HMS-I1 Hydrobromide is a probe that works by destroying heterochromatin mediated transcriptional gene silencing and is used for studies of heterochromatin formation and function.

HMS-I2 is a chemical probe used to form heterochromatin. It works by disrupting heterochromatin mediated transcriptional gene silencing.

HMS607P03 is an activator of SIRT1 which induces autophagic cell death via the AMPK-mTOR-ULK complex and induces mitophagy by the SIRT1-PINK1-Parkin pathway. HMS607P03 downregulates 14-3-3γ, catalase, profilin-1, and HSP90α.

Sinogliatin, a glucokinase activator, is used potentially for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Medrysone (6α-Methyl-11β-hydroxyprogesterone) is a topical, synthetic glucocorticoid with metabolic, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. Medrysone exerts its effect by interacting with specific intracellular glucocorticoid receptors and subsequently binds to DNA to modify gene expression. This results in an induction of the synthesis of certain anti-inflammatory proteins while inhibiting the synthesis of certain inflammatory mediators. Consequently, an overall reduction in chronic inflammation and autoimmune reactions is accomplished.

Dorzagliatin (HMS5552) is a dual-acting glucokinase (GK) activator. It also improves glycaemic control and pancreatic β-cell function in type 2 diabetes.
