Description: L-APB is a potent and specific agonist for the group III mGluRs, with EC50s of 0.13, 0.29, 1.0, 249 μM for mGlu4, mGlu8, mGlu6 and mGlu7 receptors, respectively.
Target: mGlu4:0.13 μM (EC50) mGlu8:0.29 μM (EC50) mGlu6:1.0 μM (EC50) mGlu7:249 μM (EC50)
In Vivo: Paw withdrawal threshold in response to application of von Frey filaments before spinal nerve ligation is 22.6±2.4 g. The mechanical threshold decreases significantly (2.3±0.5 g, P<0.05) within 10 days after nerve ligation and remains stable for at least 8 weeks. Intrathecal injection of 5 to 30 μg of L-APB significantly increases the paw withdrawal threshold in response to application of von Frey filaments in eight nerve-ligated rats in a dose-dependent manner. The maximal effect of L-APB appears within 45 min and gradually subsided in 120 min following intrathecal administration[2].
Animal Administration: Rats[2] The effect of L-APB (L-AP4: 5, 10, and 50 μM) on identified ascending dorsal horn neurons is studied in 20 L5 and L6 spinal nerve ligated rats. L-APB, starting with the lowest concentration, is applied topically onto the exposed spinal cord. Five to 10 min following L-APB application, the response of neurons to graded mechanical stimuli is re-examined. To ensure that the effect of L-APB on dorsal horn neurons is through group III mGluRs, the inhibitory effect of 50 μM L-APB is tested before and after topical application of 100 μM MAP4, a specific antagonist for group III mGluRs, in another 12 dorsal horn neurons. MAP4 is applied to the recording site 10 min before application of 50 μM L-APB. In addition, to determine whether topical application of L-APB affects ascending dorsal horn neurons in normal rats, the effect of 50 μM L-APB on spontaneous and evoked responses to graded mechanical stimuli is examined in 11 dorsal horn neurons from eight normal rats. Also, the effect of topical spinal application of 100 μM MAP4 alone on these cells is tested 15 to 20 min after washout of L-APB solution from the recording site[2].

DC31074 Isopropyl myristate Isopropyl myristate is the ester of isopropyl alcohol and myristic acid.
DC79609 NCGC00685960 NCGC00685960 is a Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) inhibitor with an IC50 < 10  nM. NCGC00685960 has potent antitumor activity. NCGC00685960 increases H3K27 trimethylation levels in ovarian cancer cells and inhibits α-SMA expression in NNMT-expressing ovarian fibroblasts. NCGC00685960 reduces 1-MNA levels, reverses SAM and H3K27 hypomethylation and significantly impairs collagen contractility in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). NCGC00685960 can be used for cancers research.
DC77813 Zeltociclib Zeltociclib is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor with antitumor effects.
DC77714 S3226 S3226 is an inhibitor for Na+/H+ exchange subtype 3 (NHE3) with an IC50 of 0.2 µmol/L in rat NHE3 transfected fibroblasts. S3226 exhibits protective activity in rat ischemia-induced acute renal failure models.
DC75868 AZ14133346 AZ14133346 (compound 36) is a potent and selective inhibitor of EGFR Exon20 insertions, with the IC50 of 85 nM. AZ14133346 plays an important role in cancer research.
DC75865 TI17 ​​TI17​​ represents a novel class of targeted anticancer agents that specifically disrupt DNA damage repair mechanisms in malignant cells.
DC75816 Nisoxetine Nisoxetine acts as a highly selective and potent noradrenaline transporter (NET) antagonist, exhibiting a binding affinity (Kd) of 0.76 nM. In addition to its antidepressant properties, nisoxetine functions as a local anesthetic by inhibiting voltage-gated sodium channels. This dual pharmacological activity makes it a compound of interest for both neurological and pain management research.
DC75641 GENZ-644282 TFA salt Genz-644282, also known as SAR402674, is a non-camptothecin inhibitor of topoisomerase I with potential antineoplastic activity. Topoisomerase I inhibitor Genz-644282 binds to and inhibits the enzyme topoisomerase I, which may result in the inhibition of repair of single-strand DNA breaks, DNA replication, and tumor cell growth in susceptible tumor cell populations.
DC75325 PSMA-617 TFA PSMA-617, also know as vipivotide tetraxetan, is a ligand used to make 177Lu-PSMA-617, which is a radioactive molecule to fight cancer. PSMA617 possesses a small peptide, which was designed to target prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). PSMA617 demonstrates high radiolytic stability for at least 72 h. PSMA617 has high inhibition potency (equilibrium dissociation constant Ki=2.34±2.94 nM on LNCaP; Ki=0.37±0.21 nM enzymatically determined). 177 Lu-PSMA-617 offers a potential additional life-prolonging treatment option for men with mCRPC.
DC75202 Fosaprepitant free acid Fosaprepitant, also known as MK0517, is an antiemetic drug, administered intravenously. It is a prodrug of aprepitant. Fosaprepitant was developed by Merck & Co. and was approved. It is a prodrug of Aprepitant. It aids in the prevention of acute and delayed nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy treatment. Fosaprepitant is a weak inhibitor of CYP3A4, and aprepitant, the active moiety, is a substrate, inhibitor, and inducer of CYP3A4
