8-iso Prostaglandin E2 (8-iso PGE2) is one of several isoprostanes produced from polyunsaturated fatty acids during lipid peroxidation. 8-iso-16-cyclohexyl-tetranor PGE2 is a synthetic analog of 8-iso PGE2. There are no published studies on the pharmacological properties of 8-iso-16-cyclohexyl-tetranor PGE2.Formal...

The actions of many clinical prostaglandins, including those used for estrous synchronization and for reduction of intraocular pressure, are mediated through the FP receptor. CAY10509 is an analog of PGF2alpha containing a thio-fluorobenzene substituent in the lower side chain. CAY10509 has an IC50 of about 30 nM...

The mammalian transcription factor forkhead box M1 (FoxM1) is induced during G1 phase, with expression continuing through S phase and mitosis. Thiostrepton is a natural peptide thiazole antibiotic that inhibits FoxM1 in mammalian cells, preventing the expression of FoxM1-regulated genes, which includes FoxM1 itself....

Glimepiride is an inhibitor of sulfonylurea receptors (SURs) linked to the inwardly rectifying potassium channel (Kir6.2, IC50s = 3, 5.4, and 7.3 nM for SUR1/Kir6.2, SUR2A/Kir6.2, and SUR2B/Kir6.2, respectively, in Xenopus oocytes expressing the mouse receptor). It also induces intracellular insulin receptor (InsR)...

Pinane thromboxane A2 (PTA2) is a stable analog of TXA2. It is a TP receptor antagonist and an inhibitor of thromboxane synthase. PTA2 inhibits U-46619-induced cat coronary artery constriction (ID50 = 0.1 µM), U-46619-induced aggregation of human platelets (IC50 = 2 µM), and rabbit platelet thromboxane synthase...
