Latanoprost ethyl amide (Lat-NEt) is a latanoprost analog in which the C-1 carboxyl group has been modified to an N-ethyl amide. Prostaglandin esters have been shown to have ocular hypotensive activity. Prostaglandin N-ethyl amides were recently introduced as alternative prostaglandin ocular hypotensive prodrugs....

Clozapine-N-oxide is a major metabolite of clozapine (Cay-12059) and an activator of designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADDs) derived from human muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (EC50s = 16.7, 323, 17.4, 18.3, and 18.7 nM for PASMCs expressing hM1-5D receptors, respectively). It...

The asarones, including alpha-asarone (Cay-11681) and beta-asarone, were first isolated from volatile oils of plants of the genus Acorus, which are used in Ayurvedic medicine. beta-Asarone is noted for its neuroprotective effects, as it ameliorates depression, reduces dopamine-induced neurotoxicity, and attenuates...

P7C3 is an orally bioavailable and brain penetrant aminopropyl carbazole that exhibits proneurogenic and neuroprotective activity by preventing apoptosis of newly postmitotic neurons in the subgranular zone of the hippocampal dentate gyrus. At doses of 5 mg/kg and above, it has been shown to promote the survival of...
