmic and endoplasmic reticulum.

Ionomycin is an calcium ionophore and an antibiotic that binds calcium ions (Ca2+). It is produced by the bacterium Streptomyces conglobatus.It is used in research to raise the intracellular calcium level (Ca2+) and as a research tool to understand Ca2+ transport across biological membranes. Ionomycin promotes apoptosis and induces the activation of protein kinase C (PKC).

EMD57033 is a cardiac troponin C (cTnC) activator, a dominant Ca2+ sensitizer, which functions by binding to cardiac slow skeletal troponin C heterodimers to promote cardiac contraction.

Taurodeoxycholic acid (Taurodeoxychloic acid) is a bile acid taurine conjugate of deoxycholic acid, a human metabolite that stabilizes mitochondrial membranes and reduces the formation of free radicals.Taurodeoxycholic acid inhibits apoptosis by blocking calcium-mediated apoptotic pathways and by activation of caspase-12. Taurodeoxycholic acid has neuroprotective activity and has been used to study 3-nitropropionic acid-induced or stabilized hereditary Huntington's chorea (HD).

L-Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) is a natural product that is a potent reducing agent and antioxidant. L-Ascorbic acid functions in fighting bacterial infections, in detoxifying reactions, and in the formation of collagen. L-Ascorbic acid is used in the treatment of scurvy.

Ziconotide Acetate (107452-89-1 free base) (Prialt) is an analgesic agent and has been used to treat neuropathic and non-neuropathic pain. Ziconotide Acetate (107452-89-1 free base) acts by binding to N-type calcium channels situated on the terminal part of primary afferent neurons of the nociceptive pathway therefore reducing synaptic transmission with potent antinociceptive effects.

Iganidipine(NKY 722) is a new water-soluble Ca2+ antagonist with antihypertensive activity for research and neurological related diseases.

FPL64176 is a L-type calcium channels activator.

Verapamil (CP-16533-1) is a calcium channel blocker and an orally active and effective inhibitor of P-gp. Verapamil inhibits CYP3A4 and can be used in studies about the treatment of high blood pressure, heart arrhythmias, and angina research.

Jamaicin (AnCoA4), an isoflavone derived from the chickweed plant, is an inhibitor of the STIM1-Orai1 channel that blocks calcium influx, reduces its interaction with STIM1, and inhibits T-cell activation.

SAK3 is a novel modulator of nAChR activity that enhances T-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channel (T-VGCC) activity, and has potentiating effects on both Cav3.1 and Cav3.3 T-type Ca2+ channel currents.SAK3 is neuroprotective against scopolamine-induced cholinergic dysfunction in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells.SAK3 is used for the study of memory deficits and Alzheimer's disease. SAK3 can be used to study memory deficits and Alzheimer's disease.

Urolithin C is a gut metabolite of ellagic acid. Urolithin C induces apoptosis in PC12 cells through a mitochondria-mediated pathway.

Azumolene (EU4093 free base)

DS16570511 is a novel, cell-permeable inhibitor targeting the mitochondrial calcium uniporter. It effectively blocks the increase in Ca2+ influx dependent on MCU or MICU1 [1].

Nepetin (6-Methoxyluteolin) has antioxidant activity, it is a potent inhibitor of histamine release and calcium influx via down-regulation of the FcεRI α chain.

AY 77 (Unk-Cha-Chg-NH2) is a potent and selective PAR2 agonist. AY 77 showed selectivity for Ca2+ and ERK1 2 signaling (ec50 value of Ca2+ release was 40 nM and ec50 value of ERK1 2 phosphorylation was 2 μM). AY 77 can promote migration of human breast cancer cells in vitro.

Halofuginone specifically inhibits collagen type I gene expression and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) gene expression, which may result in the suppression of angiogenesis, tumor stromal cell development, and tumor cell growth. Halofuginone Hydrobromide is the hydrobromide salt of halofuginone, a semisynthetic quinazolinone alkaloid anticoccidial derived from the plant Dichroa febrifuga, with antifibrotic and potential antineoplastic activities. These effects appear to be due to halofuginone-mediated inhibition of the collagen type I and MMP-2 promoters. Collagen type I and MMP-2 play important roles in fibroproliferative diseases.

Ginsenoside Rd (Gypenoside VIII) may have properties that inhibit or prevent the growth of tumors.

Dehydronitrosonisoldipine is an inhibitor of sterile α and TIR motif-containing 1 and can be used in studies about neurodegenerative disorders. Dehydronitrosonisoldipine inhibits axon degenration and the Vincristine-activated cADPR production in neurons.

8-Bromo-cGMP sodium is a PKG activator, a membrane-permeable analog of cGMP. 8-Bromo-cGMP sodium has pain-relieving and vasodilatory effects, significantly inhibits Ca2+ macroscopic currents, and inhibits high K+-stimulated insulin release.

Felodipine (CGH-869) is a longlasting 1, 4-dihydropyridine calcium channel repressor.

Halofuginone (RU-19110), the competitive inhibitor of prolyl-tRNA synthetase(Ki=18.3 nM), could also down-regulate Smad3 and blocked TGF-β signaling at 10 ng ml in the mammal.

Gabapentin (Neurontin) is an Anti-epileptic Agent. The physiologic effect of gabapentin is by means of Decreased Central Nervous System Disorganized Electrical Activity.

Jasmonic acid (JA) is a phytohormone and plant growth regulator involved in plant defense and growth and development.Jasmonic acid plays an important role in signaling, inducing the MAP kinase cascade pathway and calcium channels.
