Cholic acid is a primary bile acid. It is formed from cholesterol via a multistep process catalyzed by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms CYP7A1, CYP8B1, and CYP27A1. Cholic acid is conjugated to glycine or taurine by bile acid-CoA:amino acid N-acyltransferase (BAAT) to produce glycocholic acid (GCA, Cay-20276) and...

Fingolimod is an immune modulator, a prodrug form of the sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor agonist FTY720 phosphate (Cay-10008639), and a derivative of myriocin (Cay-63150). It selectively inhibits calcium-dependent cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) over calcium-independent PLA2 (iPLA2) and secretory PLA2...

Sphingosine kinase isoforms, SPHK 1 and SPHK 2 , catalyze the phosphorylation of sphingosine to sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). S1P exhibits a broad spectrum of biological activities including cell proliferation, survival, migration, cytoskeletal organization, and morphogenesis. Sphingosine kinase inhibitor 2 is an...

Capsanthin is a carotenoid that has been found in C. annuum and has diverse biological activities. It reduces hydrogen peroxide-induced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and phosphorylation of ERK and p38 and prevents hydrogen peroxide-induced inhibition of gap junction intercellular communication in...

(S)-(+)-Clopidogrel is a prodrug form of the active metabolite of clopidogrel, which is a purinergic P2Y12 receptor antagonist. It inhibits aggregation of rat platelets induced by ADP, collagen, and thrombin ex vivo (ID50s = 4, 4.8, and 2.9 mg/kg). (S)-(+)-Clopidogrel increases tail bleeding time in rats in a...

Clioquinol is a metal-chelating antimicrobial agent with neuroprotective properties. It inhibits the growth of A. fumigatus with MIC values of 1, >32, 8, and 16 µg/ml in media containing no metal, iron, zinc, and copper, respectively. Clioquinol (37 mg/kg) decreases neuronal loss in the substantia nigra pars...

Acetaminophen is an analgesic and antipyretic compound. Unlike many NSAIDs, which inhibit both COX-1 and COX-2, early studies suggested that acetaminophen is a poor inhibitor of both isoforms. However, it does inhibit COX-2 by 83% and COX-1 by 56% in human blood ex vivo, albeit at a high 1,000 mg dose, with IC50...

Raloxifene is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that binds to the estrogen receptor with an IC50 value of 0.4 nM. It exhibits estrogenic activity in bone cells without stimulating breast or uterine tissues. Raloxifene guards endothelial cells obtained from rat aortic rings against oxidative insult (1...

Quinestrol is a synthetic estrogen that is effective in hormone replacement therapy. It is a 3-cyclopentyl ether of ethynyl estradiol. After gastrointestinal absorption, it is stored in adipose tissue, where it is slowly released and metabolized in the liver to its active form, ethinyl estradiol. Quinestrol has...

Programmed cell death protein 4 (PDCD4) levels are elevated during apoptosis and absent in many cancer samples. Loss of PDCD4 expression is an important event in cancer cell progression whereas the restoration of PDCD4 protein can lower metalloproteinase activity and possible metastasis. The known isoforms of PDCD4...

Activation of latent reservoirs of HIV-infected cells is a treatment strategy designed to reduce viral load and eliminate the perpetuation of retroviral infection. Prostratin is a non-tumor promoting phorbol ester that potently induces HIV-1 reactivation in latent reservoirs of infected Jurkat-LAT-GFP cells with an...

Spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase that upon phosphorylation binds to immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs and mediates downstream signaling. Syk inhibitor II is a cell-permeable, pyrimidine-carboxamide compound that selectively and reversibly blocks Syk (IC50 = 41 nM) in an...
