Thromboxane A2 (TXA2) is a potent thrombogenic and vasoconstrictor eicosanoid, produced in large quantities by activated platelets. TXA2 has been implicated as a causal factor in the onset of stroke and myocardial infarction. BM 567 is a dual acting antithrombogenic agent, acting as an inhibitor of thromboxane A2...

(R,S)-Anatabine is an alkaloid that has been found as a minor component in tobacco (Nicotiana). It is an agonist of alpha4beta2 and alpha6/alpha3beta2beta4 subunit-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs, EC50s = 6.1 and 3.6 µM, respectively). It is selective for alpha4beta2 and alpha6/alpha3beta2beta4...

rPLA2 is a calcium-dependent cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) initially isolated and characterized from bovine and human red blood cells (RBCs). It has a molecular mass of 42 kDa and biochemical properties similar to cPLA2 Type IV. EA4 is a quinone derivative that inhibits rPLA2 with a Ki of 130 µM. It inhibits...

Dexamethasone is a synthetic glucocorticoid that binds the human glucocorticoid receptor with a higher affinity than a natural ligand, cortisol (Kd = 5 nM versus 17 nM, respectively). Through receptor activation, dexamethasone has both transactivating and transrepressing effects on gene expression, producing, in...

N-Oleoyl dopamine (ODA) is a selective, endogenous vanilloid receptor 1 (VR1) agonist isolated from bovine brain. Structurally, it is the amide of oleic acid and dopamine and is therefore a "hybrid" analog which incorporates components of both the anandamide-like and dopamine neurotransmitter pathways. ODA binds to...

Ramatroban is a dual TP and DP2/CRTH2 receptor antagonist (Kis = 4.5 and 4.3 nM for the human receptors, respectively). It is selective for these receptors over the prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptor subtypes EP1 and EP2, as well as the FP and IP receptors, at 1 µM. Ramatroban inhibits contractions induced by U-46619...

APF is an aromatic amino-fluorescein derivative and fluorescent probe for highly reactive radicals. It has low intrinsic fluorescence, however, upon oxidation by hydroxyl radical, hypochlorite ion, and certain peroxidase intermediates, it is converted to the highly fluorescent molecule fluorescein, facilitating the...

The CB2 receptor is localized predominantly in peripheral tissues, including the spleen and hemopoietic cells. The CB1 and CB2 receptors are G-protein coupled receptors that bind the active component of cannabis, Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol, as well as anandamide which is an endogenous CB receptor ligand. This...

Several different arachidonoyl amino acids, including N-arachidonoyl-3-hydroxy-gamma-aminobutyric acid (NAG-3H-ABA), have been isolated and characterized from bovine brain. The glycine congener (NAGly, Cay-90051) was further characterized and found to suppress formalin-induced pain in rats. NAG-3H-ABA was also found...

The biology of highly reactive oxygen radical species is of great interest in many biomedical research disciplines, including neurodegeneration, aging, cancer, and infectious diseases. There are a number of fluorescent reagents, such as 2,7-dichlorodihydrofluorescein (DCDHF), that can be used to detect free...
