Roflumilast (APTA 2217) is an orally available, long-acting inhibitor of phosphodiesterase (PDE) type 4 (PDE4), with anti-inflammatory and potential antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, roflumilast and its active metabolite roflumilast N-oxide selectively and competitively bind to and inhibit PDE4, which leads to an increase of both intracellular levels of cyclic-3', 5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cAMP-mediated signaling.

Biotin (S)-sulfoxide is an inactive metabolite of the coenzyme biotin .1,2It has also been found inE. coliand is reduced by the biotin sulfoxide reduction system as a source of biotin.3 1.Denkel, L.A., Rhen, M., and Bange, F.-C.Biotin sulfoxide reductase contributes to oxidative stress tolerance and virulence in Salmonella enterica serovar TyphimuriumMicrobiology (Reading)159(Pt 7)1447-1458(2013) 2.Carling, R.S., and Turner, C.Methods for assessment of biotin (Vitamin B7)Laboratory assessment of vitamin status193-217(2019) 3.del Campillo-Campbell, A., Dykhuizen, D., and Clearly, P.P.Enzymic reduction of d-biotin d-sulfoxide to d-biotinMethods Enzymol.62379-385(1979)

NGB 2904 is a potent and selective antagonist of dopamine D3 receptor (Ki values are 1.4, 217, 223, 642, > 5000, > 10000 and > 10000 nM for D3, D2, 5-HT2, α1, D4, D1 and D5 receptors respectively). NGB2904 potently antagonizes mitogenesis stimulated by quinpirole (IC50 = 6.8 nM).

Methoctramine is a selective antagonist of M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (IC50 = 6.1 nM in CHO-K1 cell membranes).[1] It is selective for M2 over M1, M3, M4, and M5 receptors (IC50s = 92, 770, 260, and 217 nM, respectively). In vitro, methoctramine inhibits acetylcholine-induced reductions in isolated guinea pig tracheal tube contractions when used at a concentration of 1 μM.[2] In vivo, methoctramine inhibits bradycardia and bronchoconstriction induced by acetylcholinein guinea pigs with ED50 values of 38 and 81 nmol/kg, respectively. In a rat model of spinal cord injury, methoctramine suppresses bladder overactivity induced by the non-selective muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist oxotremorine M.[3]

OH-Chol is a cationic cholesterol derivative. OH-Chol, as a component of lipoplexes with [DOPE], has been used for siRNA delivery and gene silencing in MCF-7 cells and in mice via intravenous injection, resulting in lipoplex accumulation in the liver. Additionally, it has been employed in cationic nanoparticles with [Tween 80] to transfect pDNA and siRNA into PC3 mouse xenografts via intratumoral injection and with [Tween 80] and [folate-PEG2000-DSPE] in a KB mouse xenograft model for intratumoral gene delivery.
