isomerases

Glutathione arsenoxide hydrochloride (Glutathione arsenoxide hydrochloride(1271726-51-2 Free base)) is a potentially active anti-cancer molecule and inhibitor of tumour metabolism. glutathione arsenoxide hydrochloride targets the mitochondrial inner membrane adenine nucleotidyl transferase (ANT), which inhibits cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis. Glutathione arsenoxide hydrochloride can be used to recognize cell surface proteins such as protein disulfide isomerases.

D-erythrose 4-sodium phosphate is the sodium phosphate of the monosaccharide erythrose. Erythritol is actually converted to D-erythrose 4-phosphate involving three isomerases.

D-(-)-Arabinose is a reducing sugar useful as a substrate in analysis of arabinose isomerases and synthesis of D-erythroascorbic acid in yeast. It shows strong growth inhibition against the Caenorhabditis elegans with an IC50 of 7.5 mM.

CCF642 (AC1LYELL) is a novel PDI-inhibiting compound with antimyeloma activity.

Suc-AEPF-AMC (Suc-Ala-Glu-Pro-Phe-AMC) is a peptide substrate for the peptidyl prolyl isomerases Pin1 and Par14, and is a peptide compound that can be used to assay protease activity.

2-arachidonyl glycerol (2-AG) exhibits cannabinoid (CB) agonist activity at the CB1 receptor, is an important endogenous monoglyceride species, and is thus considered to be the natural ligand for the CB1 receptor. 2-AG can also be metabolized by cyclooxygenase-2 and specific prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) isomerases to form PG 2-glyceryl esters. Fluprostenol serinol amide (Flu-SA) is a stable analog of PGF2α 2-glyceryl ester that has much greater stability. The biological activity of Flu-SA has not yet been determined.

Juglone (Regianin) is a natural naphthoquinone found in the black walnut (J. nigra) and other plants in the Juglandaceae family. Juglone also irreversibly inhibits peptidyl-prolyl cis trans isomerases of the parvulin family, including human Pin1, yeast Ess1 Ptf1, and E. coli parvulin (Ki = 55.9 nM). Juglone also blocks transcription by RNA polymerases I, II, and III (IC50s = 2-7 μM) and attenuates kidney fibrosis in rats treated with unilateral ureteral obstruction, both through Pin1-independent mechanisms.
