DNL343 is a selective and potent eIF2B activator that crosses the blood-brain barrier and inhibits the assembly of stress granules (SGs) induced by the C9ORF72 dipeptide repeats. DNL343 may be useful in the study of neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

MSU-42011 is an orally active retinoid X receptor-like (RXR) agonist. It potently inhibits the expression of iNOS, low SREBP-induced and activated RXR, and p-ERK at the protein level. MSU-42011 has demonstrated antitumor activity in a [kras]-driven mouse model of lung cancer and is effective for the treatment of preclinical [kras]-driven lung cancer with immunomodulatory activity.

GP 1a is a potent agonist of cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) (EC50=7.1), as shown in cAMP, GTPγS and β-arrestin recruitment assays. GP 1a is approximately 30-fold more selective for CB2 receptors than CB1 receptors and increases P-ERK1/2 expression in HL-60 cells in vitro. GP 1a is beneficial for skin wound healing. GP 1a inhibits inflammation and fibrogenesis while promoting epithelial re-formation.

ATPγS tetralithium salt is a good substrate for RNA-stimulated nucleotide hydrolysis and RNA unwinding activity of eIF4A.

CCT020312 (0-9 µM, 24 h) treatment of medium HT29 cells for 24 h resulted in a concentration-dependent loss of P-S608-pRB signaling with linear response values between 1.8 and 6.1 µM.

GCN2-IN-7 is an orally active, potent and selective inhibitor of the environmental sensing protein GCN2 with anti-tumor activity and can be used to study melanoma.

BTdCPU is a potent activator of heme-regulated eIF2α kinase (HRI) . BTdCPU promotes eIF2α phosphorylation and induced apoptosis in resistant cell.

ISRIB (trans-isomer) is a potent inhibitor of PERK (IC50=5 nM) that restores protein translation and prevents SG formation in the presence of P-eIF2α.
