granulocytes

Sodium caseinates are proteins found in milk that induce proliferation and activation of granulocytes, and can induce granulopoiesis in mice.Sodium caseinates are used as thickeners and emulsifiers and are commonly used in the food industry.

Secretoneurin, rat acetate is a 33-amino acid polypeptide generated by proteolytic processing of secretogranin II (SgII). Secretoneurin, rat acetate induces dopamine release in the rat striatum in vivo and in vitro, and it exerts a very strong chemotactic effect on monocytes and eosinophils but not on granulocytes.

MLS-573151 is a selective inhibitor of GTPase Cdc42(EC50 of 2 μM). It is inactive against other GTPases family members, such as Rab2, Rab7, H-Ras, Rac1, Rac 2 and RhoA wild-type. MLS-573151 acts by blocking the binding of GTP to Cdc42.

CAP18 (rabbit) is a 37-amino-acid antimicrobial peptide derived from rabbit granulocytes, exhibiting extensive antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive [IC50, 130-200 nM] and Gram-negative bacteria [IC50, 20-100 nM]. CAP18 (rabbit) holds promise for the study and advancement of bacterial sepsis research.

(Z)-1-Methyl-2-(undec-6-enyl)quinolin-4(1H)-one shows strong inhibitory activity on leukotriene biosynthesis in human polymorphonuclear granulocytes, and it is very effective against mycobacteria.

Amelubant (BIIL 284) is a prodrug of active metabolites BIIL 260 and BIIL 315 with anti-inflammatory activity[1]. It is a potent, oral, long-acting LTB4 receptor antagonist that negligibly binds to the LTB4 receptor, exhibiting Kis of 221 nM and 230 nM in vital cells and membranes.

Gea 3162 is a potent inhibitor of ADP-induced platelet aggregation in platelet rich plasma (PRP). GEA 3162 stimulates cGMP production in granulocytes, platelets, and polymorphonuclear leukocytes.

Atuzabrutinib (SAR 444727) is a selective Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) inhibitor that inhibits intra-neutrophilic neutrophilic granulocytes through inhibition of the adhesion receptor signaling pathway, and can be used to study autoimmune disorders such as arthritis in rheumatoid rodents and pemphigus vulgaris.

Lipoxygenin is an inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) with an IC50value of 5 μM for inhibition of 5-LO product synthesis in isolated human granulocytes stimulated with the cation ionophore A23187 .1It inhibits hedgehog-dependent signaling in Shh-LIGHT2 cells and TGF-β-, activin A-, bone morphogenic protein (BMP)-, or Wnt-dependent signaling in HEK293T cells (IC50s = 9.3, 3.2, 8.2, 9.6, and 3.7 μM, respectively, in luciferase reporter assays). Lipoxygenin (5 and 10 μM) increases levels of troponin T (TnnT), a marker of cardiomyocyte differentiation, in human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) stimulated with BMP4 and the glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) inhibitor CHIR99021 .

1-Methyl-2-nonylquinolin-4(1H)-one has anti-inflammatory activity, it exhibits inhibitory activity on leukotriene biosynthesis in a bioassay using human polymorphonuclear granulocytes, with IC50 values of 12.1 microM.

LL-37 is a cationic and α-helical antimicrobial peptide expressed in human bone marrow, testis, granulocytes, and gingival epithelium and is upregulated in psoriatic lesions. It inhibits growth of Gram-positive E. coli D21 and Gram-negative B. megatarium in a concentration-dependent manner and LL-37 expression is induced in A549 epithelial cells, alveolar macrophages, neutrophils, and monocyte-derived macrophages following M. tuberculosis infection. LL-37 binds sheep erythrocytes coated with S. minnesota Re-LPS and induces agglutination with a minimal agglutinating concentration (MAC) of 12.1 μg/ml. It is a chemoattractant for, and can induce calcium mobilization in, human monocytes, neutrophils, and T cells that naturally express formyl peptide receptor-like 1 (FPRL1) and FPRL1-transfected HEK293 cells. LL-37 (10-15 μM) pretreatment of dengue virus type 2 (DENV-2) reduces its infectivity as well as levels of viral genomic RNA and NS1 antigen. In vivo, LL-37 inhibits cecal ligation and puncture-induced caspase-1 activation and pyroptosis of peritoneal macrophages, reduces levels of the inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, and improves survival in polybacterial septic mice.
